There’s a musical motif that underpins the whole narrative of Netflix’s hit show La Casa De Papel, ‘Bella Ciao’. It’s a 19th century Italian protest folk song that became an anthem of the anti-fascist resistance in italy during WWII. In the show the song sums op the motivation of El Profesor; Resistance.

We brought this feeling of resistance to life again with Becky G with a healthy dose of celebration to mark the fifth and final season of the series.

Starfish is beaming with pride to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Harry’s on their annual Stride With Pride campaign. Starfish celebrated the stories and journeys of artists, activists and leaders within the LGBTQIA+ community in the US and abroad, through a series of interview videos and animations highlighting the places that shaped their Pride journeys and stories. 

Our Sibling agency, Bankrobber, put together a remix of this psychedelic soul classic that, 50 years later, eerily reflects both the growing unrest and the painful uncertainty of our times. We worked closely with Bankrobber and our team of creatives to put together this visual presentation of our times and the time of the original song’s release. Round and around and around we go.

In the era of fast fashion, Industry Standard sticks to a simple recipe of quality fabrics, flattering fits, and fair prices. The aspirational American-made brand needed assets that made their clothes look as light and comfy as they feel. 

Starfish devised a clean, no-frills creative direction for the shoot, setting Industry Standard’s classic cuts against stark, brutalist modern backgrounds. The result is a suite of shots that make the clothes sing and capture that feeling of putting on your favorite jeans.

The Glenlivet is one of the oldest scotch brands out there, but even they were losing ground to the booming bourbon (scotch’s more accessible, mixable cousin). 

Starfish set out to help them recapture the interest of the craft brew crowd through a modern lifestyle shoot and appetizing cocktail shots captured with a custom lighting style capable of showing off the storied scotch’s true colors.
