A cinematic social film for Southside Muay Thai, designed to cut through the noise of traditional fitness content.

Video campaign for The Iconic, accompanying the silk and satin photo series. Shot in dreamy slow motion, the film emphasises the textures and movement of the fabric, letting the light play across each surface to create a sense of elegance and refinement — positioning the collection firmly within the premium fashion space.
