Japanese cranes stand in as elegant reindeer replacements in this warm and stylish animated Christmas campaign by Parallel Studio based on illustrations by Vincent Mahé for the French luxury fashion brand Kenzo.

Director Yann Pineill at Parallel Studio in Paris: “In an enchanted factory, the Kenzo perfumes are prepared to be offered around the world. The cranes are traditionally animated frame-by-frame, and we travel with them from Japan to Paris.”
