DWD created an amazing interactive experience for the Paramount Vantage film The Duchess. The film chronicles 19th century Duchess of Devonshire, Georgiana Spencer. Georgiana was a distant relative of Princess Diana, with a defiant attitude toward love, fashion and politics that would shock English society and charm the masses.

Enter the site with a stunning intro that takes users into the world of the Duchess, circa 1870. Content panels slide open and shut to reveal historical vignettes, film clips, background information, and gorgeous photography. The centerpiece of this site, however, is the 3D virtual reality costume experience. Users can rotate, zoom and pan on a series of costumes from the film. Our inspiration for this fashionable site? Gucci!
