Nothing says Canadiana like chopping wood, gutting fish, plaid jackets and a tutu. These new spots for Canadian jacket brand Smythe, by Toronto-based Open, blend high fashion and functionality. In the first video, a model melodramatically chops up some food, flashing her four inch heels (wouldn’t they sink in the dirt?), tutu and plaid jacket, while the second video features a model sensually gutting fish. Our only real niggle about these vids (squeamishness aside) is isn’t it a bit dangerous to wield an axe in the dark?
