SHOWstudio - POLITICAL FASHION

A recommendation by Three

Show Studio is in their 2nd season of Political Fashion films. They have invited a new selection of fashion industry, art world and celebrity figures to answer the brief to express their political beliefs, agendas and thoughts through film.

I loved Nick Knight's entry from July 25th 08:
Having addressed the tricky, tricksy and often veiled subject of body size hand-in-hand with the equally inflammatory subject of feminism in his first Political Fashion film, Nick Knight now chooses to tackle the outright taboo subject of racism in the fashion industry. Despite increasing diversity throughout contemporary society, is is undoubtedly true that black models feature in fashion far less than their white counterpoints. Nick's film not only questions this, but as a fashion 'insider' takes the industry to task over one of the last arenas where racism is apparently a tacitly-accepted fact of life.
