WHITE WEDDING: Scene Two, The Garden of Eden

A more pastoral scene is explored in tonight's Agent Provocateur campaign image and film, with our bride considering her vows before a pastoral, watercolour scene buzzing with wildlife and local colour. The film leads into a more adult, nocturnal passage with Kate's multilayered foundation garments seemingly emitting their own neon light, hinting at darker episodes to come.

WHITE WEDDING: Scene One, The Happiest Day of Her Life

From Joe Corré's screenplay directions that the heroine bride -Kate Moss- should appear "romantic, pink and full of hope" on the eve of her 'White Wedding', Nick Knight's first campaign image of six addresses all the classic elements of a kitsch boudoir scene: the powder-puff palette; the love heart vignette; the handheld mirror; a sweet butterfly hovering over virgin flesh. Meanwhile the accompanying film employs the help of a naked harpist to push the footage in more poetic direction. From tonight until Wednesday 7th, each night a different film and still image will serialise "the demise of a bride's 'big day' and the unravelling of the religious organisation behind it".
