TODAY: A New Look: Fashion in Film Pt. 1
**Portable launches its Portable Fashion Festival, as part of the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival!
Portable Fashion Festival is a program of fashion, innovation and creativity that will change each day, bringing you an exciting and vibrant variety of fashion films from all around the globe!**
From the most exciting designer/director collaborations and innovations in cutting-edge fashion advertising, to beautifully abstract and experimental fashion animation, or showcasing the aesthetically and aurally glorious marriage between music and fashion, as well as telling the story of a Queensland man who left his farm to pioneer fashion PR and introduce Christian Dior to his successor Yves Saint Laurent, the Portable Fashion Festival is sharing with you the cream of the crop in fashion film.
Today’s session includes the following:
Halston A/W 2009-10
Dir. Nez (Colonel Blimp)
A mesmerising trip down a city street at night, watching Dree Hemingway in rather glorious slow motion. This video is all flowing dresses, noir-ish scenery and graceful leaps. Rather like a lovely dream.
Way Too Blue
Dir. Pelican Video
The Berlin brand c.neeon is known for sampling and cutting up images and transforming them into abstract prints. Cutting up “like i love you” as well as a dance choreography performed on this track, seemed the perfect expression to represent their AW05/06 collection, a teenage dance group from East Germany, provide the moves.
Soma Holiday (Basso & Brooke’s backstage SS08 ‘Brave New World’)
Dir. Chloe De Carvalho
Soma Holiday is an experimental short film, featuring backstage footage of Basso & Brooke’s SS08 Collection. If you’re after a conventional “behind the scenes” documentary however, this is the wrong film for you; Soma Holiday is more abstract narration than pretty poses.
Shadow
Dir. Noam Griegst
A fashion film by Noam Griegst with designer Louis Vuitton. Featuring music by Trentemoller.
Boojie Girl
Dir. Camille Vivier & Sanghon Kim
A moonstruck character is blinded by his own radiance. He fuses into the sun and becomes an abstraction of himself, a glimmer, a calm and muted sound, like one might hear by the sea.
Castor & Pollux
Dir. Ben Brand
A Godard-ian short film made for Benah about the absurdity of love, complete with impromptu dancing, a beautiful man and woman, and long silences. The French, they do it so well!
Empire
Dir. Billy Rood
Promotional video for Liz Betzen/Agency Galatea by Chicago based photographer and film director Billy Rood. Styling by Jenna Burkett. Beautiful. *
Check back tomorrow for the next installment of the Portable Fashion Festival!*
