BILLIE JEAN

Kate Moss/Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin

Intimate, spontaneous, low-tech and informal. These are not words one might associate with the work of legendary photographic duo van Lamsweerde & Matadin. Not only did this film short reveal the more lighthearted aspects of their shoots, however, as Kate Moss re-enacts Michael Jackson's classic dance routine, it demonstrated the photographers' working process as van Lamsweerde audibly encourages Moss to strike the playful poses for which this partnership has become known.

CANNES 2006

Mike Figgis, Nick Knight

Viewing film festivals as ‘highly suspect at the best of times’ Mike Figgis constructed an elaborate rouse to survive Cannes 2006. Acting as a (rather famous) ‘beach portraitist’, he set up a make-shift studio in his hotel bedroom and a gallery at the back of his host nightclub and spent the week photographing and exhibiting prints of the various directors, actresses, producers and writers attending the festival. In the gallery, filmed interview and essay below, Figgis shared with SHOWstudio his resultant images, his thoughts on the festival and the history of how photography has influenced his image career.

DRESS ME UP, DRESS ME DOWN

Ann-Sofie Back, Jeffrey Deitch, Jonathan De Villiers, Andrea Dworkin, Philippe Garner, Paul Hetherington, Jonathan Kaye, Richard Kern, Nick Knight, Penny Martin, Ross Phillips, Peter Saville, Liberty Ross, Christabel Stewart, Julie Verhoeven

Liberty Ross featured in a live, interactive photo shoot that was broadcast on SHOWstudio on June 28, 29 & 30 2005. Inspired by the live, pornographic video chats widely available on the web, the model was the focus of a free ‘feature show’ for which there was also a live video feed. Effectively, it acted as SHOWstudio’s interactive ‘collections story’ for the Autumn/Winter ’05-6 season.

FASH-OFF

Gareth Pugh, Eugene Souleiman, Alex Box

Fêted for his commitment to creating provocative spectacles over mundane, workaday clothes, controversial young designer Gareth Pugh used the SHOWstudio live platform to stage a series of performances to mark Couture Week, the first week of July 2006. Each representing his attitude towards the different aspects of his whirlwind fashion career thus far, the afternoon broadcasts focused on themes of boredom and repetition, artifice and multiple personae, high-octane glamour and the falsity of easily dealt acclaim. Of course, no Gareth Pugh project would be complete without the attendant, out-of-control party, which he he threw to open the series.

The printed page has determined the way fashion looks since women's magazines were first introduced. For over three centuries garments have appeared as if frozen still. Nick Knight's key motivation for founding SHOWstudio was to investigate the representation of clothing through sound and motion; perhaps the last great challenge in fashion image making.'Moving Fashion' aimed to exploit this exciting new opportunity through an in-depth study of fashion film.

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.

The third installment to a week of films relating to the Spring/Summer '05 season, this decorative film short by Shona Heath backgrounded Emma Cook's catwalk show and revealed the collection's source aesthetic as well as referencing the pool of innovative image-makers that have surrounded this progressive designer's work.
