Matthew Williamson’s 15th anniversary film ‘XV’ stars Sienna Milller, Poppy Delevingne and Andrea Riseborough. Directed by Tell No One, the film was shot at the imposing 17th century country house, Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire and features eight ballerinas from the Royal Ballet, choreographed by the acclaimed Wayne McGregor, founder of the Random Dance company. With original script by Mark Whelan, the collaborative film makers Luke White and Remi Weekes created the mini movie as a snapshot into the imagination of a 15 year old Williamson, dreaming up his very own fashion fantasy with a very down-to-earth twist at the end.
The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès presents an exhibition called Resolution of Reality, a solo exhibition by Joo Choon Lin. The iconic pop tune from the 1980s was a premonition of the dawn of a technological era. While our experiences today are greatly connected to the extraordinary pace of technological advancement, it has produced a vast amount of waste in its wake. Joo Choon Lin’s Resolution of Reality resurrects these forgotten electronic gadgets in her latest construction of scenarios, portraying technology’s fragile life cycle. This site-specific installation on the third floor of the Hermès store in Singapore explores the unlikely relationship between technology and nostalgia, both fundamentally incompatible concepts by definition – technology incites change whereas nostalgia resists it. Resolution of Reality will be on view until December 16 at Third Floor, Hermès, 541 Orchard Road, Liat Towers, Singapore. See more photographs after the jump. [CLICK HERE...]
Pop Pop Bang is a collaboration between creative director Anna Burns and the photographer Thomas Brown. Through the use of various mediums the pair have curated an exhibition that explores the masculine world of B-Movies and juxtaposed it with the traditional British landscape. Using the themes of said movies – girls, guns and explosives – and twisting it against a very British backdrop these two challenge not only the premise of each subject but also the use of their chosen medias. The duo created a wall of umbrellas displaying elements of the classic B-Movie and located them within three landscapes – one being the forest, then London’s docklands and finally the grounds of Suffolk Manor house.
