Stuart Douglas’ latest film for Debenhams gives us a romantic, sumptuous glimpse into the department store’s stylish collection of winter coats and boots. It is the second of three films Stuart is directing as the store re-imagines its “Life Made Fabulous” campaign with a more visual and cinematic feel.

The exhilarating spot picks up where “Grand Hotel” left off, giving us a fast-paced and luxurious glimpse at the season’s latest collections from the Designers at Debenhams. The chic garments are showcased in the film by the assortment of beautiful people who are all intriguingly linked in a frenzied, romantic romp through the streets of Prague. The much-lauded sketch motif from the first Debenhams film returns in this spot, highlighting each stylish garment’s connection to their respective designer’s original vision, as we see the elegant clothing magically transform from real life to designer sketch.

The soundtrack to the film is again the infectious “Youth” by Foxes. The stirring song, in combination with the elegantly-shot apparel, the smouldering stars and the compelling scenarios adds up to another highly-polished and enthralling film from Stuart.

Stuart celebrates high street department store Debenhams’ 200th Anniversary with a cinematic visual extravaganza crammed with beautiful people, sumptuous colour and fantastical locations with a large dollop of intrigue thrown in.

The biggest, most ambitious spot to date in the ‘Life Made Fabulous’ campaign, introduces the 2013 Autumn/Winter collection with a cast of glamorous beauties who find their paths mysteriously intertwined. Old world glamour and modern, tailored day and night wear from designers Julien Macdonald, Jasper Conran and Henry Holland amongst others are showcased against ravishing locations found in Buenos Aires.

A further departure for Debenhams, is the appearance of a recording artist in its commercial. The sound track is ‘Youth’ by Foxes and the up and coming singer makes a cameo appearance, giving the film something of a promo feel.

Stuart guides us through a sensational world where secret rooms host old world carousel rides, magnificent staircases and moonlit porticos delivering the perfect setting for a sexy and enchanting ride.
