Calvin Klein‘s creative director, Raf Simons, teamed up with indie rock band The xx on a new music video for their song “I Dare You”. The video boasts a star-studded cast consisting of Millie Bobby Brown, Paris Jackson, Moonlight‘s Ashton Sanders, and models Lulu and Ernesto Cervantes.

The video, shot by British fashion photographer Alasdair McLellan (who’s also shot two other projects for The xx), follows the group of teens as they cut class for the day and go on an adventure—while dressed in Calvin Klein’s autumn/winter 2017 collection.
These are familiar faces for Simons, who took the helm at CK last year. He’s previously featured Brown in Calvin Klein By Appointment ads, the cast of Moonlight in a Calvin Klein Underwear campaign, and Lulu and Cervantes on the catwalk.
In addition to the wardrobe and the casting, Simons also lent his creative genius to the “architectural and atmospheric element,” according to a release, which is obvious in the video’s aesthetically pleasing locations, like Lloyd Wright’s Sowden house and John Lautner’s Rainbow House.
“We are so happy to share our new video for ‘I Dare You’. Our love letter to Los Angeles, a city close to our hearts where we wrote and recorded parts of our album I See You,” The xx said in a statement. The trio makes a stylish appearance in the video too.
