Vancouver BC wedding fashion label Truvelle has created a beautiful and ethereal short film, Mannequin, to showcase their 2015 collection. Truvelle's creative director Gay Bayona collaborated with friend and filmmaker Mehdi Nowroozi on her whimsical vision. "As a filmmaker, I just want to do something original, something people will immediately recognize as fresh, I want people to be hypnotized and mystified," Mehdi says. The team filmed in the wilds of Lower Mainland, BC. Mehdi says, "Mannequin is an 8 minute adventure fantasy fashion film showcasing Truvelle's 2015 collection. A lot of my thinking has gravitated towards mannequins - it's been my artistic motif for the past 2 years. When Truvelle approached me asking if I'd be interested in coming up with a film for their 2015 dress collection, I knew where to start."
