At the centre of the story is Brev, a nonchalant Londoner with a mysterious pair of trousers and an unexpectedly rich inner world. Across four short episodes, Brev’s universe unfolds through a playful yet meticulous blend of 2D and 3D animation, crafted by Guy Gooch alongside animator Akam Hussein. The hybrid approach creates a tactile, handmade feel.
With a number of guest appearances from surreal and endearing characters — including scouse aliens, Doreen the flowershop keeper, and a baby that hatches from a discarded pair of jeans — the world is whimsical, offbeat, and quietly emotional. Beneath the humour lies a subtle exploration of value, reuse, and transformation, echoing Samuels’ sustainable design ethos.
Joshua Samuels’ original garment was constructed from two pairs of unloved trousers, reimagined into a single statement piece.
