Fashion Films: Drawings on a director's chair

  Last year, a two-minute video of designer Richard Nicoll won bound and gagged by the models before driven into the desert and dumped there the first prize at Berlin Fashion Film Festival inaugural speech.

Shot in collaboration with Italian Vogue and directed by the artist-turned-director Justin Anderson was the short mysterious, cool and sexy. But more importantly, the hijackers were all dressed in the latest collection of the designer. It was a unique opportunity, clothing, shelter present limitations runs or billboards.

"Cinema is a trendy new way to deliver the unexpected, we can give Forgot the industry standard intense notes", read the introduction of Anderson. "This is a way to fuse the traditions or create inspirations. A look into the soul of a dress."

Fashion Films are a big deal these days, so it makes sense to celebrate a suitable event (the second edition of the festival will be held in July this year). And designers are beginning to recognize their force and effect. The advantage for them is booming, the London College of Fashion, now even offers a master's in fashion and film.

In recent years, the film is called viral fashion show in the most creative way to present a designer goods. It is a medium that has been developed by SHOWstudio, the award-winning, founded and directed by photographer Nick Knight, who has pushed the boundaries of fashion online site.

Ritter says, "The Internet, where most people now is the fashion information". "Emissions are broadcast live, people see editorials and interviews read online., If new photos not seen on the internet for the first time in the store in Italian Vogue. Yet the best way to work with fashion over the Internet moves . A moving film is much closer to the vision of the founders. "

Designer Henry Holland, whose most recent film was an MTV-style short model Eliza Cummings dance "the Buffalo Stance" by Neneh Cherry, agrees that the Internet is now a role for the marketing and sale of a label. "The Internet is no longer just a place to buy clothes discount. Now everything has gone online, you need to have great content for this platform. Movies and fashion are one of the best."

While only big brands can afford double page advertisements in magazines, compete in the Internet cottages with the Goliaths of the industry. "The designers wake up to the possibilities of what movies can do this," said Lisa Filippini, co-founder of the Berlin Fashion Film Festival. "By train it is so easy to market your label and spread., You can work with a small budget and whether it is a good idea to have almost the same chance to have the same number of people as a big label with a huge budget to achieve. Some of the best content comes not from major labels. "Turn right and you will quickly see your movie to go viral.

Director Tabitha Denholm said that designers recognize that an interesting concept lead to repeated games. "Ideas are the key. Want you to notice the video and then shared online, so you need something that people do not see," she said. "An I done for Markus Lupfer has right amount of attention, because I go to the scientific literature Sixties referred., but many photographers make films fashion and they see it as an allusion movement. There was a flood of boring movies with a girl with long hair looking sad in a floating dress on a trampoline or something. "In Indeed, with the films above an it girl under Polaroids were so commonplace they have become a genre of its own, before they recently parodied in a wonderfully funny campaign for Viva Vena! Actor Actress Lizzy Caplan, the film took all these pictures of fashion films and he ran with a blown voice ("Sometimes I think in French, listening to old records of the sixties") reacts people. and immediately. divided viewers not only have the chance to see the clothes, but it was a good way to stigmatize the small label.

Humor is a recurring feature in the movie mode, even if the rest of the marketing of the label itself can be taken very seriously. One of the most famous examples is the Lanvin Fall / Winter 2011 video had models Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmermann dancing to "I Know You Want Me" before it is connected at the end of the creative director of the house, Alber Elbaz. Pitbull "The fashion films work very well for my brand, because you can be sure really fun with them," said Holland. "Fashion is often very difficult, while the movies that you are a little more freely. I think that 'it is best if it more as a branding exercise rather than the specific" collection.

In fact, this is the seriousness of fashion in movies these days they secure some big name directors. Last year, Roman Polanski is called a therapy for Prada Starring Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley. Lena Dunham has done a typically eccentric, best friends, Rachel Antonoff.

But renowned directors are not necessarily the key. "There are many people who make movies of fashion at the moment, but there are a few people that are right in my opinion," says Knight. "But this surprise does me., If you look at the beginning of fashion photography at the beginning of the last decade, there were only a few people who do well for the first 15 years. It was not until 1950 that fashion photography in the way that we is now defined recognize. "

Being as a new medium, Ritter says that people are still working on how best to use it. "We need to work on the parameters. Some people thought that because this is a film you must have an account. I would say you do not, in the same way a large photo of Richard Avedon Twiggy jumping through a gray background looks great and does not have a narrative. many large companies do mini-Hollywood films with masses of money and produce what looks like classic movies. I do not think this is the best use. "

However, a label uses film to market their clothing, whether a highly stylized manner, with humor, fat or tell stories, it is clear that the future of cinema is fashion an interesting question.

