In March,1997, as always every 6 months, I went to Vivienne’s, Paris fashion show.This one ‘Vive la Bagatelle’ was different.
This was the show that showcased my & my partner Yasmine’s lingerie designs.
The supermodels of the world were wearing them, & I was using a Super 8mm film camera.
This is the footage I shot…
4.14 minutes of beauty.
An ace up my sleeve, is that I can actually make this film clearer in the future.
The process, here used, is that I projected the footage onto a wall & filmed it with my Hi8 video camera.
The benefit of this technique though, is that I love the pulsing nature of the film & I love the sound of the projector whirring.
On the humorous side, you will notice that the lighting technique used in the film, is my good friend Andy (the Gardener), who I got to carry a tungsten security light on a long extension lead.
In order to get the correct light level, he had to nearly burn the lovely bottom of supermodel Nadia Alderman, which he also, with great pleasure, had to run after.
Helena Christensen & Eva Herzigova look pretty Hot too, whilst Jerry Hall does her thing.
I have 2 shows covered by this filming technique & showcasing this lingerie.
The subsequent one, shot at the Lido showgirl venue & modelled by another kind of even sexier supermodel, is from the collection called ’5 Centuries Ago’ (AW97-98).
Backstage footage shot on Super 8mm film, projected & videoed.
