As the face of Tod’s, Gwyneth Paltrow is definitely the best accessory for the Italian brand, especially in this 7-minute long mini-film for the Tod’s Pashmy bag.
Dubbed Pashmy Dream, the commercial was written and directed by Dennis Hopper. It features Italian actor Daniele Savoca trailing Paltrow around Italy as he tries to bring the woman and her Pashmy back together.
“Cinderella had her shoe,” says Hopper of the commercial. “Gwyneth has her Tod’s Pashmy bag.”
While this might not be Nicole Kidman/Baz Luhrmann’s amazing Chanel No. 5 ad, it certainly does inspire dreams of an Italian holiday. In a rather interesting note, Savoca also had a part in the Coco Chanel telemovie staring Shirley MacLaine.
Check out the film above and let us know what you think.
When I click on the video – the black website screen is in the middle of the video. I can not remove it. The same black screen is on all of your promotional interviews with Dennis Hooper and information about location, etc. I have uninstalled Adobe Flasher and reinstalled a couple of times and it does not seem to fix the problem. I want to send this video to some friends, but worried they will have the same problem.
