fashion film
what is fashion fashion film.
the process.
the starting question
can fashion be defined at all, or does a definition only limit it?
the concept
echoing Oscar Wilde's "the picture of Dorian Gray", fashion seen as something with no borders, shaped by an ever-changing backdrop.
the process
written, shot with Pedro Santos and edited to Einaudi's "divenire", played live by pianist Leonor Mendes.
my role
direction, script and co-editing.
the result
a short fashion film, shown below.
There have been a lot of attempts to define the meaning of fashion; in this short video, we echo the words from Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ and offer an all-encompassing view of fashion that transcends the subject and explores its relationship with an ever-changing backdrop.
Just as we don’t need to define ourselves, we don’t need to define fashion either, otherwise we limit it. What would the fashion world be with boundaries?
