Behind the Scenes from a Fashion Shoot in the Cotswolds with Swixer
As the year draws to a close, we’re reflecting on the incredible projects we’ve been privileged to support around the globe. Among these standout moments was our collaboration with Loeffler Randall earlier this year, bringing their breathtaking SP24 Fashion Campaign to life in the heart of the Cotswolds. With its rolling hills, historic charm, and storybook scenery, this iconic region served as the perfect stage for Loeffler Randall’s shoot.
As the trusted fixer and production partner, Swixer ensured seamless coordination and logistics throughout the entire campaign. From scouting picture-perfect locations to managing the shoot days, we handled logistics and locations. Here’s how we made it happen.
The Locations
For this shoot, we secured locations that highlighted the charm and versatility of the Cotswolds. Some of the key spots included:
- Broadway – A scenic village often described as “the jewel of the Cotswolds,” with its quintessentially British charm.
- Tysoe Windmill – An iconic feature in the landscape that added a rustic, dreamy feel to the shoot.
- Castle Combe – Dubbed the “prettiest village in England,” this enchanting location was perfect for creating timeless imagery.
- Bibury – Renowned for its picturesque charm, this village provided a stunning and memorable backdrop for the shoot.
