Collaborating with director
Marie Kristiansen and music by Golden Hum, Phoebe English showcases parts of
her collection throughout the film featuring her signature monochromatic style.
Flashes of dark visuals contrast with a serene mood, where the viewer is
invited to see the multidimensional aspects of the collection.
Featured on Dazed Digital as an exclusive, the film highlights the importance of textures in Phoebe
English’s work and pulls forward the garments themselves, whilst the model
remains passive, face half covered.
“Whilst obviously displayed
to us, the model is simultaneously removed or hidden by the masking of her
eyes” says
English explaining the film-making process she says “x-ray and spectre like
transparencies, slide show layering and the voyeuristic plinth exhibit of the
model protagonist.”
The designer showcased her
collection at Fashion Scout in February earlier this year using this film to
expand ideas on aesthetics seen on the catwalk.
