Meadham Kirchoff's Interest-Piquing Film

Meadham Kirchoff

Fashion advertising campaigns generally combine the best of sexiness, clean lines and elements of luxury and wealth; however, Meadham Kirchoff's latest attempt at selling clothing is a short film full of relatively disturbing imagery akin to how drug houses are often portrayed in cinema.
