Last Updated Tuesday, 2 October, 2007
To present a collection about the dynamic between icons and their audience, fashion designer Hussein Chalayan is staging a live broadcast to create a film in collaboration with Nick Knight, Antony Hegarty and the global SHOWstudio audience.
On two yet-to-be-confirmed days scheduled for 26–28 September, we will be in the studio with Hussein Chalayan, shooting a film of his collection 'Readings': live on SHOWstudio, naturally! Joined in the studio by Antony Hegarty, it will be SHOWstudio's task to create a special soundtrack for the collection and film. This is where you, the SHOWstudio viewer come in...
We have asked Hussein Chalayan to provide a written 'treatment' that gives the creative rational for Readings, which Nick Knight has responded to and created a more literal brief for SHOWstudio viewers to follow. Read their BRIEF below and send us in your musical directions for Antony to respond to or act out. The resultant footage will be edited to create a film that will be screened to showcase the Readings collection .
