Vetta Borne discusses, “40-40” is about the third date I had with this girl I had been crushing on for ages. By the third date, even though you both still don’t really know too much about each other, you know when there’s a vibe there. 40-40 is just laying that down on the table. I want you, and I know that you want me so, what are we waiting for?”
The visuals open with a close-up of Vetta Borne’s face, painted for the Gods, and sets the stage for a spectacle of high fashion and fierce choreography.

Commenting on the process, “I flew up to the Gold Coast to shoot with Jon (Jaen Collective). We got to set and got as creative as we could with what we had on location, which is one of my favourite ways of working. The choreography was choreographed by my best friend Miki Daely, somebody I completely adore. Make up by Michael Huxley (school of huxley) who were so amazing and were able to achieve the looks I wanted regardless of the heat (we shot in 30+ degrees!!)”
In exciting news, today the Melbourne artist has announced she has signed to tastemaker label [PIAS] Australia – “I’m so excited to be working alongside PIAS.
