Two protagonists, somehow lost and apathic, are breaking out of from their uniformed self and find their own, unique style. Located in a mysterious reactor, the protagonists are forced to act and find their way through labyrinthian ailes in a world apart from all space-time continuum. While the two individuals try not to get lost, the designer is leading them towards infinite style freedom..

After having its official premiere at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin last week, we like to introduce you to the latest fashion film from our director Cristian Straub and Riese Farbaute Filmproduction, featuring the SS 2012 collection of Berlin fashion label “esther perbandt”. With it’s length of 8 minutes and the use of different camera-formats in each of the four chapters, it sets up new impulses for avantgarde fashion films.

Actually its the worlds first Turnaround-iPad-Film, involving the viewer immediately into the story: due to it’s different horizontal and vertical camera-formats, the viewer is required to turn around the screen in every new chapter and help our protagonists finding the right way…

Watch the iPad version of the film right here!

German film production (and Ravished sponsor) RIESE FARBAUTE just released their new film
{ THE BOX }, which announces the exclusive shoe collection “Görtz designed by Perret Schaad” at this year’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Berlin. Director is Ravished founder Cristian Straub (“Dervishes in Space”).

A beautiful messenger is carrying a white glowing box in a cryptic and moody atmosphere, enhanced by the darkness of a secret place.. Nobody, even the messenger herself, knows whats inside. At the end, it’s all about the queen, who is the only one who is empowered to open the box. But will she reveal the secret….?

We think this one’s quite a visual candy. Admittedly, we can’t be really objective about it. So feel free to take a look and form your own opinion.

“I felt it in every bone and every cell of my body.
My heart was ticking to the beat of the stars.”

Second installment of the “Science Fashion” Saga directed by our Ravished by Illusions resident Cristian Straub. It features a lot of fun stuff like lasers, projections, sensual movement, colors and also a haunting and touching score by by french deathgaze band UNISON. Compared to the first part, it’s definitely more on the fashion and lascivious side of things… Enjoy the trip!
