Model of the moment, Bambi Northwood-Blyth, is jumping off, in the most literal
way possible. In a film directed by Daniel Askill for cult fashion brand, ksubi,
a midriff baring Blyth, as well as co-starring models, Cisco Gorrow and Heidi
Harrington-Johnson, jump over classic 80’s muscle cars and vividly colored smoke….
All in slow-motion.
The video, meant to showcase ksubi’s new line of brightly colored denim, was shot
next to Sydney’s Kingsford Smith International Airport, with a billowing, opera-style
soundtrack as the models jump over cars, reminiscent of a bull and matador fight.
What’s even greater about the already gorgeous video is the brand’s foray into
fashion film, a previously untouched territory that is surely gaining more and more
steam. Instead of stagnant, one-dimensional images, artists and designers have
begun using a whole new media, perfect for capturing motion and creating an
entirely new aesthetic.
ksubi’s “kolors” collection is available in stores and online now.
