Actress, author and proud feminist Lena Dunham recently directed a short fashion film for Rachel Antonoff's latest collection for & Other Stories.
Zoe Kazan stars as an ambitious young woman named Audrey who dreams of becoming America's next president. Though her door-to-door campaign isn't hugely successful, Audrey's imagination is a powerful vehicle that transports her directly to the White House. The four-minute film is light-hearted and fun, featuring a strong Girl Power vibe, along with garments from Antonoff's collection.
Besides being highly entertaining, Dunham's short fashion film acts as a catalyst for political discussion. This is especially important because consumers are more socially conscious than ever before, and they appreciate brands that are committed to social causes, such as the next presidential election.
