Shot in Duane Michals’s New York home the Bottega Veneta campaign blends poetry, film and restrained styling as Jacob Elordi delivers a quiet introspective performance in a series of black-and-white stills and a short film.

Jacob Elordi fronts Bottega Veneta’s “What Are Dreams” campaign created with photographer and filmmaker Duane Michals. Shot inside Michals’s New York home, the project includes a short film and a series of twelve black-and-white stills that reflect his poetic, surreal style. In the film, Elordi recites a poem Michals wrote in 2001, adding a quiet and contemplative tone. With minimal styling and a restrained visual language, the campaign balances fashion, art and film to present a thoughtful take on modern luxury.
