Todd Selby film

After buying Todd Selby is in Your Place (published 2010) I regularly have a little browse through it every now and then-it doesn't really get old to me. Since then Todd Selby has continued with more shoots and like every creative out there at the moment, he has expanded into film. You could loose interest quite quickly.. but I quite liked this one. Maybe because of the Italian references!

The Black Swan

definitely on my list of films to watch.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK

I had to go watch this film seeing that at least once a day I find myself on Facebook checking what's happening in the world of social networking. Pretty good film.. worth watching. It's basically a story of the creation of an extremely addictive website! A true story is always more interesting to watch- and I actually appreciate Facebook now.

Trembled Blossom

Prada's Spring/Summer 08 collection. Trembled Blossom was created to introduce and capture the essence of the new collection at the time. Created by illustrator James Jean, and based on his wallpapers which he designed for Prada, he used inked drawings to depict a mystical floral forest in an Art Nouveau style. The inked drawings were used as a theme throughout the collection and within the photoshoot for the advertising campaign.

I have always argued that fashion is a form of art, and I love the use of art as a major inspiration within fashion. Prada's campaign works with illustration and combines James Jean's work in the designing of the collection through the contours of the fabric, colours and print.

Saville Row have collaborated with artist Quentin Jones to produce an animated film to accompany their S/S 10 collection.

The collection was inspired by a set of photographs taken back in 1930s of the The Duke of Windsor on holiday in Majorca. E.Tautz has given the collection a sense of humour- part of the concept is English men enjoying themselves in the Mediterranean.

The film communicates the quirky English eccentricity of the collection, and was showcased in the Saville Row offices along with

tea and cakes offered to the guests.

By creating a film to accompany a collection, it helps potential buyers and customers understand the concept of the collection and not just understand the 'image' of collection, but the mood of it too. Music and moving imagery can help 'set the scene' and make a collection much more than a collection, but a character with history and meaning.

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

When I found out there was going to be a re-make of Disney's Alice in Wonderland I couldn't have been anymore excited! Alice in Wonderland has to be my favourite Disney classic, and to find out that Tim Burton was re-creating the film and Johnny Depp cast as the Mad Hatter, was even better.

I love how twisted and odd the story is, like a dream creeping into reality, everything is not how it seems. I really enjoy watching Burton's films, they are like dark fairytales and daydreams, written filled with imagination, inventions and fantasy.

Out March 5 2010. Click on the title to watch the trailer.