"In a sense this is the most exciting thing that has happened in fashion, because it's a big change," says Knight. "In the same way that fashion photography has made the presentation mode at the beginning of the last decade, now photography is no longer the zeitgeist means. Movie mode."

Middle East and Africa markets that luxury brands

  Libya and Iraq could be coming to China and Brazil
Global hotspots of the luxury goods industry.

These new markets in the Middle East and Africa are important countries for growth in the coming years for

luxury brands, according to a study in Walpole Luxury Summit 2013 industry growth of Eastern unveiled

tomorrow.

Dr Florence Eid, chief economist at the Economic Research Arabia Monitor Group, predicts that Libya, Algeria

and Iraq look markets and said. "We see new customers for the Arab and African countries, the phenomenon of

rising oil prices and the liberalization of markets open means that we will see new depositors and donors. "

Some countries, including Nigeria, Algeria, Libya, Mozambique and Iraq are on the list of mega brands seeks

new growth she suggested.

Dr. Eid in his report entitled "Riding out the global slowdown: the elastic purchasing power in the Middle

East and North Africa," predicted that luxury brands are worried about a slowdown in China now turn to the

increase in Arab and African middle class.

She added: "In the past export revenues would have gone directly into Swiss bank accounts, but now invested

wealth in the region and is distributed - the creation of a new middle class.

"A glimmer of hope after the violence of the Arab Spring is that people now have higher expectations than

Lauren Laverne on Fashion: Shopping with a clear conscience

  "What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." Oscar Wilde's famous quote always comes back to me. I thought several times in the course of the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh. More than 1,120 bodies removed from the wreckage of the eight-storey building. For some Rana Plaza tragedy is a matter of crime, and in fact there were several arrests, including engineers who added illegally several floors shoddily for building and factory built accused the ordered employees who work on the morning of collapse after safety concerns were raised.

You can directly guilty, but it is dishonest to pretend that we are not connected to this tragedy. Government officials blamed the incessant roar of machinery for the collapse of the building. Who are we, if whirring needles? Can you be sure that you are unaware of the workers who entered the plant was today morning and was never sewn at home? Neither do I.

Column this week, then, is a plea for producers of fashion for the traceability of the supply chain and a reference to brands and services that make these things for the consumer. Frustrating at the upper end of the market such liability is easier to find, but there is no reason why the High Street should be freed offer similar guarantees. Lucy Siegle, as in this paper that the big brands to distance themselves from their factories where goods are produced as part of their business model. It helps to protect their profit margins. If consumer demand, they are responsible for large enough, they will.

The other half of the price-value-Wildean aphorism is less often mentioned, but it's worth considering, "and a sentimental ... This is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and not know that the market price for a single thing. "

Often the argument against buying Fair Trade (or introduce all kinds of guarantees for the working conditions of a garment was made) is one of the prizes. It may seem pretentious to ask for anyone more than they pay for it for a t-shirt, especially in times of financial difficulty. But as the wages of the employees represented in the clothing industry a small fraction of the cost of an article (about 1-3%), could significantly improve their situation, a slight increase in prices.

At present, however, if you be sure that the workers who suffer made your clothes do not want to invest in fair trade, is the only option. It may cost more, but the price of a garment is not just a label - there is more than one type of cost. How cheap is nothing if someone dies in order to keep the price low?

The fashion trends The ten men

  This winter, look at the latest fall 2013 collections for inspiration.

1 The costume

Gentlemen, you understand the importance of a good costume, but playing with a renewed concept dress up on the catwalks from Armani to Zegna suit is still fashion forward. Slimline colorful costumes, including cobalt (later) and prints, including all kinds of controls (ditto) are an update in a timely manner to traditional colors and finishes. However, these traditional colors and surfaces are timeless, only update with a focus on the new wide notch and peak lapels, and maybe add some gentleman or a turtleneck accessories (more on that later, too).

2 The grayscale

There are more than 50 shades of gray, and this season, they should be all embracing. Better yet, they carry both, in their different shades and if you dare, add copies and texture in this area, such as Viktor & Rolf and Bottega Veneta. Start with a simple costume, as shown in Givenchy and add a gray shirt and a tie or a turtleneck for a more relaxed look work. In sporting terms, mixing pants, a gray chunky knit scarf and coat in shades of gray. The overall effect is much more than the sum of its parts.

