'Exo-Society’ by Telfar
A label whose clothing often requires directions, guidelines, or “how to” instructions attached to the packaging, the Future Tense film created by TELFAR perhaps has more in common with an in-flight safety demonstrations than a conventional ‘Fashion Film’. Not that this is a criticism. Showcasing TELFAR in his own designs, Jaiko Suzuki’s Super 8 film follows the lines of his clothing, helping the viewer to decipher the rules of how to wear the designs and translating TELFAR’s message into visuals. Featuring a collection designed for "the working class of the future", all in all this film is a shining example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s well worn ‘Form follows function’ diktat.
