Omega Forces of Nature SS19

Posted on by Show

SHOW is proud to present its recent collaboration with Omega on the brand’s SS19 ocean watch campaign, Forces of Nature.

Showcasing the best of Omega’s ocean-ready watches, Forces of Nature has an endless-summer aesthetic and features a range of Omega timepieces – from 1970s classics to the latest ceramic designs. The shoot imagery combines the brand’s signature ocean watch aesthetic with chic beach fashion and sporty swimwear looks, set against the natural beauty of a Balearic coastline.

The campaign, which was conceptualised, art directed and produced by SHOW, was shot on location at Cala Bassa beach, Ibiza, chosen for its sandy beaches, tree-lined cliffs and clear water pools. Photographer Adam Whitehead and stylist David Nolan collaborated with SHOW on the project to create the resulting campaign of lifestyle images, short films and social collateral.

SHOW regularly works with Omega on photographic and film projects, storytelling and other special projects.

The first ever Gieves & Hawkes No.1 newspaper is in stores now and will be published this weekend with The Sunday Times on 23 September.

The newspaper features original editorial from leading journalists on all aspects of the tailor and its latest collection. Josh Sims speaks to Gieves & Hawkes’ creative director John Harrison about the brand’s connection to the sea, Mathias le Fèvre explores the sharpest tailoring for the season, and Stephen Doig picks his favourite outer and casualwear for autumn escapes. Elsewhere, Mansel Fletcher follows the path of wool from farm to fashion, Tom Chamberlin dresses it up in eveningwear for the party season, Rob Ryan finds out the history of Gieves’ home at No.1 Savile Row, and Aleks Cvetkovic explains how bespoke inspires innovation.

AW18 is the third campaign shoot we have worked on with the tailor. We worked with photographer Adam Whitehead and stylist David Lamb to produce the shoot, which draws directly from the main themes of the collection. The shoot was split between Hive Beach, Dorset, where the naval and seafaring influences were captured in the raw natural beauty of the coast, and London’s Shoreditch where the modernist angles of the new Nobu Hotel perfectly complement the sharp tailoring of the new season.

The AW18 collection and No.1 newspaper are available in store now.
