Ostermann provided art direction for Natural Velvet's "It's All Mine" single off their most recent record Mirror To Make You. It premiered in May 2017 on Impose Magazine.
Drawing inspiration from Jane Russell’s classic camp performance of “Ain’t There Anyone Here For Love” from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Faye Dunaway’s performance of Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Mae West, Natural Velvet spins up a humorous, visually-lush music video about femme power. Replete with imagery of a variety of men exercising together by a pool, sequins and other camp diva aesthetics, a vanity, and a bathtub full of glitter, the video sparkles with camp humor, pop culture references, and cheeky sexuality.
Lyrically, the song aims to “take back” the negative associations with bad girls—and instead recognizes the dominance of this antagonistic characterization; tongue-in-cheek, the video celebrates the bad girls who wore the best outfits, and who proved to be undefeated chaotic evil in the pretty protagonists plotlines.
