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' aims to exploit this exciting new opportunity through an in-depth study of fashion film.
From 14 October-16 December 2005, we screened a series of films -one per day- produced by many of the leading figures responsible for determining how fashion is represented. Each short was a personal response to the simple SHOWstudio brief of "creating a thirty second film featuring a moving garment from the Autumn/Winter '05/06 collections".
