"The goal is to challenge the viewer's perception on these masculine stereotypes, deeply rooted in the local culture of the auteurs'."

XXX is a short fashion film made by Raya al-Souliman and Horatiu Sovaiala and it showcases Lucian Varvaroi‘s debut collection.

According to the creators, the film depicts “an exploration of post communist Eastern-European macho-man stereotypes wrapped in a pop futuristic aesthetic. The video is a loose interpretation of a fashion runway show, focusing on the atmosphere and background of the characters, thus giving an insight into the designer’s inspiration world.”
