Allegory of Water by Elena Petitti di Roreto (2018, 3 minutes)

The accumulation of plastic waste that leads to ocean pollution is the main theme of this short film by Elena Petitti di Roreto for Yoox and Vogue Italia. “In approaching this complex and extremely topical issue, the first sensation that came to mind was the fear, which grows stronger each day, of losing the richness and beauty of the oceans,” the director explained in an interview. “Fashion, like most Western art, has always had as its main focus the representation and expression of beauty and grace, and it is through this language that I decided to approach this theme”.
