With the atmospheric spread "THE UNKNOWN", MARC TRAUTMANN realized a series with laser light and the James Bond car Aston Martin DB 11 in London. On the team too were DOP Adrian Wolfson, hairstylist Patrick Forini, make-up artist Julie Jacobs, model Mitch c/o Select Model Management with post production by Pascal Schonlau. Art direction was in the hands of James Warner from London, who worked for GQ UK for many years.
For 'THE UNKNOWN', stylist Hope Lawrie went for a modern mix of exciting designers. The selection included offwhite for Champion,a bomber jacket from Acne Studios, boots from Balenciaga, a skirt from Magda Butrym with lipstick from Tom Ford. "The mood was inspired by Blade Runner and topics such as eye scanning," Marc tells GoSee.
And the car? Its unmistakable look is the result of a bold design philosophy. Alongside the striking new grille, the mussel-shaped hood, the innovative Aston Martin Aeroblade is a clever way to replace a rear spoiler by using the air flow to optimize stability. Brand new LED headlights and taillights create impressive visual signatures. More information on the DB 11 is available via ASTON MARTIN and lots more exciting transportation productions by Marc are available on his website.
