Matthew Williamson 'XV' - 15 Year Anniversary Film

Matthew Williamson's 15th anniversary film 'XV' stars Sienna Milller, Poppy Delevingne and Andrea Riseborough. Directed by Tell No One, the film was shot at the imposing 17th century country house, Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire and features eight ballerinas from the Royal Ballet, choreographed by the acclaimed Wayne McGregor, founder of the Random Dance company. With original script by Mark Whelan, the collaborative film makers Luke White and Remi Weekes created the mini movie as a snapshot into the imagination of a 15 year old Williamson, dreaming up his very own fashion fantasy with a very down-to-earth twist at the end.

[FIRST LOOK] Louis Vuitton Presents Luxury Bike Polo

To introduce the launch of the new bike polo, Louis Vuitton presents an new action packed short film starring Jonathan Leder and starring Britany Nola (Playboy's Miss November 2012) as a sexy referee during a bike polo match. One of Louis Vuitton’s ongoing projects is the “sport objects” series, represented here with an elegant fixed gear, polo bike made up of elements of steel, aluminium, leather, canvas, and high-density plastic (the front wheel is closed with damier graphite canvas to prevent the ball from passing through or to get a mallet mingled in the wheel). These state of the art - not for sale - unique pieces are also highly functional equipment, designed by Louis Vuitton and produced in collaboration with the most renowned craftsmen in their respective field. Faithful to its innovator origins, this luxury Bike Polo perfectly embodies the exclusive sport objects produced by the House. With the film, director Jonathan Leder introduces his highly aesthetic vision of bike polo, an elegant back-lit choreography where all the players glide into a film noir scenery; a hazy staging featuring the “Louis Vuitton Boys”, not without a touch of irony.

[FASHION FILM] Pierre Balmain S/S 2013 Collection

The Pierre Balmain Spring/Summer 2013 collection is inspired by glamour under the sun, notably the grand hotels of Nice and the French Riviera, the chic styling of iconic French actress Jeanne Moreau as seen in Jacque Demy’s classic 1963 film La Baie des Anges, and the renowned Parisian club in the 80s Les Bains Douches. With a palette of graphic black & white mixed with sun-kissed brights, the women’s pieces strike a balance between strong tailoring and delicate romance; the perfect coral lace dress, feminine shorts, peasant skirts, worn with classic biker or tuxedo jackets. While the men’s provides featherweight playboy essentials; the slim tailored jacket, fitted cardigan, and the perfect shirt signed with a fine black stripe. See the amazing fashion film starring model Anna Selezneva.

Bernadette_Corporation-Bernadette_Corporation-2000_Wasted_Years_artist_space

Hiding behind a logo and name with the word corporation in it, Bernadette Van-Huy, John Kelsey and Antek Walczak, who make up the quasi-subversive art collection Bernadette Corporation have since the mid-90s been running an underground fashion label, creating films, and publishing a magazine. In the summer of 2001, the collective temporarily merged with Le Parti Imaginaire, a faction of post-Situationist militants and intellectuals with links to the burgeoning antiglobalization movement to participate in the riots of the g8 summit. “We call ourselves a corporation because corporations are everywhere, and it impresses people … pretending we are businesspeople while we sleep all day like cats," says the collective. On view this month at the Artist Space in New York, Bernadette Corporation is having its first major retrospective. Bernadette Corporation: 2000 Wasted Years will on view from September 9 to December 16, 2012, at Artist Space, 38 Greene Street, New York
