this is a lovely short film, directed by photographer-turned-director karen collins for vs magazine’s latest issue featuring model helena christensen and her counterpart matt clunan. we’ve gathered that the film is about a cat that eventually, got out of the bag. thus, unleashing a pandora’s box effect that reduced helena into a miniature figurine inside a jil sander bag, where–voila! she meets handsome matt. it’s in this magical entity that they find each other under a table and exchange notes. in all seriousness, we love the open-ended story, and as experts on women’s behavior we know how “every woman alive” not only wears chanel no. 5, but can also relate to the love triangle unleashed here. sometimes your competition is non-other than yourself, as elegantly reenacted here by the inimitable danish goddess, helena christensen…
