Model selection was made by Rick Day & Steve Benisty, as the Fashion Editor Andre was on board for the initial concept & to confer with casting. All wardrobe was chosen by Andre.
Andre tells me the inspiration behind the story was woman in control. She has her
choice of men when she wants them, the power.
This is accomplished through the fashion, the colors, the set and the staging of each shot. Vania is clearly front and center in each shot with 'her men' naked, vulnerable and at her disposal. Her eyes speak of power but as well longing. Even with everything she could possibly want she still appears to be seeking.
Andre says that once the first shot was up, they knew they had something special. He also remembers the guys running around naked and Rick telling them to at least put something on their feet. because feet are hard to clean in post.
