All Access: Behind the Scenes of the Aeropostale 2025 Back to School Shoot 🎒🔥

We took over Berkeley, California for the Aeropostale Back to School 2025 campaign and it was everything! 🙌 Hosted by the legendary Berkeley High School — the same iconic campus that served as a filming location for the beloved 2006 film Akeelah and the Bee, starring Keke Palmer, Angela Bassett, and Laurence Fishburne — the energy and history of this place was absolutely palpable. And let's not forget, Berkeley High has produced some seriously iconic alumni over the years, including Andy Samberg (SNL, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), supermodel-turned-actress Rebecca Romijn, and sci-fi literary legend Ursula K. Le Guin — talk about a school with range! ✨

Our incredible crew matched that legendary energy, bringing the passion, the creativity, and the good vibes from the very first shot to the very last. 📸 We went behind the scenes, captured real moments, and walked away with some seriously amazing content — the BTS alone is going to blow your mind! Stay tuned, because this one is going to be very special. 🔥

Iconic Building hosting over 1000 students.
