ALICE & OLIVIA Spring 2013 Fashion video

Take a look at some pictures and a few behind the scenes stills from the Alice & Olivia fashion film I directed out in New York back in December.  It was shot over a day in their showrooms in New York and features models Ksenia Vasylchenko, Georgiana Sarev and Tali Lennox modelling Bendet’s Spring collection. The designer Stacey Bendet also appears in a brief cameo role. The film combines live-action and cut-out animation, a giant cut out heart and dozens of black telephones!!;)

Music is “Overdose” by indie pop trio Little Daylight.

To view the video see link below. Hope you enjoy it!

BANG // MCS London

So as a lot of you are already aware Im a massive fan of the Spaghetti Western and the cowboy! At RCA I made a short animated western working with still images from a 70s comic book, the Lone Wolf and at the time I watched a number of Spaghetti Westerns. So when I came across this brilliant video Las Bandidas directed by Mathew Wilkinson featuring models Cara Delevigne, Clara Paget and Suki Waterhouse as cowgirls in a spaghetti western inspired short playful sketch for scrunchie brand MCS London I was super super excited.  I absolutely love the intentionally obvious green screen and the sampled tracks, backgrounds and music! Its perfect!

Maison Martin Margiela X H&M

I finally made it along to an H&M store on tues eve to see the long awaited Maison Martin Margeila X H&M collaboration. My favourites were the accessories and footwear and was very tempted to get the knecklace… ;)

Love the shoe cut-outs on the top shelf.

♥ Lorna Simpson

I love these collages, ‘Untitled (Ebony and Jet), 2012′ by African-American artist, photographer and video artist Lorna Simpson. I came across them on my visit to Frieze London in October. Always interested by headwear and collage myself these immediately drew my attention. I absolutely love the pops of water colour washes and gradients alongside the photographs.

ASVOFF 5 in PARIS

Im back from Paris. It was great to see Papercut on the big screen at the Pompidou Centre!

Rossy de Palma gave a performance with musician Alexander Zekke on the opening night

There was a screening of William Klein’s Qui etes-vous Polly Maggoo?

Here are a couple of films from the festival below…

I especially enjoyed Hors D’Oeuvre by Monica Menez. Awarded – Best Art Direction. Her use of colour  and set design was amazing.

Also somewhat different but have a look at this video  Danny directed by Goran Grahovac (for the designer Tom Van Der Borght)

Music video with the band Kenji Minogue

Kenji Minogue performed in David Lynch’s Club Silencio  at the Afterparty. They were totally mad but brilliant.
