23. June 2008 Art & Fashion, Calls & Events
Submissions for Diane Pernet´s and Dino Dico´s YOU WEAR IT WELL Contest have to be turned in until 15th July. So, hurry up!
“YOU WEAR IT WELL - In the spring of 2006, Dino Dinco & Diane Pernet discussed the prospects of curating a traveling presentation of short films and videos that investigated the intersection of fashion and film. Furthermore, they wanted to showcase films and videos that were specifically oriented around the issues of fashion, style and / or beauty, rather than exist only as elements of the bigger picture, such as costume design.
Films of this nature are often difficult to come by and are gradually appearing via the Internet, if at all. Dinco and Pernet felt that a global audience existed for these types of films, but that it would be more interesting to create an ever-evolving presentation of these films and screen this presentation in cities around the world. Hence, YOU WEAR IT WELL was born.
Through YOU WEAR IT WELL, Dinco and Pernet sought to unveil the best moving images from international filmmakers, artists, photographers and designers, culled through two degrees of separation from their inner circle of creative friends and acquaintances. Simultaneously, they offered an Open Call for submissions to the world at large, through Pernet’s blog, A Shaded View on Fashion as well as through word of mouth. A small jury of fashion and film professionals assembled to select the best of the best, and the result was a program that put some of the biggest names in the world of fashion next to the inspired work of largely unknown, creative hopefuls. The common thread was a passion and admiration for the magic that can occur when fashion meets the moving image.
To select the best of the Open Call submissions for YOU WEAR IT WELL 2, we were honored to have the following film and art world professionals as our jury: Ned Brown, Executive Producer of HKM / Rockfight; Charlotte Cotton, Curator of Photography, Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Deborah Irmas, Photography Curator and Documentary Film Producer.”
