Earlier this year, Pigalle's Stéphane Ashpool released a video lookbook for his Spring/Summer 2016 collection. Instead of casting models for the short film, his latest work for the brand was showcased by his youth basketball team.
Now, he's sharing a new film that documents one year in the life of the Parisian basketball team he coaches. He took his team on a trip to the Philippines earlier this year and began filming Ensemble.
Ashpool has been vocal about wanting to improve the lives of kids in Pigalle, the city that inspired the name of his brand. In a recent interview with i-D Ashpool shares that his real dream is to make a difference and that he couldn't care less about being a fashion designer.
"I think it is important to do good, to have a positive impact around you, whenever you can," he told the magazine. "The love I get from my neighborhood and the people around me has allowed me to move forward so far. And it makes me want to go even further."
Earlier this year he teamed up with Nike and LeBron James to build a basketball court, to help keep kids out of trouble and says he hopes to build a school in the neighborhood.
