It's been two years since Prada tapped Wes Anderson to direct the Léa Seydoux-fronted Prada Candy campaign film, but the director's influence has clearly lingered. The Italian house's latest video for its Galleria bag, The Postman Dreams, channels his witty surrealism and comedy – courtesy of LA filmmaker and photographer Autumn de Wilde. 

De Wilde has created five short films, all revolving around the character of a postman who wouldn't look out of place in The Grand Budapest Hotel. In the first installment, the bored mailman snoozes on the job, caressing the imaginary Prada handbag of his dreams before getting a rude awakening.

“I loved the idea of our hero visiting so many different worlds every day and dreaming up fantastic lives for the people her encounters," De Wilde told Style.com. "I have long had a romance with the art of letter writing and collecting vintage stamps, so that and my fixation with uniforms made it all click.” 

Earlier this year, de Wilde appeared in front of Petra Collins' camera with her daughter Arrow in a film for COS, which shone a light on her career as a female music photographer dominating her hometown. 

Her love of Hollywood, as captured depicted in Collins’ short, has had an evident effect on her direction of Prada’s five shorts. "Prada loved my visual take on L.A, so bringing Italy to my hometown of Los Angeles was the idea from the very beginning. What I love about this city is what a bizarre melting pot of obsessions it is," she said.
