Wonderland Magazine | At the edge of things

Inspired by the musings of Virginia Woolf, Wonderland presents a fashion film directed by Naive and Stewart Bryden.

In this spellbinding fashion film, homage is paid to Virginia Woolf’s most experimental work, The Waves: an exploration of the trinity shared between individuality, the self and community. An iridescent display of eclectic suits, sequin-adorned cocktail dresses and layered outerwear, the visual captures each look within its own habitat — far removed from each other and yet merged into one singular narrative. As spoken word plucked straight from Woolf’s novel plays over a psychedelic harmony, the film flawlessly exudes the themes of its muse: portraying multiple stories merged into one, a unity between the self and other. Much like fashion itself, the film bears a compelling power that celebrates our limited time on earth — where we establish our individuality before “everything falls in a tremendous shower, dissolving [us]”.

Featuring Gucci, YSL, Dsquared2 and Chanel.
