Reiss x Royal Ballet

Ballet and fashion have long danced in parallel – both steeped in craft, discipline and beauty.

Reiss wanted to turn that admiration into something deeper: a true collaboration that captured the artistry of movement, the precision of tailoring and the emotional world of the dancer. Their first partnership with an arts institution – and one that had to honour the Royal Ballet’s legacy while feeling distinctly Reiss.

Our challenge was to craft a story that balanced performance and personality. A campaign that could live in both worlds: cinematic yet sincere, graceful yet grounded.

Written & Directed by Nick Tree, Pas de Deux is a celebration of collaboration – a film about two people bound by their craft.

Shot inside the incredible Royal Ballet & Opera House, the film follows Royal Ballet dancers Francisco Serrano and Marianna Tsembenhoi, capturing the precision, discipline and quiet poetry of their world.

A love letter to dance and the unspoken connection between movement and emotion. A choreography of light, emotion and detail. Merging Reiss’s modern elegance with the raw intensity of ballet.
