Thankfully the Fashion Film genre is growing beyond that, and some of the most memorable films are the ones with engaging characters that tell a story without upstaging the fashion its trying to sell.

Here are two examples that tell a story.

The first video: L.A.DY DIOR by John Cameron Mitchell
(2011) Is the story of a model at her breaking point which results in a great photo shoot.

The second video is its inspiration: JUN ROPE’ CM by Richard Avedon (1973) which still looks fresh today.
