Have you ever dressed a blow up doll? No? Well, let me explain it.

They’re very small – children’s clothing upsettingly fits them best – and if the clothes are too heavy, they deflate under the weight of the garments. Their arms lack mobility, making it hard to get their limbs into the legs and sleeves. I guess they weren’t designed to be dressed.

When Ben came to me with his video concept, I was so thrilled, as always, by his strong creative vision and specific references. I love that he’s willing to take risks, visually, and that he trusts his designers to bring new ideas to the table.

I especially enjoyed dressing Ben and his husband “over the years” – aging them up or down with specific garment choices.

I styled this music video using entirely pre-owned garments.
