Mise-en-Scene, directed by Alexander Haessner
Before he set out to create some of the most evocative fashion films in recent years, German-born, Brooklyn-based Alexander Haessner explored many different avenues of artistic expression. From fine art and portrait photography, to shooting films on a high-speed camera, Haessner’s quest to tell stories eventually led him to the emerging fashion film genre, where he’s carved a niche as an emerging talent whose narratives take precedent over the exhibition of clothes.
His new film, titled Mise-en-Scene, sees Salt star Olya Zueva star as a model who steps onto an ordinary photoshoot, and begins to falter as her internal reality threatens to overtake the external. Mise-en-Scene was conceived and produced exclusively for Portable’s Fashion on Film Party, presented by Russian Standard Vodka.

Having clothes that offer comfort and security when dancing is vital and is an extremely important aspect of ballet clothes and shoes for children. Parents need to be sure they are buying the right product. Ballet shoes are usually tightly wound and need to be so – to ensure that there is support the ankle and soles of the feet when dance moves are performed. There are many twists and leaps involved in ballet so the shoes need to be able to put up with a lot of abuse and wear and tear when they are used regularly.
