We Come / We Go

I was recently commissioned by The British Fashion Council to make a fashion film for Yoox.com. The premise of the film was to showcase the sustainable fashion section of the BFC called Estethica. I worked with the Estethica Curator's Flippo Ricci, Orsala De Castro and stylist Charty Durrant to devise a film that showed a selection of their designers in an interesting new way avoiding the cliches of green fashion. The film features model Audrey Marnay in a monochrome cardboard world. The score was composed by Peter Mackenzie, the set by Helen MacIntyre and cinematography by James Moriarty. The title is meant to reflect the cyclical nature of sustainable fashion.

The finished film is available to view at Somerset house during this London Fashion Week plus online on Yoox.com and The London Fashion Week websites.

My Villager's 'Ship of Promises' video is going to be BBC Radio 6's Video of the Week all of this week! I'll be chatting with Nemone about the making of the video at 3pm tomorrow. Conor the singer has just been nominated for the Mercury Music Award so they'll no doubt be talking to him about that too.

Work in Progress

Kenneth Anger shoots a fashion film

I am surprised but I shouldn't be really as all of his films are extremely textural. His 1949 film 'Puce Moment' is an early example of fashion film if there ever was one.

Counting the days

Twenty four days to go...
