For the Fall/Winter 2018 season, 'The Everything' by Kenzo has been released to show off the brand's newest collection. Unlike other short fashion films that span just a few minutes in length, The Everything takes viewers on a journey into a family that unfolds over the course of nearly half an hour.
The Everything stars Milla Jovovich, Jay Ellis, Alexandra Shipp and more, and tells the story of a family of teenagers who wield unusual powers. In one scene, a character snaps her fingers and causes a woman's pair of sneakers to be swapped for heels, which causes the woman to stumble. Ultimately, the unique powers of the individuals brings them together in the end.
