Film still from Eyes of the Beholder by Toyin

The crack of a bullwhip is the effect of its tip exceeding the speed of sound, the braided leather causing a small sonic boom. You might call the Doi's brooding soundtrack to Toyin's new whip-cracking film 'Eyes of the Beholder' more of a sonic explosion; its soaring refrain and thundering bass driving an elegiac film featuring whip-cracking lads and winsome lasses courting each other's affections. Shot in a Georgian townhouse and created in collaboration with Replay, this powerful and romantic fashion film showcases the company's Autumn/Winter '08-09 collection and provides a seductive visual feast in so doing.

Amazing film, the clothes look beautiful. Quite a different look for Replay but a great move.

I don't want to sound negative in any way as I am a great admirer of Toyins work, but I keep waiting for her to push harder and take it all up a gear.
I feel there is so much more to come from Toyin and I can't wait to see it but at the moment I feel like she is treading water a little.
