Modeled for Vavoom
Charly Jordan, Julia Mosley and Nicholette Johnson modeled for Vavoom Vodka’s original campaign in Park City, Utah. All three are credited as models on Vavoom’s production call sheet for August 31, 2017. Their portraits also appear in Vavoom’s wall art collection.

These three works from the Park City cast show how differently the campaign translated to canvas. Select a portrait to see the full artwork.
Charly Jordan
A still from Charly’s commercial became a four-panel canvas. Her upward gaze fills the two panels on the right.
Julia Mosley
In Julia’s Be Beautiful Be You portrait, a dark railing cuts across four pale panels. Vavoom originally catalogued the work under her first name, Julia.
Nicholette Johnson
Vavoom’s art collection identifies Nicholette as a professional bachata dancer. Her seated portrait fills a single canvas in warm amber tones.
The Vavoom Vodka commercials
Director Isaac Halasima shot three 30-second commercials and combined them into one longer film for the web. He describes developing the concept with founder Luke Battiloro, drawing on Roman statuary, the shape of the bottle and the look of a Las Vegas club. Halasima also edited the films and created their visual effects.

The fall 2024 issue of VELVET Wine, Spirits & Cuisine put the sculptural bottle between two models on its cover. Inside, the Vavoom feature begins on page 38. Vavoom shared the cover in its Covers Highlight on September 24, 2024.

The sculpture behind the campaign
Before the cameras rolled, Luke Battiloro shaped the original bottle in clay. The upward-reaching figure became the glass silhouette that appears in the films and, years later, on the magazine cover.
