Watch. Listen. D∆WN Unveils ‘Wake Up (A Fashion Film).’

Dawn Richard

Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Dawn Richard takes on a role as phoenix in “Wake Up,” a symbol of her rebirth as a musician and artist.

“With this era, I want to highlight the marriage of fashion, tech and sound,” D∆WN says. “‘Wake Up’ is a fashion film inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and the Faun and the Phoenix narrate this whimsical dream that you don’t want to wake up from.”

The visuals were directed by Sasha Samsonova and D∆WN herself.
