EDITING FASHION

Olivier Alary/Rupert Angarita-Dodds/Craig Armstrong/Apurva Asrani/Michael Blackburn/Vladimir Boboshin/Nigel Buck/William Chang/Saulyus Chyamolonskas/ Egoli Editing Team/Mike Figgis/John Galliano/John Gosling/Nick Knight/ Sam McKnight/Charles Nartey Mezo/Sharmin Nordien/Greg Perler/Christopher Seguine/ Sam Sneade/Anna Span/Joanna Swan

An offshoot from our three-month MOVING FASHION project at the end of 2005, EDITING FASHION shifted the focus of SHOWstudio's ongoing exploration of fashion film from direction to the editing process and from established, guest artists to the SHOWstudio viewer base. For this, we offered a package of source material –including exclusive film footage shot by Nick Knight and a selection of possible soundtracks by guest artists- that could be downloaded and edited by SHOWstudio Viewers. Viewers were asked to make an edit from the material provided which lasted up to two minutes. By keeping the source material the same in all cases, the emphasis was kept on the individual editor’s approach and authorship. The finished films could then be uploaded onto SHOWstudio from mid-January 2006 and screened in the Viewers’ Cut gallery.

A second phase of this project saw a number of high-profile, internationally-based, professional editors from a range of different genres tackle the same footage to create a series of five-minute shorts in early 2006.

EYES OF THE BEHOLDER

Toyin

In collaboration with Replay, SHOWstudio has invited photographer and filmmaker Toyin to turn her signature, romantic lens on the Italian denimwear company's Autumn/Winter '08-09 collection. Though shot in Robert Adam's exquisite, 18th century London townhouse at 33 Portland Street, Toyin and stylist Stevie Westgarth gave themselves poetic license to shift the date forward to the 19th century - the wild west to be specific - where winsome girls swooned over bare-chested boys who cracked bullwhips and wore the bowler hats of frontiersmen. But this resultant film short is no Calamity Jane-style caper. The faded elegance of the Georgian backdrop, combined with the contemporary energy of both choreography and Replay's collection, creates a spellbinding visual feast. To an electrifying soundtrack, specially composed by the Doi, sit back and witness the extraordinary models' performances that are this filmmaker's hallmark.
