Zara Kids turns back to school into a celebration of movement
The Caviar-represented directing duo D+Y bring their distinctive blend of choreography, fashion and visual storytelling to the joyful new film, Back To School.
)
Directing duo D+Y, David Vu and Yasmin Hero, bring movement, personality and effortless youthful energy to a new 60-second film for Zara Kids.
Set to a pulsating track composed by Black Cat White Cat, produced by Eman Reiff, the film brings Zara’s childrenswear collection to life through an expressive performance choreographed by Vu and featuring dancers from DONTSTOP DANCE.
Rather than striving for overly polished uniformity, D+Y capture the freedom and individuality of the young performers. The choreography feels loose, instinctive and full of character, allowing each dancer’s personality to emerge while the group moves together as a collective.
The result reflects the creative language that has come to define D+Y’s work: a natural meeting point between dance, fashion and cinematic storytelling. Their understanding of movement goes beyond the choreography itself, shaping the film’s rhythm, composition and visual flow.

D+Y said: “Dance is never simply an added element for us; it is a way of telling a story and revealing personality. With Back To School, we wanted the movement to feel joyful, natural and individual, giving each of the young performers space to bring something of themselves to the film.
“The energy they brought was incredible. There is something very honest and infectious about the way children move when they feel free to express themselves, and we wanted the film to hold onto that feeling.”
The film further establishes D+Y’s shared directorial voice, combining Vu’s technical understanding of dance and choreography with Hero’s eye for fashion, visual composition and editorial storytelling.
Having grown up in Oslo and built an international following through their dance films, photography and streetwear-inspired content, D+Y formally launched as a directing duo with Caviar earlier this year. Together, they are developing a body of work spanning commercials, music videos and original films, united by their instinctive use of rhythm, performance and movement.
