Watch: The Last Magazine Takes Joseph Altuzarra, YSL and Proenza Schouler From New York to the Alps
By Lauren ShermanFilmmaker Simon Cave didn’t want to make the typical fashion film when beginning work on “Distances,” a short piece created for The Last Magazine. So he relied somewhat on the wisdom of his friend, designer Joseph Altuzarra. “Joseph and I love movie trailers, so I wanted to make a fashion film in the same vein–something that suggests more of a narrative,” he says of the project, “I planned a trip to the Alps and Joseph supplied some incredible dresses…. His work lends itself to the moving image so well.”
The result is more about beauty and less about fashion, but one can’t help notice the model’s gorgeous wares. Along with Altuzarra pieces, the lucky lady featured in the clip–filmed in both New York and the Alps–wears YSL shoes and a Proenza Schouler dress.

I think it would be more beneficial to be truly avant garde and conceptual than attempt a narrative short. It really doesn’t have much of an impact besides “wah? Whatsup with the horse?” It just doesn’t work. Perhaps I should watch it a few more times? I am a harsh critic as I am a film school grad and still haven’t seen a fashion video I like. I do, however, LOVE the soundtrack. If anyone knows what it is please share.
Nothing new about this. Very ‘so what’ and you can’t see the clothes!
