I created and led the execution for a long running weekly series of films on Instagram for Mastered, with a new episode dropping every Thursday. I wrote, directed, and shot each episode.
Each episode is a profile of a different emerging fashion professional - giving their perspective, and detailing their challenges.
The films were the centre piece of a ‘Content', Culture and Community’ strategy with the aims:
- To tie together the multiple streams of the Mastered business into one consistent narrative
- To explain and prove Mastered’s mission and methodology
- To build and develop trust in the Mastered brand

This edition of #the10months is about resilience. Art director Sabina Hassan graduated to find there were no jobs in her native Lithuania. Determined to make it, she got a one-way ticket to London, with £40 in her pocket and no plan B. Seven years later, she looks back on that story and what it's meant for her career today.

This time on #the10months it’s the turn of Evan Jay, a fashion photographer based in Atlanta. Evan learnt to take things as they come, and try to find the positive when things get (really) difficult. He realises now that it’s time to zone in on his goals, and stop being a passenger.

This time on the #the10months it’s the turn of Natashia Miyazaki, whose career has taken in a stint selling original designs on a market in London, then working for global brands in Hong Kong and LA. Now she’s ready to revisit her dream - to start her own luxury womenswear brand.
A series of trailers which ran on Instagram and Facebook, using a parallax effect, combined with striking fashion photography, which would go on to be extremely successful for the business.
They functioned as the core creative of a wider integrated campaign that went across different product offerings.

I worked on creative direction on a film directed by Olly Cooper. As a warm up to their RE:CYCLE collection, Viktor&Rolf created a series of one-off t-shirts, made from Zalando overstock. In partnership with creative talent platform Mastered, five teams of young creatives were then invited to interpret the pieces and reflect upon sustainability in the fashion industry.
