Photo from Martini Gold/D&G short advertising film…it reminds me of this photo. |
Some of the top luxury brands have begun using short films, some of which are made by high profile movie directors, to showcase their products. These wonderful little films are incredibly well crafted and often feature wanderlusty locations where we all love to dream of spending our days.
Each video is less than four minutes long so enjoy at your leisure, perhaps over a nice glass of Prosecco. I think they are delightful!
This collaboration between Dolce Gabbana and Martini Gold is directed by Jonas Akerlund and stars Monica Belluci. The Fellini-esque short film takes place on the streets of Rome and is phenomenal:
One of my favorites is this one for Prada Candy perfume, directed by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola and starring Lea Sedoux:
Here is another from Prada, directed by Roman Polanski and starring Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley…it’s very funny.
Nobody does Paris better than Louis Vuitton:
The trailer from L’Icona from Ferragamo celebrating 35 years of their iconic Vara shoe (I loved them in the 80’s and I still do!)…go here for the full film:
And finally, two more great Dolce & Gabbana ones…in Italy, of course:
Aren’t they fun? Which is your favorite?
Linda {Calling it Home} says
These are really fun! I love the Dolce & Gabbana ones, they are happy and fun.
Albertina M. Cisneros says
I haven't seen any of these!! Thanks for the intro. I bet they are so fun
Castles Crowns and Cottages says
Oh, now THIS was fun! This would even be fabulous for the France party! Nobody does it like Vuitton, and not only is the black and white with the colored bags so effective, it is just downright COOL with Paris as the backdrop. Short films interest me, and I wish I could just make my own. Thanks you Sandy for this prelude to the France party! Anita

Sandy,
Isn't this a great way to create a mood around a brand and have some fun?! I love how the LV ones are in black and white except for the bag colors. Very clever…and love the music.
Enjoy the sun…..are you going to watch Prince Harry at the polo tournament?!

Hi there, back and catching up..missed being in blogland last 3 days. Most of these I have seen but not all and gotta hand it to the Europeans…no one does it like them! Just brilliant.
Bourbon & Pearls says
Oh I am just having breakfast but will come back to this later, I could stare at Monica Belluci all day.

Sandy, I love it! I agree with Bourbon and Pearls I could stare at Monica Belluci, she is stunning.
Thanks for sharing! I hope you are having a great week.
I read your comments at PVE about herb gardens, might I suggest container gardening? I have about 9 pots of mixed herbs and I love them!
Thank you for visiting!