3 The Bomber

With its close cousin baseball jacket (who prefer pop zippers), infiltrated the suicide bombers both men and women wear this season, like Givenchy, Calvin Klein Collection, Roberto Cavalli, Emporio Armani and Hermes seen. Not as a substitute for the Blazers, they are simply no longer the weekend. This incarnation is much closer to the body and provides a clean silhouette. With manufacturing complex, including the latest hi-tech varieties, some frankly with glossy or iridescent sheen or mixtures of luxury fabrics such as leather and wool, the new bomber, it's the bomb.

4 The top layer

According to the study, the coat is the key element for the winter. Seen on almost every podium in January, including Burberry Prorsum, Jil Sander, Ermenegildo Zegna, Prada and Louis Vuitton, it offers both the perfect winter holiday cover-up and the ability to make a serious style statement. For the latter, you can bold (Tiger, anyone?) Or a prominent color (burgundy or mustard?) Appearance, but if it is something more versatile, which will last for several seasons, classic camel, black or gray (we have already mentioned already gray?) are ideal. This is a bullion coin - you can find high-quality fabrics such as wool and cashmere.

5 REVIEW

Do you want to check on this? Tartans, houndstooth, plaid and line controls are on everything from suits (Gucci, Louis Vuitton) and coats (Jil Sander), jumper (Bottega Veneta) and shirts (St. Lawrence). This season, look for giant checks as large as you feel comfortable, and for the very brave attempt to confront them - in this case, for patterns of similar magnitude. The great thing about the controls, in particular tiles is that they can look very classic and fashion forward, in terms of execution. It's a win-win situation dress.

6 THE turtleneck

Whether you prefer turtleneck, rolled or poloneck neck, this neck-warming Knitting is your go-to for dressing for winter comfort. Those who have a stocky, artisanal feel are the ultimate in comfortable, but more compact designs are perfect for layering clothing. Wear the style in the mantle over, as seen from Hermes, or a cloak, as Daks, put Topman Design textured knitwear in baggy clothes, while Alexander McQueen offered in bold two-tone versions.

7 The back of the CONTRAST

Sometimes it's the little things that so much to say. The back hand is one of those details that you put on top of the entire section. sharp lapels, wide lapels Shawl Lapel - reverse contrast in all the current styles. Louis Vuitton has offered bold brocade tuxedo lapel with contrast black scarf, Gucci has changed the top half of the collars on coats and Emporio Armani fit cuffs. If you really want to embrace the look, try matching a T-shirt or knit to your lapel.

8 ACCESSORIES The gentleman

This new way of dressing translated through accessories. The "Mandy" - or a dandy man - had something to do with this trend, following in the footsteps of the preppy guy. Open Bow ties and wallets the way here - especially those in bold, contrasting colors -. Well look surfaces, including leather gloves, classic glasses, slippers and suspenders Although this information has been observed in a number of shows, DSquared2 offered a great outlet, casual, casual bow tie and matching pocket squares with rolled up jeans, jackets and flannel.

9 THE BLUES

This winter, do not sing it, wear it. All shades of blue podiums infiltrated, at Emporio Armani Gucci cobalt in powder blue. Bold blue suit were discovered, while Calvin Klein Collection went up and down between midnight Balenciaga and Jil Sander. Agreement and clear coats offer a modern update of traditional navy shades. And those blue are sure to cheer you up, despite the name.

10th THE EXPLORER

If you are among your hero Edmund Hillary, this is a trend that should appeal. The look is casual explorer at its best, with large cable knitting, hiking shoes, hats and rugged outerwear, such as jackets and duffel coats. The trend can check infiltrate this look (think plaid pants to Bally or fur coats hooded Tom Ford) as a turtleneck. Hiking boots are a staple of urban mesh with costumes and Canali trousers and classic Calvin Klein Collection. These elements can not help you climb Everest, but they will put you on the height of fashion.

As a big fan of the work of Delhomme and as someone who calls New York my home, I find myself in awe of his drawings of the city and its inhabitants, make mental notes of what I visit next time I'm in the Big Apple AAPL +2.4%.

These four editions of the book tour will be purchased for U.S. $ 56 per piece. They also come in a special volume of the manifold. Each of the cities will come in a limited edition of 50 bars. They are leather-bound, signed and numbered by the artist and is a print ready for framing included. The price for this limited edition volume has not yet been announced.
