Coinciding with the opening of Maison Martin Margiela's new Bruton Street boutique today, we felt the time was apt for the release our latest foray into fashion film, Make Up Your Mind. Focused on just one of the many archive-inspired highlights of Margiela's Spring/Summer 2009 'Retrospective' collection, Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben's film features the house's peroxide platinum "Wig-Coat" in anarchic animation. Dancing a postmodern pas de deux, our two dancers - one naked and one swathed in Margiela's outlandish creation - make a surreal couple, faces veiled like Magritte's lovers and harshly spotlit. The coat itself, key to the film, is finally unpicked by an essay examining the meaning behind the seaming of this show-stopping showpiece. Surreal and unreal, amusing, quietly disquieting yet oddly seductive, this fashion short is all about contradictory mind games.

According to The New York Times!
Gorgeous colour palette, beautiful song, fantastic dancing, amazing clothes and wonderfully observed. All in all a surreal treat.

There is something 'Halton-esque' in this picture about him ........ a real good fashion photograph of him !
I really love the song with this film,does anybody know anything about the singer and the band. Can I download the track anywhere?
By the way a friend of a friend went to the Margiela shop opening and she said he wasn't there.
