ters making desperate attempts in a constant
life-or-death battle, Karena intended for every
frame to capture the intense emotions driv-

carrying. The result is a dynamic, emotionally
charged episode that starts at a frenetic pace,
and does not let up.

was to maintain what made the original so iconic
while also reflecting the recent rapid changes in
society. This reinvention of Gossip Girl keeps the

sentation like never before. A show which
centres around a group of strippers in Missis-
sippi, Karena and the showrunner wanted to
subvert the narrative of objectification and
exploitation that has always surrounded this
subject. Central to doing this was capturing
these characters through the lens of the female
gaze, and rooting the storytelling in the experi-

erment, and an exploration of how the meaning of
empowerment can shift from person to person. For
each of the 16 women in the video, Karena creates
a unique world for them to play within; to rule and
reign over. Collaborating closely with them in the
creative process, Karena made sure to speak
specifically to what makes each of them feel power-
ful, using a futuristic aesthetic to drive the narrative
that the future is female, and the future is now.

together as people. Travelling to Marrakesh,
Cape Town, Kiev, and LA, Karena’s vision
was to highlight the beauty and artistry of
the day-to-day, using these diverse places
to paint a picture of the shared human expe-
rience. By capturing the universality of our
habits, our routines, and our intuitions, we
see an image of humanity, of love, and of our
shared state of mind.
