Did you see the latest AllSaints’ short film ‘Far From Here’ with Maya Hawke? It’s really refreshing.
The film signals the start of a season-long collaboration for Spring/Summer 2017 between AllSaints and Maya Hawke, daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke.
‘Far From Here’ is soundtracked by Karen Dalton’s ‘Something on Your Mind’, recorded in 1971 in Woodstock’s Bearsville Studios, a key location in the film.
Maya showcases the Spring 17 collection throughout the film. It is a collection that expresses the codes and vices of the city colliding with the pastoral idyll of the countryside. The imagined wardrobe of an innocent ingénue is juxtaposed with the codes of a hard and dangerous city, embodied by the collage of intricate broderie anglaise and patent leather fetish boots.
“Anyone who spends any time with Maya will tell you that she’s smart, cool and possesses an infectious enthusiasm for new ideas, the creative process, and life in general. And as the title suggests, making this film with Maya is a conscious decision to escape from the city and New York’s increasingly overcrowded fashion week. It felt more appropriate, more free, more now,” said AllSaints’ creative director Wil Beedle.
