Johan Lindeberg’s BLK DNM
The Swedish fashion designer looked to De Thurah, whose surreal music videos for the likes of Fever Ray and James Blake he cites as an ongoing source of inspiration, to channel the brand’s downtown conceit: “I wanted the film to embody all of the qualities that I love about New York—its depth and nerve, its capacity to be a bit anarchistic, yet still human and inspiring.” Embracing a post-apocalyptic, spectral mood, the Danish director’s short outfits actors Iva Gocheva, Bogdan Kwiatkowski and Kate Lyn Sheil in lambskin motorcycle leather jackets, merino wool cardigans and sulfur-dyed denim for a tale that swings from indie intellectualism to dark fantasy.
