SCORE
> Project Description
Last Updated Thursday 15th February
SHOWstudio was invited to create an event to mark Philip Treacy's debut, A/W '06, collection in collaboration with British sports brand UMBRO. Drawing on the historic, 1880s images of Eadweard Muybridge, Nick Knight and stylist Judy Blame amassed a colourful cast of dancers, gymnasts, Premiership footballers and iconic fashion models on 2 February 2006 to stage a spectacular exploration of Treacy's 'luxury sportswear' concept. Shot using Muybridge's signature multiple camera approach, the footage captured on set has been edited into this short film representing Knight's surreal exploration of sport and fashion. A version of the film is also being screened as part of a grand sound and motion installation staged on the night of 16 February during London Fashion Week to mark the collection's unveiling.
