Fashion Film: Ferregamo20 ;)

by Kwanza Kukubo on 21 July 2021

Taking a hallucinatory montage of COVID-19 lockdown-related news clips as its opening scene, Ferregamo20 ;) is a playful portrait of an internet user in isolation. Seen through the eyes of South Africa-based visual artist Kwanza Kukubo (also known as Pari$), Kukubo spends the night messing around on his Apple iMac, filming himself on Photo Booth lip syncing and dancing to Jamiroquai's funky anthem 'High Times.' The film ends as he spritzes some Salvatore Ferragamo cologne at the camera - hence the title.
