New Short Films “The Escape” To Be Released By BMW
BMW wants to put the emphasis back on the fun and excitement of driving with the return of their short film series starring Clive Owen. Back in 2001 and 2002 BMW released eight short films as part of a series called “The Hire” which features Owen as “the Driver” who was hired by different individuals to perform quite a few shady tasks. Each of the spots was directed by a well-known name, including famed director Guy Ritchie. He directed episode four which was probably one of the most popular of the series since is co-starred his then-wife Madonna as a spoiled pop star that Owen’s character had been hired to drive to a concert.
What made these spots so unique was that they each featured a different BMW vehicle and all of the emphasis was put on the driving and maneuvering abilities of the vehicle. The brand strayed from the traditional advertising forum of focusing on the more luxurious elements such as design and technology features. Instead, none of the specific features of any of the vehicles are put into focus, you are just enjoying the story and the impressive driving skills of Owen’s character when he is behind the wheel of his BMW.
Fifteen years later BMW is looking to return to that successful format with the release of a new series of videos called “The Escape” Owen will be returning as the mysterious “Driver” of the new episodes which will also feature fellow actors Vera Farmiga, Dakota Fanning, and Jon Bernthal.
Check out a short preview and a behind-the-scenes look at “The Escape” and look out for the release of the new episodes in this series once they are released.

BMW i Line Inspires Fashion
FELDER AND FELDER AND THE BMW i8
LONDON FASHION WEEK SEPT 2016
PHOTOGRAPHER NEALE HAYNES
The BMW brand made quite the statement when it released the vehicles in its i lineup. The all-electric BMW i3 and i8 have taken the brand to a whole new level in terms of automobile production and in the overall mission for increased stability. These vehicles have inspired people throughout the automotive field who are looking to take what BMW has done and create their own form of a sleek and stylish stability enhancement. Recently the BMWi3 provided inspiration on a whole new platform, fashion design. Fashion Designers Daniela and Annette Felder created a special show in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their fashion collaboration and they took inspiration from the BMW i for the creation of a special carbon fiber dress.
The two sisters run the London-based design company Felder Felder and they teamed up with BMW to create this sustainable anniversary collection by using only upcycled and sustainable fabrics in the materials for the clothing. The feature piece of this entire collection is the BMW i-inspired “Carbon Dress” that was created with carbon fiber materials from the brand’s electric vehicle program. The duo used carbon fiber materials in 97 percent of the dress giving it not only a sustainable quality but a striking appearance due to the metallic look and finish of the material.
“The carbon fabrics are amazing and unlike anything we’ve used before – we are honored to be given access to them before anyone else. The woven fiber allows us to do more with the designs and push the boundaries of sustainable fashion. It adds amazing structure and the frayed carbon looks so great as tassels. We can’t wait to show everyone the collection,” said Daniela and Annette Felder.
