Stuart Weitzman : Rock Roll Ride

Stuart Weitzman, the quintessential American shoe designer, combines fashion, sex appeal and style into each of his designs. For the past several seasons, the brand’s philosophy has been brought to life on the social media small screen through the eyes of various multi-talented independent filmmakers. This fall sees its first woman director, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, following in the footsteps of past series directors James Franco, Balthazar Klarwein and Nino Muñoz with the dynamic short film “Rock Roll Ride.”



The enthralling short film, which stars model/actress Poppy Delevingne and Hollywood newcomer Dylan Penn, is indicative of ‘60s television series treatments, toying with split screen setups merged with grids to interlock the storyline into a present day collage. Close ups of their legs, feet and choice body parts, its plain to see the director’s intent – to make a sensuously and slightly racy video. Set to a remix of Lana del Rey’s “Ride,” the film captures the attributes of the Stuart Weitzman woman: sexy, confident, spirited and spirited – in a visually seductive and cinematic fashion.



"I like the multiple screens because it really reminds me of the layout of vintage Playboys. I use them as references and I love when it creates a mystery where you see a little bit of that scene mixed with a little bit of that and the close-up on the lips. I just love this whole aesthetic," she says in an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip.
