Excalibur
IN COLLABORATION WITH FILMMAKERS AND LONGTIME FRIENDS, TEVA CHEEMA AND CAN KÖROĞLU, WE PRESENT EXCALIBUR. TRACING A JOURNEY FROM LONDON TO THE ENGLISH COAST, THIS SHORT FILM FEATURES A SELECTION FROM SPRING/SUMMER '25.
London is a place where eras collide—where the medieval stands beside the ultramodern, and myths feel only just out of reach. In our film, we wanted to mirror that overlap, weaving together the story of Excalibur with Rising Star Laundry’s timeless clothing—pieces made to last, both in form and feeling. It’s about the way we search for something magical in a place like this—and the desire to take a piece of that feeling home. —TEVA CHEEMA
