Political Fashion
Showstudio Project by Nick Knight &...

Concept and Direction: Nick Knight
Production: Kaylie Mountford, Charlotte Wheeler and Andrea Gelardin
Project Design: Paul Bruty
Technical Development: Dorian Moore

Believing fashion to be intrinsically political, Nick Knight is staging a multi-level film project, encouraging creatives to use the medium of fashion to convey their political beliefs, agendas and thoughts. From the beginning of December 2007, the first stage of 'Political Fashion Films' invites visitors to the SHOWstudio website to submit a film of between 30 seconds and 3 minutes that articulates some kind of political point using fashion. Inkeeping with previous film seasons 'Moving Fashion' and 'Editing Fashion', in February 2008, this invitation will be opened up to a wide selection of fashion industry, art world and celebrity figures, whose Political Fashion Films created to the same brief will also be broadcast on the SHOWstudio website, one film per weekday. The end of the project will be marked by a screening event to be held in London during Spring 2008. All films received before Friday 15 February 2008 will be considered for inclusion.
