If Looks Could Kill: Cinema’s Images of Fashion, Crime and Violence More… 10 - 31 May 2008 Sharon O'Connor, Managing Director of Oasis comments: 'We are very excited to be sponsoring the second Fashion in Film Festival. These rarely seen films dating back to 1908 present us with a source of iconic fashion images which have visibly influenced the contemporary scene. The unique programme of new commissions highlights the creativity and originality of emerging talent and design, values shared and supported by Oasis' 'As a partner of the 2nd Fashion in Film Festival, Central Saint Martins is once again pleased to support the continuing research into the theory and practice of fashion, uniquely embodied in this wonderfully thrilling and stylish collection of films. The role of fashion, costume and styling in films spanning a hundred years reveals the special position that fashion holds in locating the drama of life, society and the human experience.' (Anne Smith, Dean of Fashion and Textiles, Central Saint Martins) |

happy in Arnhem Arnhem Mode Biennale press release In June Fashion in Film Festival was happy together with Arnhem's Mode Biennale. The theme of the festival's second edition was Happy Fashion, celebrating fashion's positive vibe. The curators' interpretation of happiness seemed more to do with the conditions of rawness, risk taking and provocation - all part of the creative process - rather than fairy-talish bliss. Mode Biennale included a never ending catwalk in the city of Arnhem, plus work by Viktor and Rolf, Maison Martin Margiela, Cassette Playa, Henrik Vibskov and Peter Pilotto among many others.
