Directed by Sophia Nahli Allison (a Best Documentary Short Subject Oscar nominee last year for A Love Song For Latasha) and backed by Melina Matsoukas' new creative collective de la revolución, Droga5 NY introduced lululemon’s first step into the performance footwear space with an artful love letter to "A Woman’s Foot." Mirroring the considerations of the BlissFeel Running Shoe–the brand’s first running shoe made for women first–the film celebrates the intricate nuances of women’s feet and what makes them feel good in motion.
“A Woman’s Foot” was shot in Mexico City and Shanghai in collaboration with cinematographer Michael “Cambio” Fernandez, with the local support of cinematographer Stevo Sheng in China. The film also features some of the brand’s ambassadors: Colleen Quigley, Kadeena Cox, Changning Zhang and Mirna Valerio alongside other real female runners.

Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.”
Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys.
“The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
