Sonoya Mizuno and an albino python star in today’s hypnotic short by photographer and director Can Evgin. Having honed her skills at the Royal Ballet School, and on shoots for Lacoste and Harper’s Bazaar, the Tokyo-born, London-based dancer is preparing herself for a starring role in Ex-Machina, the forthcoming sci-fi thriller, from 28 Days Later screenwriter Alex Garland. The subdued yet menacing accompanying soundtrack to today’s premiere, composed by Pandora's Jukebox (aka Yasmina Dexter), seemed to inspire the mood on set, and Mizuno found that translating her talents came instinctively. “In my mind I was quite a conservative woman with a strong internal fantasy, and the clothes really triggered it,” she says of her wardrobe of Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Saint Laurent that was picked by Garage magazine's Chloe Kerman. “I hardly showed flesh, the collars were high and the dresses were long which helped with the sense of control and class—which makes her python fantasy all the more twisted.”
