Shoot

Contextualising the Spring/Summer 2003 haute couture collections as photographed for W magazine, 'SHOOT' proves that couture is far more than just dresses. Treating the studio as a blank canvas upon which surreal fashion performances could be staged, this fashion film shows the influence and machinations of the world of big business these talismanic garments ultimately represent.
