We selected references for frames from his (Bernardo Bertolucci) movies and combined these with paintings of Francis Bacon, which were a powerful source of obsession and inspiration for the same Bertolucci. The blend and contrast between these influential figures personalities represented the initial stage of the creative process for the new collection.
While realising the movie for Milan fashion week, we thought we wanted to translate this traditional inspiration in a very contemporary fashion film depicting real life transplanted in a virtual setting – Andrea Pompilio
