23-year-old Gia Coppola, grand-daughter of legendary director Francis Ford Coppola, is following in her famous family’s footsteps by taking a stab at directing. Coppola helms the lens for the new “Zac Posen for Target” campaign video. The video follows nouvelle girl group The Like — Copolla’s friends since high school — as the prep for a show backstage and then rocking out in front of a psychedelic light show.. all while showing off their new designer duds. The clip starts out soft and moody, before breaking out into an explosive and frenetic free for all.
Copolla says she was inspired by old footage of The Beatles in their hotel room, and liked the contrast between relaxing behind-the-scenes and then going crazy on stage. The rock-star video is the perfect companion piece to Posen’s collection, which the designer says was inspired by people like Lou Reed and Jim Morrison. As for The Like? If you like what you see in the video (no pun intended), you can also catch the band performing at Posen’s 24-hour Target pop-up store and party next week.
