This is the first time my work has had such a strong social commentary. The video went on to win WEBBY Award for Public Service &#038; Activism (video).

Each image was accompanied by a moving image version. Onto the still images and cover, a channels effect was applied, this was another way of suggesting motion within the image. Lizzo was a lot of fun on set and really understood the references and the clothes. There was a dream team on this shoot, stylist <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/dena-giannini\">Dena Giannini<\/a>, hairstylist <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/yusef\">Yusef Williams<\/a> &#038; makeup artist <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/renee-garnes\">Renee Garnes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"selected-work\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FENDACE: Fendi by Versace Collection | Campaign Film | Versace\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m-jRO4HYo_E?feature=oembed&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/versace-fendi-by-versace---fendace\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<h6>FENDACE (Versace), 2022<\/h6>\n<p><\/a>It was a dream to be involved in the iconic collaboration between Fendi and Versace, shooting alongside Meisel, under the artistic direction of <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/ronnie-cooke-newhouse\">Ronnie Cooke-Newhouse<\/a>. I wanted the concept of the video to be a way to get the name &#8216;FENDACE&#8217; stuck in your head. This was my first time working with Set Designer, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/mary-howard\">Mary Howard<\/a>, who brought the FENDACE club sets to life. I was excited to have the girls do the runway down the stairs into the nightclub. It was really refreshing to work on a project with minimal speaking after a stint of projects with heavy dialogue.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"selected-work\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-Rm1IfXjbpQ<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/louis-vuitton-vuittamins-pre-fall-2021-collection--louis-vuitton\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<h6>Louis Vuitton, 2021<\/h6>\n<p><\/a>Some of my favourite projects have been with the Art Director <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/ronnie-cooke-newhouse\">Ronnie Cooke-Newhouse<\/a>. Originally Ronnie&#8217;s brief was an interview with Stacy Martin. When I discovered that she was English and French, I thought that it would be interesting for her to interview herself. I know from Netflix that people have become so comfortable with watching foreign language film and TV, so this was another part of the thinking behind the concept. Shooting this was tricky yet fun. We had a stand-in who looked just like Stacy, all you see in the video is the back of her head. This gave Stacy an eye-line to look at. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"selected-work\">\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Judi Dench Answers Questions From 18 Of Her Most Famous Fans | Ask A Legend | British Vogue\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/618YE3XmIQI?feature=oembed&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/british-vogue-judi-dench-answers-questions-from-18-of-her-most-famous-fans--ask-a-legend\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<h6>Judi Dench, 2020<\/h6>\n<p><\/a>This was shot in the studio next door to <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/people\/nick-knight\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nick Knight<\/a>, who was shooting Judi&#8217;s British Vogue Cover.
