Fashion for everyone

As some of you probably know, I am currently studying at the University of Arts in Zurich at the photography department. I just finished my first semester, which included an exhibition of our work at the end of the semester. We get one theme every semester and in the end we have to come up with an idea and produce a work (loosely) based on that theme. This semester's theme was "dream, beauty and fun", which are synonyms for our consumer society. I made a photo series about Swiss fashion designer Tran Hin-Phu and followed him during the preparations for his fashion show at the Fashion Days Zurich 2010 back in November. I filmed a little walkthrough of the exhibition with everyone's work that you can watch here. The video below shows my work self-printed as a zine with the lovely help of Lisa Mettier.

So here's the video I was talking about in my previous blog entry. I'm sorry about the bad camera work I did in the beginning as I was still figuring out how to take a proper video, but it gets better in the second half.

No photographs today but a spontaneous video from a recent evening with my friends. If the video is lagging, you should let it fully load first and then play.

I always like to see how models are beyond the editorials or ad campaigns we know them from. That's why I love the following video. It shows some of the best new faces as well as other popular models without much makeup but with all their imperfections. And for once they can show raw emotions and act all silly, which makes them so much more likeable.

„Since the first Marc by Marc Jacobs show in New York ten years ago, the industry has closely observed the seasonal casting choices made by the house, using them as an early indicator of which faces would dominate the catwalks of the shows to come in London, Milan and Paris. [...] We present this season’s winners.“ – anothermag.com
