Fashion films are not a new invention of today’s modern times. In fact, the first fashion film was published in 1967 by Peggy Moffit and her husband William Claxton. Unfortunately, fashion films can’t reach the fame and success of the fashion brands’ ordinary publicity campaigns. However, fashion films are true feasts for the eyes. Check out my Top 5.
