pretty in punk
I've always loved the incredible work of fashion designer ZANDRA RHODES. She is a textile & construction genius. Her 60's debut rocked the runways while her 70's cut out feather dresses float and form works of art of your bedroom floor. Known as much for wild pink hair and color explosion ensembles, she has an adventurous fashion spirit that has always echoed true Punk. I just caught word that she also recently hosted some dinner parties at her penthouse, and there is a surreal film that captures the scene.
"On Friday the 30th of November, the first of a series of online dinner party art films took place in Zandra Rhodes’ penthouse. Featuring Zandra herself, the dinner party discussion was led by Natt Weller, son of Paul Weller and included guests such as Marios Schwab, artist Andrew Logan, Bishi and Piers Atkinson (Daily Rubbish) amongst others.
Produced by Glass Loves, ‘Chapter 7: Eat Your Chiffon’ was shot by up and coming Photographer & Film Maker Ben Charles Edwards who ‘knows how to turn everyday scenarios into warped cartoon fantasy-lands on film.’ - Jodie Harsh.
Inspired by ‘Eat Your Make Up’ and Chapter 7 of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, the film has managed to capture raw discussion amongst the iconic guests whilst visually acting as an online art installation. The film is being released online in 3 parts in January 2008. Details are at www.glassloves.com
Stay tuned for the next chapter of iconic dinner parties featuring ‘very special’ surprise guests. To be announced shortly....
Make-up for ‘Chapter 7: Eat Your Chiffon’ was provided by James Molloy for M.A.C
