Set in Victorian London, the campaign video for the Agent Provocateur 2012 Fall/Winter collection takes note from The Picture of Dorian Gray. However, unlike the decrepit portrait of Oscar Wilde's protagonist, this film for the luxury lingerie brand uses professional dancer Monica Cruz, the younger sister of A-lister Penelope Cruz. In it, the conservatively dressed Cruz is brought to a castle to take a picture with a magical camera that wil reveals her "true self" and what the viewers find is that she is filled with an inner sensuality.
The vivacious video was created by Black Label Productions along with director Tim Pope, filling the dark gothic landscape with the mesmerizing moves of Cruz. The bewitching film urges women to self-actualize their alluring nature, just as Cruz had, with the sexy attire provided by the Agent Provocateur 2012 Fall/Winter collection.
