Riches to Rags

A fashion film by Ellen von Unwerth

BY: PROVOKR Staff

German photographer Ellen von Unwerth flips the script on the “rags to riches” trope in this film she directed for the French fashion magazine Egoiste. Shot in black-and-white and starring model Coco Rocha, the short plays out like a quasi-erotic, high-fashion version of a Charlie Chaplain film.
