VANS x CORTIS AUTHENTIC COLLECTION

CREATIVE DIRECTION ART DIRECTIONFILM PRODUCTIONStills productionPost production

Overview

This treatment outlines our film direction for the Vans Authentic campaign, celebrating the collection through the youthful spirit of CORTIS. Set within the familiar backdrop of a neighborhood laundromat, an ordinary moment becomes an unexpected playground where friendship, spontaneity, and self-expression naturally unfold. Rooted in the spirit of Worn Loud, the film positions the Authentic as the quiet icon carried by a generation creating culture in their own way.

A quiet icon carried by loud lives—where CORTIS transforms an everyday laundromat into a celebration of friendship, creativity, and self-expression.

Opportunity

In order to highlight the core tenet of the campaign, we developed a creative storyline that captures the authentic chemistry between CORTIS's five members. From creative idea to execution, the campaign is a celebration of the collection not as the center of attention, but as the effortless companion to the creativity and individuality that continue to shape youth culture.

Result

A playful, character-driven film that follows CORTIS through a series of candid interactions inside a laundromat, transforming an everyday space into a stage for creativity and self-expression. Through dynamic direction, natural performances, and spontaneous moments, the collection becomes seamlessly woven into the energy, personality, and friendship that define Worn Loud.
