WATCH AND LEARN: A SHORT PORTRAIT FILM OF WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK

Dear iDEALS, in the i FABRIC. EUROPEAN TALENT exhibition, Audax Textielmuseum Tilburg presents a young generation of highly promising designers from Europe who are active in the fields of fashion, interior textiles and design. But what does the actual practice that awaits them involve? To answer this question, the Textielmuseum commissioned the young filmmaker Marleine van der Werf to produce video portraits of experienced players in the field. The portraits of the Belgian fashion designer Walter Van Beirendonck, the British artist Lucy Orta, and Anne Højgaard Jørgensen, artistic director of the Danish textile producer Kvadrat, provide insight into their work and their views on design education.

Daphne Guinness: Undressed Director Brennan Stasiewicz Captures Fashion’s Enigma At Home and On Display

"Documentary filmmaker Brennan Stasiewicz infiltrates the cosseted world of Daphne Guinness in Daphne’s Window. Featuring intimate footage of the icon at her Fifth Avenue apartment, the short follows the eccentric fashion patron and socialite as she prepares for her recent installation in the windows of Barneys New York.

The storefront showcased her collection of pieces by designer Lee Alexander McQueen and a selection from the archive of fashion editor Isabella Blow, which Guinness purchased in its entirety last year. The display culminated in a performance art piece in which Guinness dressed for the Met ball in one of the flagship’s windows, modeling a lilac feathered gown designed by McQueen’s Sarah Burton. “She appears to me as someone always in a window,” says Stasiewicz. “Someone you can approach and see, but you remain on the other side.” This year brings a multitude of projects for the heiress: her sculptural armored glove collaboration with jeweler Shaun Leane (pictured in today’s film) will be exhibited by Jay Jopling in a private viewing in London later this month; and in September a retrospective at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology will pay homage to her style. “Daphne is someone to take pleasure in, and in many ways, someone who incites moments of wonder,” says Stasiewicz."
