Here is the latest Desigual video featuring brand ambassador Adriana Lima:And here’s the Italian version:The new video also features Canadian model Winnie Harlow, who has a rare skin condition called vitiligo (click here to read my earlier post about her). Previously, a Desigual ad featured two women kissing. This one has a kiss by two men. And a talking donkey, who says “La Vida es chula.” (Translation from Spanish: Life is Cool!) We have a number of the items featured in the new video, including the Janet dress worn by Adriana Lima and the shirt (see below) worn by one of the dancing men in the video.

- The video at the top of this post features the Italian-made Isetta, which was the world’s first micro-car, unveiled in the early 1950s. It orginally used a single cylinder Iso motorcycle engne. BMW bought the rights to produce the car in 1955 and used a three-litre engine that got 94 miles per gallon. That last of the orginal designs were built in Spain in 1958

- The Isetta had its steering wheel and controls attached to the door on the front, which was the only entry into the vehicle. Isetta also made a pickup version for Rome’s ancient narrow streets, which were built for wagons and horses.
