A moving picture says a thousand [and one] words



Lookbooks are generally that - a compilation of images in the form of a book, showing off the latest season’s collections. I have always been a fan of lookbooks, but I must confess, they haven’t always made sense to me. Some are more ambiguous or dare I say, enigmatic than others. Obscure shots of the clothes, more shots of nudity, no prices, no names, extreme locations…some are just eye-candy. And maybe that is the aim, hence some brands increasingly opting for moving lookbooks. Some moving lookbooks are like movie trailers and some are more advanced and appear like artistic mini movies. Take a look at a couple that have caught my eye recently.
