About

In Rei Nadal's latest fashion film, Korean Eyewear brand Gentle Monster present their 2018 capsule collection in collaboration with London-based designer Xander Zhou. Once Upon a Future continues Zhou's explorations into the extraterrestrial, presenting a warped future that sees aliens and humans interact in everyday life.

Produced by PRETTYBIRD, with styling from Gary David Moore and set design by Sophie Durham, this dystopic film sees models Tsunaina, Jesse T, Xu Meen, Simon Lyster, Sam Collet and Arthur Comley reconfigure humanity. Nadal plays with texture, light and reflection to indicate the unearthly sense portrayed in the garments on display.
