So Neat! Check it out kiddas…
‘People are usually surprised when they learn of my not studying something fashion-related. I mean, obviously, I have a significant interest but the prospect of countless hours bent over a Singer cursing unsteady hands and unruly fabric ensured I never even conceived of the thought to study the art. Well, there was also the small matter of my being bereft of any semblance of handcrafting/artistic talent.
So I chose Film Studies (and German but shhh, at least I get to go to Berlin next year) and haven’t looked back. Any why would I when these two major art-forms are now in the habit over overlapping v. often? Film operates much like fashion – ever eager to identify the young talent which will revolutionise the form, influenced by trends which emerge with a furore and die out unbeknownst to most a little later. On the other hand, fashion cites film as an endless source of inspiration and film now provides a new – often, much cheaper – medium for the presentation of a designer’s collection. It enables the designer to imbue the film’s own style (using techniques of editing, a particular soundtrack and a great deal more choreography than is permissible as part of a runway show) with their design aesthetic.
