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.

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.
