Instant Alchemy for Kimandra


I recently collaborated on a fashion shoot with my friend Andrea for her vintage fashion project Kimandra. I had been thinking for a while that it would be fun to shoot a project entirely on my Polaroid Image camera and she agreed, which is why we chose the name Instant Alchemy. We shot five different outfits during the shoot. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Kimandra is unique because any clothing you see in photos on the site are also for sale. About this concept they say:

"we believe that creating a love for the individual piece encourages long term use and therefore discourages consumerism and over production."

An admirable statement. Here are a few more shots from the Instant Alchemy shoot.

                 

BasFolies

On September 10th was BasFolies, a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Mode Atelier Basman. The show consisted of a Fashion Show mixed with a Folies style Variety show. I was responsible for the video production in the show as well as filming during it. If you were not among the people fortunate enough to be there, here is a little taste of the BasFolies:

The show began with a video showing the space alien moderator flying his birthday cake-shaped space ship and crash landing it into the venue -- so that explains those clips, if you were wondering. All together it was a really fun show, that had a perfect balance of hand-craft and high fashion. Someone described it as Children's theater for adults. I can agree with that.

BasFolies was a GlamourGeek Production and directed by Eva De Vree.

Tomorrow I will be filming a short promotional piece for Zürich fashion designer Basman during their fashion show entitled BasVegas. It should be a pretty cool event. If there is WiFi at the venue I will stream some of the show live on my Qik Channel. I will definitely post video and pictures later as well.
