Rag & Bone designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright opted to eschew the usual runway show and instead showcase their fall 2015 collection with a short film. Why? Because "runway shows don't resonate with the regular guy," Wainwright told WWD

They wanted to make something memorable, so they tapped Mikhail Baryshnikov, 67, and Lil Buck, 26, to model and dance in the ad, directed by Georgie Greville.

While the pairing itself is attention-grabbing, what makes this choice masterful is the way the film is edited.
