Super model Kate Moss stars in “Made for Walking”, a short film for footwear designer Stuart Weitzman. The film, directed by independent filmmaker Balthazar Klarwein, was shot in central London and is set to a modern remake of the classic Nancy Sinatra song “These Boots Are Made for Walking”, which was performed by artist Kari Kimmel. Moss is the face for the brand’s 2013 Fall/Winter collection.
The film follows Kate Moss as she rides in a chauffeured car only to be thwarted by a traffic jam and opts to get out and walk to her destination – all while wearing Stuart Weitzman boots. The film chronicles the reactions of both eccentric characters and regular people to seeing an iconic supermodel decked out in spectacular boots walking through the London city streets.
The film is shot in dramatic black and white, mimicking the look and style of 1960s street photography while showcasing a stylized version of contemporary London via a retro classic filmmaking touch. As an extension of the brand’s current fall advertising campaign, the film mirrors Kate Moss’s effortless signature style. From her trademark shaggy furs to hip all-black ensembles, Moss’s must-haves are perfect pairings for Weitzman’s trademark boots.
“Made for Walking” premiered on September 19th during Milan Fashion Week.
