REDValentino reassigns British singer and songwriter Birdy the role of protagonist of the new AW2016/17 campaign. Her spontaneous spirit perfectly represents REDValentino’s
unconventional and dreamy poetry. Birdy was shot in the baroque Villa Parisi situated in the
outskirts of Rome by young photographer Olivia Bee.The campaign portrays Birdy performing her
song Take my Heart from her latest album Beautiful Lies in three different scenes: she is
surrounded by suffused candle light, lays on a piano covered in ivy, she wears black angels wings.
Birdy stands in the dark creating a magical atmosphere that continues the REDValentino
whimsical and surreal tale.
Olivia Bee, the 22 year old photographer and director from Portland, Oregon based in Brooklyn, New York. She is intrigued by the beauty of everyday life and how the beauty of memories (real or imagined) touches us.
