Photographer and director Mark de Paola captures the atmosphere of Swinging London with an exclusive shooting within the Mr & Mrs Clark, Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell exhibition at the Sozzani Foundation in Milan and in the spaces of 10 Corso Como. The protagonist of the shoot is the model and actress Ema McKie, wearing original Ossie Clark/Celia Birtwell clothes. Precisely in this period Ema is shooting her first leading role in the feature film "A Stab At Heaven" directed by Mark de Paola himself. The film - co-written by McKie and de Paola - represents a journey through Ema's consciousness and memory as she returns home.
