Fashion B Corp, Vestiaire Collective and Droga5 London have launched a brand campaign to re-introduce their pre-loved fashion marketplace, with a runway show modeled by a collective of fashionable puppets–created by Puppets Magic–made entirely from pre-loved clothes. The campaign and its collective of stylish sewn stars sets out Vestiaire Collective’s new brand philosophy with the positive rallying cry “Long Live Fashion.”
The pre-loved campaign features TV and online films set at a hotly anticipated fashion show featuring the collective, where we meet models Miss Classique, Rich, Lady Green, Drops and Hunter. The collective are puppets that are all made from and wearing pre-loved fashion. Directed by Andreas Nilsson of Biscuit Filmworks, this film features famous French fashion commentator and journalist Loรฏc Prigent, who narrates the action and makes a cameo appearance.
David Kolbusz, chief creative officer of Droga5 London, said, “Our pre-loved campaign was inspired by Vestiaire Collective’s purpose-led business, a company that prioritizes circularity and resells high-end fashion. And who better to give voice to the brand than the clothes they sell, fashioned into puppets. Our collective of puppets–stars in their own right–are not only made from pre-loved clothes but they also model them–the ideal representation of this wonderful business.”
This is the first major campaign by Droga5 London for Vestiaire Collective who became a client after a four way pitch in 2021. The campaign will run on national TV in France and Italy and online globally across Vestiaire Collective’s social channels and in digital media.

Director Gia Coppola Teams With Mejuri For “A New York Minute”; 1st Episode Takes Us To The Grocery Store
Mejuri, known for turning fine jewelry into an everyday luxury, has partnered with director Gia Coppola (The Last Show Girl, Palo Alto) and The Directors Bureau in Los Angeles, for the first time reimagining the brandโs story as episodic content. In a series of microfilms, co-created by Coppola and premiering following New York Fashion Week, Mejuri eschewed a typical celebrity campaign and cast us as voyeurs to a group of aspiring young women--real people, not actors--at the crossroads of their adult lives against the backdrop of New York City.
Titled โA New York Minute,โ the series features five real-life friends, who include one perfectly imperfect heroine named Emma. The women celebrate ordinary moments and interactions which reveal, sometimes retrospectively, the extraordinary within the mundane. Adjacent to the brandโs own community, the 30-something year old cast includes Laura Love (Emma), Rebecca Ressler, Natalie Vall-Freed and Rozzi Crane. Mejuriโs jewelry makes an appearance as the best supporting actor.
โWhen I met with Gia and The Directors Bureau team, there was instant creative and personal chemistry and a natural alignment on the desire to push and blur the lines between marketing, storytelling, and the construct of what a โcampaignโ could be,โ said Jacob Jordan, chief brand officer, Mejuri. โGia was able to push that idea into something that truly feels new and artful, with a realism and relatability that almost feels jarring. Gia was such a perfect collaborator and partner, someone I had complete trust in to be a catalyst for Mejuriโs values of celebrating women as their truest selves. I canโt wait for us to continue to tell the next chapters of this story.โ
