Top 10 Fashion Films of Fall 2023

The Top 10 Fashion Films of the Fall 2023 Season

It’s hard to disagree with the critics who say that the feature film has replaced the novel as the culturally definitive narrative art form of our time – and we may be seeing something similar happen in fashion as the fashion film is usurping the dominance of photography as fashion’s most communicative medium.

The best fashion films of the season make a strong case for this disruption in the tradition of fashion communication, using the moving image to reveal the character, narrative, and detail within clothing design in a way that still photography cannot.

Coperni delivered what may be the best use of AI we’ve seen in a campaign yet, creating a polymorphic story series that regenerates itself over and over across different scenarios and imagery drawn from a preset list of variables.

Saul Nash took the dance video to stunning new heights with an epic and intimate performance set against the otherworldly landscape of Iceland. Coach also used the medium of dance to explore the battle of self-confidence versus self-doubt.

Miu Miu shared a campaign film that, captured in one take and full of intersecting characters and moving parts, felt more like an experimental theater piece that happened to be captured on video – a fitting approach for the brand’s spirit of intellectual, idiosyncratic cool.

Here are The Impression’s Top 10 Fashion Films of the Fall 2023 season as selected by
Cheif Impressionist Kenneth Richard.
