The Double Identity by fashion designer Karolina Zmarlak stars models Flynn Wilhelmina and Anna Schilling in a sickly sweet puppet performance comprised of weird robotic dances and suffocation scenes.
Directed by Jenna Elizabeth and Matt Kliegman, the film takes the duo piece from a dramatically sweet dance series of intense performances to a severely sick one, bringing out the wonderful story behind the Karolina Zmarlak F/W 2011 collection. The fashion film is said to be inspired by Women of Communism in Poland, portraying the struggles of strong individual identities and the power of personal expression.
The film was produced by Jesse Keyes with pertinent music by Morgan Z. Whirledge and shows how sickly sweet ideas can bring life to couture within the fashion industry.
