Directed by Charlotte Rutherford, the music video for Marina's track, "Blue," unfolds within the nostalgic landscape of Dreamland, the UK's oldest amusement park. Beyond its melodic allure, the video presents a curated visual experience, showcasing Marina's distinctive fashion choices against the backdrop of an iconic location.
For the opening sequence of the music video, the songstress graced the screen in an exquisite ensemble that set the tone for the entire visual experience.
Marina effortlessly blended sophistication with a touch of whimsy as she adorned Australian brand The Fifth Label's Just For Now white wrap dress, featuring a tasteful tie waist that added an elegant dimension to her look.
Adding a bold and avant-garde touch to her ensemble, Marina accessorized with the Kitti clear acetate cat-eye sunglasses from another Aussie label, Quay.
Elevating her ensemble to unparalleled heights of sophistication, Marina added the final brushstroke to her look with the Carlita vintage metallic silver leather pumps from Liudmila's Fall/Winter 2015 "Peranatoriana" collection.
Buckle up as we accompany M on a thrilling ride through Dreamland, where her fashion journey takes a dazzling turn. In a spectacular display of glitz and glamour, Marina emerges on the scene donning a silver sequined jumpsuit crafted by the emerging designer label, Isolated Heroes.
The sleeveless design allows Marina the freedom to move with unrestrained confidence, capturing the essence of the music video's energetic rhythm. The silver sequins catch the vibrant lights of the amusement park, creating a mesmerizing play of reflections that mirrors the joy and exuberance of the surroundings.
In the mystical realm of Dreamland, Marina transforms into a fortune teller, and her ethereal look is accentuated by the exquisite jewelry designs from Pandora, the esteemed sponsor of the video. Pandora's creations, known for their timeless elegance, adorn Marina's hands and wrists with a curated selection of bracelets and rings, each piece telling a story of its own.
Among the dazzling array of jewelry, Ma chose to grace her fingers with the Majestic Feathers bypass ring, a design that adds a touch of enchantment to the fortune teller aesthetic.
As the crescendo of "Blue" builds to its peak, the Welsh-Greek singer takes center stage in a high-energy dancing sequence, adorned in a show-stopping custom creation by emerging designer Paula Knorr. The sleeveless jumpsuit, crafted from red and purple lamé, becomes a visual symphony of movement and color, amplifying the dynamism of the music and Marina's electrifying performance.
This bespoke piece is a testament to Paula's innovative design sensibilities, drawing inspiration from her MA graduate collection to create a garment that seamlessly fuses boldness and grace.
"I look out and I'm seeing all these different people from different parts of the world, different backgrounds, we all have different interests, different accents; but still, uh, we wouldn't be in this room together if we didn't have something in common and I think that I know what that is. I think that what we have in common is that when life gets really hard, or when we feel great amounts of pain or when you feel great amounts of joy; we turn to music and that's why we are all here in this place.
Speaking of great amounts of pain, from talking to you so much, I've never been so sure that it is treacherous and difficult to be happy in 2015. I think that navigating your life, navigating your self-esteem, your self-image, I think that's harder than it's ever been before. I think it's because every day, and trust me; I love the internet, okay? I love the good parts of the internet, but there's also this dark side of how we are all so, it's so available to us to see the highlight reel of someone else's life. All the pictures of when they look the most awesome, and when they're on some great trip, or they're having the best time ever at a party, and in your own life you're getting a behind-the-scenes, not just the highlight reel, you're seeing when you get out of bed in the morning and you're like, "Oh God, this is not a good hair day. This is not gonna be good today. How are we gonna fix this?" Or you feel like you don't know where you're supposed to go with your life, or you just went through the most horrible sense of rejection, because someone, you know, spread a rumor about you that wasn't true.
You're seeing all these angles of your own life, and then you compare it to other people's lives when you don't see what they're going through, you just see the good parts of what they're going through, am I right? And so, I say to you, when you start to compare yourselves to other people, please change the channel in your mind to something else, because I think that when it comes to how we see ourselves, other people are really mean, but we're really mean to ourselves and so it's easy to get confused, and when you do get confused, and you start feeling like you're not special, or you're not different, or you have nothing important to say.
We all feel like that sometimes, but what I want you to right now is, if there's one thing you remember from tonight, remember what I'm about to say. You need to look into the mirror in the morning and not tell yourself that you're not special, or you're not good enough, you're not pretty, or you're not awesome. I'm gonna tell you right now the things you actually are not. These are the things you really are not. You are not the opinion of somebody who doesn't know you. You are not damaged goods just because you made mistakes in your life. You are not going nowhere just because you haven't gotten where you want to go yet. Those are the things you actually are not.
Now, I want to tell you what you are. You are your own definition of beautiful and worthwhile, that's what you are. You are someone who is wiser because you made mistakes, not damaged, wiser. You are somebody who could be at this moment, right now, sitting there, there, there, there, you are going through whatever you're going through, whatever in your life that's stressing you out, or confusing you, or making you upset. But you got out of bed and put on an awesome outfit, and you came to a concert and now we're all having the best time ever on a Wednesday night.
You know it's not about perfection. It's about just getting on with things sometimes. Sometimes you just get credit for getting up and going on with things, and you don't have to do it perfectly. I think that we mistake our mistakes for damage, and we think other people judge us for them, but I want you to know the way that I see mistakes is, they don't make you damaged, they make you clean."
