Frankenfashion

No, Frankenfashion is not the lengthy worst dressed list from the Emmys. It's a new film by Alex Turvey that was commissioned by Dazed and Confused and featured as part of onedotzero and Dazed's Fashion in Film program at the BFI. Why didn't they have cool courses like that when I was in school? Despite the massive improvement in options I'm not going back. Not ever. I prefer the self-directed approach to further education.

The fashion victim is wearing this incredible cut-out dress by Nathan Jenden that looks like paper but moves like crisp cotton, with shoes from Rupert Sanderson. The Frankenstein model is first seen wearing a black Hannah Marshall dress with Louise Goldin shoes and the gloriously ornate gold dress is from Manjit Deu. 

It's violent! Sort of. Well, it is about taking someone else's parts to make a superior being. Two times I asked no one in particular 'She's not really going to do that, is she?' And she did. Watch to see what I mean. The final scene reminds me of Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box video.
