The fruits of many, many hours of labour on set by Bernhard, Nick, Damien and our corps de ballet, Men In Tights perfectly showcases both Bernhard Willhelm’s cutting-edge fashion and Damien Jalet’s equally experimental choreography. Screened in January as part of the Autumn/Winter 2008 Menswear week in Paris and at New York’s Tribeca Grand on the 1 February, this unique creative collaboration can now be enjoyed in your very own home!

The latest designer electing to create a film to showcase his fashion collection, Bernhard Willhelm will be in the studio on Sunday 13th and Monday 14th January 2008 with Nick Knight, creating a movie to be previewed at the Menswear shows in Paris on the 20th of this month. Of course, we can't say too much about the collection, but Bernhard has supplied us with the working title "Men in Tights" so you can draw your own conclusions and tune in from 11:30 to get a load of the nylon and lycra action on set!
