Writing

Diane von Furstenberg Fall '17

Shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, and with art direction by Jonny Lu Studio, the campaign captures the city's beautiful contrasts and contradictions, as well as its unique style and glamour.

The campaign is set to a provocative voice-over written by emerging poet Rachel Kang. Kang, who writes about contemporary life and modern love, was commissioned to write a specific poem for the campaign that acts as a metaphor for discovering the city and falling in love.
