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.

CHRISTIAN DIOR J'ADORE

Charlize Theron/John Galliano/Nick Knight

SHOWstudio offered an exclusive preview of the 45 second cinema cut of the Christian Dior J'Adore campaign directed by Nick Knight and starring Charlize Theron.

COLLECTION HOMME A/W 2008-09

Yves Saint Laurent

To show his Autumn/Winter 2008 menswear collection for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, creative director Stefano Pilati broke the mould of the traditional catwalk show by presenting his collection via film. Originally displayed on a triptych of screens, the film plays across three frames of action and is here shown in its entirety. Romantic, ethereal and yet technologically complex, the film manages to evoke the twin dynamics of familiarity and formality and the tension of old and new constantly at play in Pilati’s offerings for men.
