It’s no surprise that we’ve been tickled pink by the Prada Candy shorts since the first episode on Tuesday – the sugary-sweet visuals and Lea Seydoux’s perfect fringe (seriously, it’s a pretty perfect fringe) have been brightening up one of the dullest weeks of the year.

So luckily, just as the blessed relief of the four-day weekend arrives, Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola gift us with the final episode, which proves that you can have your two handsome love rivals, your frankly adorable Prada outfit and your cake all at once. Who says women can’t have it all?

Between this and the Miu Miu Women’s Tales series, it seems there’s a bit of a renaissance in the love affair between fashion brands and filmmakers. Nowadays, you’ve got to bring someone to the table besides your standard issue close-up of a perfume bottle. So get commissioning, fashion folk! There’s a whole world of great fashion film just waiting to be made.

You can get up to speed with the first episode of the series here and the second episode here.

Lea Seydoux’s Parisian adventure continues with the second episode of Prada’s Candy L’Eau series. Why can’t we have two handsome Frenchmen fighting for our attention, too? (Their hair needs a good brushing, but we’re willing to overlook that in the name of romance.) The installment is part of a three-part series that promotes Prada’s new fragrance.

Head here to watch the first installment and find out more about the film project.

Not content with winning our hearts in the cinema, Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola have turned to the world of fashion. The duo was handpicked by Miuccia Prada to create a series of super-short films to promote the label’s new Candy L’Eau parfum, and the result is classic Anderson: irreverent and dryly witty, with every aesthetic detail – down to the tiny expresso saucers – imbued with the filmmaker’s typical charm. According to Miuccia, the films “encompasses Candy as the most sparkling and unexpected character”.

Inspired by Jules et Jim and other classic French new wave films, Lea Seydoux plays Candy, a girl caught in a romantic tussle between two boys called Julius and Jim – except she’s too busy stuffing her face with popcorn and acting adorable to even notice. Parfait, non?
