Frankie B. Showcases Spring 2009 Collection in Original Short Film “Let’s Get Lost”

Starring Taryn Manning
Directed by Travis Schneider
Original music by Gilby Clarke

“Let’s Get Lost” communicates freedom, escape and independence, and captures the mystery and allure behind Frankie B.’s Spring 2009 collection.

About “Lets Get Lost”
Frankie B. founder, Daniella Clarke, first developed the idea for “Let’s Get Lost” when invited to participate in the January 2006 Designers issue for Vanity Fair magazine. When asked to choose someone who most reflects the Frankie B. personality, Clarke chose Manning as the ultimate representation of style, creativity, and laid back confidence – with a bit of an edge. Sharing a passion for music and all things vintage, the two came together to create an authentic look inside Frankie B.’s world.

Depicting a day in the life of a Frankie B. female via fragments of memories and random happenings throughout her day, the film’s star -- actress and musician, Taryn Manning -- portrays the complex characteristics of the brand’s muse: she is soft but strong, raw but sweet, beautiful but tough. She is naturally comfortable in her surroundings and projects a heartfelt charm and vivaciousness. Such attributes and the clothes she wears are brought to life through the film: from playing her guitar to taking a motorcycle ride, her clothes reflect what she is feeling at a given moment.

“Let’s Get Lost’ is a dynamic view inside our lifestyle and showcases the Spring collection beautifully. Like the collection, the film is reminiscent yet modern, relaxed yet edgy. Taryn shows a playful and carefree side, and also has a creative, determined, rebellious and independent side. The clothes we see her wearing throughout the film reflect her different points of view, and the music completes the overall vibe. We couldn’t have achieved this through still photographs – the film tells so much more!”
– Daniella Clarke

“I have been a Frankie B. fan since Daniella started the line ten years ago, so I was thrilled when she asked me to be a part of this film. I love how sexy the clothes are, and that they have a 70’s inspired design. The jeans fit my body really well and are extremely flattering. They’re so comfortable that I sometimes forget I’m wearing jeans!"
-- Taryn Manning

Sharing the name of the film’s first featured song, “Let’s Get Lost” highlights key pieces from the Spring ‘09 collection, including tie-dye jeans, a sexy suede vest and studded denim jacket. All styles will be available here and at Frankie B. retailers worldwide starting this January.
