Work In Progress

This week I've been working with James Medcraft on a joint project.
It's been a hell of a lot of fun (if slightly knackering).

Watch this space for the results. In the meantime, here's the Making Of for the promo for 'Tonto' by Battles that James co-directed as part of UVA back in 2007...



BRILLIANT! Here's his website..

Chris Sweeney's Charlie Le Mindu Showreel and Film Makers for Fashion Film

I'm a MASSIVE fan of Le Mindu's work. In case you're unaware of him. Charlie's a French-born hair designer based in London. He first made an impact on me when he created the stunning hair piece for Alex Turvey's Frankenfashion...

Photobucket

From there he's been taking the fashion world be storm, and is most well known for creating Lady Gaga's wigs (and in some cases - whole hair outfits)


He's been the controversial face of the past few London fashion weeks with his shows (styled by the fabulous Anna Trevelyan).
The image below was pretty much plastered over every London news paper the other week.


Now he's made another amazing move by working with talented film director Chris Sweeney to create his showreel piece....




I think this is as good a time as ever to remind you all of Chris Sweeney's collaboration with Sarah Chatfield and the resulting film for YSL a few years ago...

Photobucket

And Nez's film for Halston...

Photobucket


Simply stunning fashion films.
