Here is the Diane Martel directed video for Miley Cyrus’ We Can’t Stop – a beautifully executed visual treat that you’ll want to watch over and over and over again.

Translated “Heal, Goose” (from an old German song) the film presents a Placebo-esque portrait of dark and experimentative youth. The soundtrack for the film will include Patrick Wolf, Le1f and Black Cracker.

The programme has signed up six leading cultural entrepreneurs to essentially provide unrivalled opportunities (also known as the best potential internship on this side of the Atlantic) to work in collaboration with them as part of the brand’s long-term, global commitment to help young creative talent.

Here’s a preview of the campaign featuring Susie ‘Style Bubble’ Lau and Mikey Trapstar. More details on how to enter at www.vitaminwatershinebright.com.

The description that accompanies the video is well, kinda amazing:

YO-LANDI VI$$ER is a cute young ORPHAN GIRL who has a big crush on a bad-ass GANGSTER BOY called ANIES.
ANIES has just got out of PRISON. INSIDE prison ANIES runs with the notorious NUMBERS gangs.
OUTSIDE prison ANIES runs with the UGLY AMERICAN street gang.
YO-LANDI thinks about ANIES day and night, hoping he will come visit her soon.
Sure it’s fun to fuck with the DARK SIDE.
But careful what you wish for…YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT!

…and so is the video.

Set in the heavens of the Greek Gods, three self involved narcissistic soldiers (wearing Ada + Nik swimwear) gaze at their own reflection in a pool of water listening to music (by Zebra Katz) on their Philips Fidelio M1s. The Snow Queen played by actress, model and presenter Zara Martin enters – practically floating on the clouds as she approaches the throne she summons a gift of Snow Queen Vodka from earth. She hands the bottle to The Snake King played by the inimitable Aiden Shaw and the snake “Cornflake”. Zara hisses, the boys then appear as if by magic in front of the throne – fully clothed in Ada + Nik. They then begin to gift their clothes to the King and Queen and fight each other for the clothes until one of the boys is left naked and alone. Credits under the cut.

The collection itself features ten unique pieces bringing to life my love adoration for a monochrome and minimalist luxe aesthetic, nodding to Ada’s previous collections.

The collection includes sheer and eel skin t-shirts, kilts, two pairs of leather detailed shorts, a leather detailed kilt, a statement biker jacket “Caesar”, open back structured dress shirts and calf leather cape; with accompanying swimwear and tank tops – all ethically sourced and produced.

With that in mind, you all have taste if you are reading this, so without further ado, here is the teaser for the campaign we shot for the luxury menswear collection that I have designed with Ada Zanditon. We’re showing at London Collections: Men on Sunday and it is something I am beyond proud of. The collection itself is incredible and a lot, if not all, of you will like it.

This fashion film was shot in collaboration with Rankin Studios and The Hunger Magazine with myself as creative director (story, art direction), my agency Nephew London on production and Thomas Knights as director. For music we collaborated with Zebra Katz and used his track LST CTRL (THANK YOU SO MUCH ZEBRA KATZ FOR PARTNERING WITH US ON THIS) and playing our lead roles are Aiden Shaw (icon, legend and muse) and Zara Martin (who puts Beyonce to shame with her acting role in this piece). The boys are beautiful – Tyler, Andreas and Carter from PRM Models and everyone else who is credited with involvement in the film can be seen at Hunger TV where Ada and I interviewed each other about the collection.

Another piece of key press is from Fashion Monitor (it went live today), which is a massive feature on how this collaboration came about (i.e. me pestering Ada). ANYWAY, enjoy the teaser. The full clip and full campaign drops tomorrow.

Now, officially housed on VEVO (yes, this is legit), the Chess Club / Sony RCA artist has just unveiled the music video for Waste of Time (out on July 7). The clip features reverse and mix-movement shots of the Danish singer dancing and being visually on point for the aesthetic that the music and track specifically brings to life. Oh, and there is a snake, a boxer and some nature and art. It works.
