'LANA' - video poem and interactive lookbook for SS17

This was a beautiful collaboration.

Katya Chitova did most of the work for this presentation: directing, cinematography, and getting Patrick Burniston who worked for String & Tins at the time to produce the music and sound design.

We managed to get Lauren McCrostie to do a voice over for us in Russian which worked out best since as we find out the protagonist is from another planet. Lauren doing her best at speaking Russian is the most authentic representation of an alien language.

I modeled wearing my own designs for LANA SIBERIE and am responsible for the concept being related throughout the film.

We also joined forces with Marlo Saalmnik whom I provided with a list of words identifying the SS17 collection. Marlo being a prodigy that he is, produced a poem:

Stop watching you. Start regarding me.
Are we that different.

They are here. The whispers upon the nape of your neck
Stroke. Stroked
A horn resonates faintly in the distance.
What do you say?

To some soul seeking semantics.
There is nothing left but touch. Forget what you knew.
They hear you too.

Now. Pierce your willful eyes.
A song of you. Infinite collages of us.
Over-time. Surpassing the omega.
Excavating urbanites.

The grass sways slowly. The wind its faithful compatriot
Ever present. Ready to become one.
Is it you or me.
Synergy in this forlorn unity.

They hear you too.
Always. Without trepidation.
Wonder, always question. Touch.
My dearest tangible observer...

All this beautifulness has kindly given space on one and only Lissome -
