LOEWE x Paula's Ibiza II | Close To Paradise (Full Film)

This year LOEWE returns to Ibiza to celebrate its second collaboration with Paula’s Ibiza with the short film Close to Paradise. Shot by UK director Dan Emmerson in the pine-rich countryside and pristine coves of Ibiza, the film is a colourful ode to the places and personalities that embody the island’s past, present, and future. Guided by Soulwax and Michel Gaubert’s feel-good summer melody, which includes four local characters reminiscing about wild Ibiza nights in the sixties, seventies, and eighties, the film brings the song to life with a vibrant cast of cameos and the playful prints of the brand’s latest Paula’s collection. The patchwork of unique perspectives includes artist Antonio Villanueva, Paula’s founder and designer Armin Heinneman, the inexhaustible Italian go-go dancer Anna Maria ‘Noche y Día’, consummate PR queen Rossetta Montenegro, as well as the ever-enigmatic Tanit – known affectionately as the ‘last hippy of Ibiza.’ Joined by long-time LOEWE friends Bryan Boy, Gala González and Blanca Miro, as well as a fresh-faced cast representing Ibiza’s youthful essence, the film is an elegy to the island’s cyclical, storied charm. Music by Soulwax
