Virtual Statues of Daphne Guinness to Go on Display in Paris Department Store

Lester Brathwaite — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:42:16 +0000

Daphne Guinness is going on display once again. But this time it’s not a window performance piece at Barneys nor an exhibit dedicated to her enviable collection of couture. Paris department store Printemps has teamed with the heiress and photographer Nick Knight‘s SHOWstudio to create virtual mannequins of Guinness for their store windows, using photographic images rendered using cutting-edge three-dimensional scanning technology.

Entitled “Visions Couture,” the display will feature these Daphne avatars in looks from Paco Rabane, Gareth Pugh, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens and Junya Watanabe — in other words, a fierce fashionable feast for the eyes. ”Visions” will also include short films by Knight about each outfit and an interactive display by multimedia artist Danny Brown, utilizing images submitted by the public and passersby. The Daphne-quins will be unveiled come February 6. [WWD]

The late Alexander McQueen‘s final women’s shoe design was just profiled by the people at SHOWstudio. The heels are incredibly detailed and look like the prow of an old-time sailing ship. Watch the video. If you can get past the narrator’s silly moustache, it’s chock full of insight into these one-of-a-kind heels.LINK LOVE: SHOWstudio

My fashion week suitcase was too big for regular baggage handling. Had to check it in next to a cello. Guess which was bigger?!

Don’t Mess with Naomi!

Supermodel Naomi Campbell stars in photographer and filmmaker Nick Knight’s film. The film ends with the infamous supermodel firing two handguns. I love it. While Campbell’s violent past could make this film hilarious, the movie’s subject touches on a serious fashion issue. The film’s premise is racism in the fashion industry.

Lately, this seems to be a hot topic. From Italian Vogue’s all black issue to small forums, the industry is taking note of the color void. The silent film addresses the blunt nature of designers, advertisers, editors and agencies who denounce black models for employment. While the film is only two minutes long, it is powerful and resonate.

“By my own inaction, I am guilty of allowing racism to be normalized and accepted in this business. This has made my deeply sad and increasingly angry.” - Nick Knight
