Frankie : Exclusive UK release Fashion in Film Festival teamed up with Cine lumiere of the French Institute to bring you Frankie. This remarkable film is a recent feature-film debut by Fabienne Berthaud. It tells an insightful story of the defeat of one fashion model (starring the beautiful Diane Kruger who proves she can do apathetic really well), with a delicate soundtrack by the American duo Coco Rosie.

15-17 June 2007 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 seems 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.

14-27 May 2006 Fashion in Film Festival opened in London in May 2006 with its first edition titled " Between Stigma and Enigma," a retrospective showcase of film and video work on fashion. It was screened at three unique London venues: Ciné lumière (French Institute), The Horse Hospital and the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA). Featuring a mix of early and classic cinema, contemporary art, as well as documentary, instruction and propaganda film, it sent viewers on blissfully satisfying and fickle journeys peppered with fine clothes and foxy attitudes. Fashion in Film Festival hosted a special screening of the rarely seen cult film Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo? and welcomed its director William Klein as the Festival’s 2006 Guest of Honour. Film screenings were followed by lectures, informal talks and Q&A sessions with filmmakers, artists, critics and fashion designers including Anna-Nicole Ziesche, Jean-François Carly, Penny Martin and Shelley Fox. Two silent films in the Shoes, Eroticism and Fetish programme, The Gay Shoe Clerk (1903) and the rare gem Amor Pedestre (1914), were accompanied by music especially composed for the occasion by The WOLFMEN (Marco Pirroni and Chris Constantinou). You can now buy a copy of our 2006
catalogue packed with articles by festival curators and
guest writers about various aspects of fashion in film. The
collection includes texts by leading film, fashion and art history
scholars such as Charles Musser, Lynda Nead and Caroline Evans,
Pamela Church Gibson and Stella Bruzzi. Other contributors include
Peter Hames, David Bate, Penny Martin, Vaclav Kofron and Petra
Dominkova. Watch William Klein on the SHOWstudio website
