LFW \ Fred Butler SS12 Installation

After the completion of Fred Butler presentation it was then time to build up the installation space where all the garments and accessories would be shown for the remainder of London Fashion Week. Below are a few images of the installation space.

Another element of Fred Butlers SS12 presentation was the film which she had made for the collection was launched on Style Bubble as the event opened. A week before fashion week and on the day after traveling back from Bestival with our overnight ferry journey I worked alongside Zaiba Jabbar and Crane TV on Fred's film to create a set which felt like the lining of a world from one of her accessories. I also worked on transparent visuals that we projected which were taken from the painted textures which Fred had made for the garments. Cutaway shots of water tanks and food colorings were filmed and textured panels of her paintings were used as backdrops.

LFW \ Fred Butler SS12 Presentation

This London Fashion Week I had the great opportunity to work with Fred Butler and create installation props for her SS12 presentation at Somerset House in the Portico Rooms. This season Fred's collection was all based on Sea slugs and showed her accessories off on a much larger scale, this time encompassing full body suits, slinky style jackets, sunglasses, headbands and some rather amazing shoes. The collection as always was a cosmic mix of colour and textures, with hand painted fabrics by Fred herself and the presentation was styled by Kim Howells.

For the event staged in the Portico rooms 5 flat base mats were created as circles each of which had a photographic print of Fred's painted texture design on. In each corner of the room lay 1 each of the 4 smaller circles, individually colour coded in blue, orange, lime and lilac along with a speaker enclosed in a hood of the same colour designed by Fred. In the center of the room lay a larger circle in a multicolour effect. As the models entered the room they took a base station at their colour corresponding circle. There was a sound track created by Patric Wolf which was broken up into 4 sound channels, as the channels increased in sound the models would take their place moving into the center and when all channels were playing they would finally all meet in the middle.

The event turned out to be very busy yet the atmosphere in the room was extremely serene. People exchanged comments on the extraordinary garments and were all taken away to another cosmic world for a short space in time.

LOVE BOX

A little late post from Love Box, mainly because my camera phone decided to not work and so I had no documentation to show, however thanks to Stav B I now have a few snaps that I can show some of the excitement that we got up to. We were back stage helping out Kim Howells whilst she was busy busy busy styling the Dr Noki fashion show on the main stage, which during the run up to the show we were all electrically charged by the thunderous apocalyptic rain showers which seemed to add to an amazingly outrageous fashion show with a packed out main stage crowd and some ludicrous dance manouvers by the wonderful Aaron Frew.

Here are also a few You Tube video's of the acts I managed to see.
