Bruce Weber’s Dogs and Children

Sunday night was movie night as Milan Fashion Week entered the home stretch.

After the Versus show, a caravan of editors and models descended on the Teatro Litta for a screening of Bruce Weber’s latest film project for Moncler. Called “Don’t Steal the Jacket,” the black-and-white movie starred an extensive cast of cherubic children, dogs and puffer coats, with typically beautiful visuals and a story line that was a little difficult to follow. At one point, there was a montage of marauding kids, elephants and dogs that was set to “Bless the Beasts and the Children” by the Carpenters. Careful, or that could become the theme song of Fashion Week.

After the film, several dozen guests spilled into a neighboring palazzo for dinner, which did not start until well after 10 p.m., despite the presence of much of the film’s adolescent talent. Long tables set along the perimeter of an arcade were spilling over with silver tins of popcorn, plates of sugar-coated marshmallows and mounds of rainbow-colored gumballs and candies. And there were lots of dog dishes set along the walls, though nary a dog was in sight.

“The film really was fantastic and beautiful,” said Erin O’Connor, who has recently revived her modeling career in addition to designing a range of clothes called She Died of Beauty, which consists mostly of T-shirts and bags that say, “She Died of Beauty,” “She Died of Kisses” or “She Died of Perfection.”

How sad for her. Yet Ms. O’Connor looked vivacious in an emerald Marios Schwab gown with thick leather buckle straps.

“I came for Bruce Weber, and he combined fashion with fun in one sentence,” she said. “I think he pulled it off with the 20 minutes he was given.”

Mr. Weber was far more modest, though he did note that the film involved possibly 35 actors and a crew of 20 for production. Asked how many people he thought might actually see the film, he wasn’t sure.

“You make these films and sometimes a lot of people see them, and sometimes a lot of people don’t,” he said. “I just make films all the time. I’m always making shorts and documentaries. I like the break from photography. It sort of helps me be a better photographer.”

He remembered one of his first film projects, the video for “Being Boring” by the Pet Shop Boys in 1990, which was a big hit on European music television channels but was not shown in the United States because it opens with a scene of a naked man emerging from a swimming pool to jump on a trampoline with a dog.

“That’s sort of like my life,” he said, referring to the song’s title, not the naked trampoline jumping. “Maybe it’s not to everybody else, but it is to me.”
