Directed by Warren du Preez & Nick Thornton Jones this chilling Fashion Film showcases the Polish-born supermodel as she evolves from theatrical beauty to haunting flame. The effect reminds me of the Solarisation techniques pioneered by Surrealist photographers Lee Miller and Man Ray at the beginning of the 20th Century while the sound design and music Jon Gosling and Emre Ramazanoglu perfectly sets the tone and pace of the visual evolution.

Then the clips were submitted to be included in the video.

The result is raw, dynamic and intimate. Check it out:
