Vanessa Bruno : 2011 A/W Promo Video

Personally, I wasn't familiar with the brand up until 2010, but a close friend of mine lead me to look into the brand.  They launched their London flagship store on Dover Street (or Grafton Street...not sure) about 1 year ago and I thought some of their products were pretty good.  Nothing cutting edge or trendy but luxurious, chic and elegant yet not boring.  Not something I would buy for my 'significant other' because of the limited colour palette (they are usually very very beige with few other earth tones), but for those who are frequent shoppers at Max Mara or even Burberry (not Prorsum), who needs a pinch of femininity, Vanessa Bruno seems like a good choice.  I think it is one of those brand that a mother and a daughter can shop together.  


Below is a promo video for their 2012 A/W, featuring Kate Bosworth.

The idea seems to be a "oh backward video, I've seen one of these", but I love the tone of the video.  Very surreal yet tranquil at the same time.  Kate Bosworth's makeup and the expressions works great with the whole mood & the concept too.
