Ethereal Threads

LEVITATE

Luis Velasco

With this fashion film, we were looking for something more timeless, unlike the current concept of fashion associated with the change of 
tastes which quickly go out of style. We wanted it to pause the speed of our time while highlighting the ethereal textile qualities of this clothing through fast movements seen in slow motion. I grew up in a rural area of Spain where the landscape surrounding 
my childhood was simply crop fields, just sky and earth. For some people, it may seem boring, but to me, it conveys peace, and in that environment, I sometimes perceive an almost mystical sense. That's why I thought this could be the perfect scenario to develop the idea. To achieve this goal, we used a trampoline on the outskirts of 
Madrid, where the city abruptly ends and the countryside begins, a huge contrast that you can still find in this big city.

Wasn't Mine (Music Video) - From Ethos: Son of a Sharecropper

Terry Blade

The music video "Wasn't Mine" derives from the song of the same name by singer-songwriter Terry Blade's album "Ethos: Son of a Sharecropper." The term "son of a sharecropper" is a reference to Blade being a descendant of black American sharecroppers in Colerain, North Carolina. Sharecropping was a system developed in the American South after the end of the Civil War. Many former enslaved black American families became sharecroppers on large white-owned cotton farms and plantations. 

Each family began the agricultural cycle in the spring by getting seed, supplies, and food on credit from the landowner. They planted the seeds, tended the cotton plants as they grew, and picked the cotton when it was ready to be harvested. The landowner decided on a price for the crop and deducted the amount they owed him for the seeds, supplies, and food they had bought on credit from.

Even in the best of times, the family’s share might not be enough to cover these expenses. When the price for cotton was low, this became more and more the case. Landowners also cheated many black American sharecroppers. The result was more and more debt and dependency for sharecroppers in the 1880s and 1890s. 

Blade created this music video with historical archival footage.
