Fashion Film: Whirl, World

by Rei Nadal on 14 May 2025

A girl falls asleep on a ferris wheel. A fashion dreamscape follows.

'Venice and I wrote this playful story about a girl who falls asleep on a ferris wheel and then dreams of things in circular motion. Beneath this whimsical surface we found deeper meaning within every little vignette. As a brand, VeniceW explores existential questions through fashion, imagining a world where clothing is a living being, intertwined with the human experience. The S/S 25 collection which is featured in the film, Fountain Pen, blends ancient wisdom with whimsical design, evoking the fluidity and cycle of life.

It was important for us both that this film went beyond the traditional fashion film format and storytelling was at the forefront of the project. We had limited resources yet ended up shooting in several locations across two days, in glorious 35mm. We are incredibly proud and grateful for all our collaborators, especially with the main star of the project, model and actress Serena Motola.' - Rei Nadal.
