MAC III
Nick Knight/Alexander McQueen/Michael Clark

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: SWASH
Swash, Stephen White
Highlight of London Fashion Week S/S '05 for many, Swash's sunny, poplin prints and cheeky cut-out trousers brought a breath of fresh air to the catwalk and what's more, a welcome sense of humour. This film, The Hoteliers, showcased the collection that put them on the London schedule: a previous, capsule collection of motorcycle capes and trousers designed for the nineteenth Festival International des Arts de la Mode à Hyères prize, which they won in May 2004. Situating their characteristic, virtuoso tailoring, classic fabrics and fun print designs (by illustrator Yuko Kondo) in a fantastical, English pastoral setting, Stephen White's film short exemplified the growing trend for designers to present their garments in a motion image and sound context.
The first in a full week of films related to the recent Spring/Summer '05 collections, The Hoteliers represented this innovative way of re-imagining editorial fashion image-making.

GUISER
Leigh Bowery
Guiser presented a rare selection of original and previously unpublished material that looked at, listened to and wrote about the legendary figure Leigh Bowery. The extraordinary personage of Leigh Bowery has had an enormous influence on visual culture - across fashion, art, music and performance - and SHOWstudio wanted to celebrate this legacy. Guiser brought together previously unseen film footage of Bowery being photographed by Nick Knight, with unreleased sound material from 'Minty' demo tapes as a soundtrack. Also featured was an essay by one of Leigh's contemporaries, Donald Urquhart -whose own artistic output and creativity mirrors the breadth of Bowery's output, as well as intertwining creatively with it. Urquhart's text gave personal accounts of some of the posthumous events that have commemorated Leigh Bowery.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: ANNE-SOFIE BACK
As visible shoulder pads, twisted denim dungarees and wet T-shirts that revealed red lace bras proceeded (in reverse order) down Ann-Sofie Back's S/S '05 catwalk, it was clear that this Swedish designer's antipathy to conventional representations of femininity was ongoing. As her peers made their money back on bankable, pretty accessories like dainty high heels and lady-like handbags, Ann-Sofie's broken sunglasses, slit bowler hats worn as necklaces and rope belts served to complicate already challenging visions of campus-girl imperfection.
How then, would she market that classic money-spinner, the fragrance? In a season that was peppered with scent adverts and launches-Dior's J'Adore, Chanel's No. 5, Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb-Ann-Sofie collaborated with photographer Benjamin Huseby to imagine the perfume campaign that could capture her brand's key values of subverted sophistication, awkwardness and hard-to-reach beauty. Were she ever to create a fragrance, that is.
The second in a week of films related to the recent Spring/Summer '05 collections, 'Sandra' unpacked this popular, pre-Christmas genre of fashion image-making with the quintessential self-awareness and wit that characterises an Ann-Sofie Back project.
