# Suicidal Fashion Films The Placebo/Love Drops Video by Bless By Bless is a Morbid Tale of Love By bless Mazarura | Published 2012-02-16 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sexy-short-film-on-sucide-and-love References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miMsdZYTZmw) & [blessbybless](http://www.blessbybless.com/home.html) In this short film, fashion designer Blessing Mazarura not only entertains us with a creative storyline and tantalizing visuals, but he also educates and makes a social statement on love and suicide. The irony of a woman so desperate for love she overdoses on it and various bottles of 'hope pills' is intriguing to say the least. It’s an almost contradictory but brilliant parallel, after all a desperate yearning for love or attention can be fatal when it is not attained. Seeing as February is the month of love, this is a fun an innovative video for all to enjoy. So beyond the beautiful models, the sexy imagery and the edgy fashion seen in the creation, the message is strong and simple: “Someone out there probably needs your love right now, so make the call”. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Morbid Love Stories:** There is an opportunity for brands to create morbid love stories in fashion films, provoking thought and sparking conversations. - **Socially Conscious Fashion:** Fashion designers can use their creations to educate and make social statements, addressing important issues like love, suicide, and mental health. - **Contradictory Messaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in creating fashion films with contradictory messaging that sparks intrigue and captures audience attention. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Film Production:** The production industry for fashion films can embrace the concept of morbid love stories and create visually captivating narratives that push boundaries. - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers have the opportunity to use their designs as a medium for social commentary, shedding light on important topics and connecting with conscious consumers. - **Mental Health Awareness:** The mental health industry can collaborate with fashion brands and filmmakers to raise awareness about suicide prevention and create impactful artistic expressions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Educational Valentine's Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/language-of-love.md) - [Bravery-Celebrating Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-is-beauty.md) - [Mental Health-Protective Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cost-of-beauty-a-dove-film.md) - [Shoppable Luxury Fashion Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-film1.md) - [Emotional Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnson-johnson.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Poeticized Luxury Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salute-the-detail.md) - [Shoppable Luxury Fashion Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-film.md)
