SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: RICHARD NICOLL
Jason Evans, Richard Nicoll
Shown in its second season as part of the hit showcase Fashion East, Richard Nicholl teamed up with photographer Jason Evans to create this sequence of intimate portrait images to demonstrate Nicholl's distinctive way of draping and twisting fabric. Intercut with moments of pure motion fun from Evans, the piece was the seventh in a series of very different approaches to fashion editorial using film, screened in relation to London Fashion Week S/S '05.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: JENS LAUGESEN
Jens Laugesen, Alistair McKimm
The title of Jen's Laugesen's Spring/Summer '05 collection (OUTSIZE 02: CMYK) gave some preparation for the uncharacteristic surprise of colour concluding the Danish designer's predominantly monochrome show. Whereas Laugesen's own design philosophy involves creating different, generic versions from the same aesthetic whole, filmmaker Jean-François Carly adopted a more narrative approach to recording the construction and execution of the catwalk show.
The only of Shows Film Week's shorts to venture backstage, the fourth in our series took a 'behind-the-scenes' look at the production of the fashion show itself.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: HAMISH MORROW
Warren Du Preez & Nick Thornton Jones, Hamish Morrow, UVA
Less interested in 'next season' than in a genuine future of fashion, Hamish Morrow took a couple of collections off from showing on the catwalk in order to consolidate his research into technological glamour and functional luxury. Having chosen to represent this exploration in motion image, he
collaborated instead with Nick Thornton-Jones, Warren Du Preez and United Visual Artists on this film, 'Fashion in Zero Gravity', about the effect of gravitational pull on fashion garments and image.The fifth in a week of fashion films relating to London Fashion Week '05, it was originally presented in the context of an exhibition project staged at Belsay Hall in Northumberland May - September 2004.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: KATARZYNA SZCZOTARSKA
Kataryna Szczotarska, Dirk Seiden Schwan
Dirk Seiden Schwan's short film for the Russian fashion designer Katarzyna Szczotarska was a refreshing and endearing portrayal of a young woman's exuberant, emotional response to the fashion she is wearing.
An exclusive edit from a longer original, 'Appoline' was the sixth fashion film in a series drawn from London Fashion Week, S/S '05 season.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: EMMA COOK
Emma Cook, Shona Heath
Making a welcome return to the London schedule after a season's hiatus, Emma Cook delighted audiences with a highly-feminine, though directional and extremely wearable, collection that showcased expert draping gathered up by Art Nouveau detailing and accessories.
The third installment to a week of films relating to the Spring/Summer '05 season, this decorative film short by Shona Heath backgrounded Emma Cook's catwalk show and revealed the collection's source aesthetic as well as referencing the pool of innovative image-makers that have surrounded this progressive designer's work.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: ANNE-SOFIE BACK
As visible shoulder pads, twisted denim dungarees and wet T-shirts that revealed red lace bras proceeded (in reverse order) down Ann-Sofie Back's S/S '05 catwalk, it was clear that this Swedish designer's antipathy to conventional representations of femininity was ongoing. As her peers made their money back on bankable, pretty accessories like dainty high heels and lady-like handbags, Ann-Sofie's broken sunglasses, slit bowler hats worn as necklaces and rope belts served to complicate already challenging visions of campus-girl imperfection.
How then, would she market that classic money-spinner, the fragrance? In a season that was peppered with scent adverts and launches-Dior's J'Adore, Chanel's No. 5, Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb-Ann-Sofie collaborated with photographer Benjamin Huseby to imagine the perfume campaign that could capture her brand's key values of subverted sophistication, awkwardness and hard-to-reach beauty. Were she ever to create a fragrance, that is.
The second in a week of films related to the recent Spring/Summer '05 collections, 'Sandra' unpacked this popular, pre-Christmas genre of fashion image-making with the quintessential self-awareness and wit that characterises an Ann-Sofie Back project.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: SWASH
Swash, Stephen White
Highlight of London Fashion Week S/S '05 for many, Swash's sunny, poplin prints and cheeky cut-out trousers brought a breath of fresh air to the catwalk and what's more, a welcome sense of humour. This film, The Hoteliers, showcased the collection that put them on the London schedule: a previous, capsule collection of motorcycle capes and trousers designed for the nineteenth Festival International des Arts de la Mode à Hyères prize, which they won in May 2004. Situating their characteristic, virtuoso tailoring, classic fabrics and fun print designs (by illustrator Yuko Kondo) in a fantastical, English pastoral setting, Stephen White's film short exemplified the growing trend for designers to present their garments in a motion image and sound context.
The first in a full week of films related to the recent Spring/Summer '05 collections, The Hoteliers represented this innovative way of re-imagining editorial fashion image-making.

GUISER
Leigh Bowery
Guiser presented a rare selection of original and previously unpublished material that looked at, listened to and wrote about the legendary figure Leigh Bowery. The extraordinary personage of Leigh Bowery has had an enormous influence on visual culture - across fashion, art, music and performance - and SHOWstudio wanted to celebrate this legacy. Guiser brought together previously unseen film footage of Bowery being photographed by Nick Knight, with unreleased sound material from 'Minty' demo tapes as a soundtrack. Also featured was an essay by one of Leigh's contemporaries, Donald Urquhart -whose own artistic output and creativity mirrors the breadth of Bowery's output, as well as intertwining creatively with it. Urquhart's text gave personal accounts of some of the posthumous events that have commemorated Leigh Bowery.
