VIRR Fashion Film: 'Vanity of Wishes'

Australian accessory label VIRR joined forces with local film-makers, Nicolo Bianchino & Mark Trzopek to create a mysterious short fashion film, ‘Vanity of Wishes’ as part of the No Home Fashion + Film project in 2011.

Through beautiful hazy and unfocused representations, VIRR uncover the elusive beauty and often-ambiguous nature of those fleeting moments prior to a couple’s first encounter. The stunning film explores the intricacies of the emotions between a couple, and gives viewers the opportunity to discover hidden meanings correlating with words and events of the film. Thus, offering a chance to reflect on ones own personal perspective of the imagery and poetry.

Shot in a room of a quintessential Aussie pub in Sydney, the film reveals an old-world and esoteric philosophy, carried by the narration of the great English poem, ‘The Vanity of Human Wishes’, which was the influence behind the VIRR’s current accessory range.

The film features exquisite pieces from VIRR’s latest accessory collection, some of which are now available from Streetfash.
