ACMI Fashion on Film

It was my pleasure this weekend to attend a special screening of ‘Dressed for Summer 2012’ at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, where fab curator James Nolan hosted a number of local fashionistas and bloggers to celebrate the start of the fashion on film series for LMFF.

Mademoiselle Agnes at Paris Fashion Week

Having seen ‘Dressed for Summer 2011’, I couldn’t wait to watch the hilarious Mademoiselle Agnes document the catwalks of Paris and New York, with her unique take on fashion and style on the streets and in the tents.

She didn’t disappoint, with many a chuckle being heard through the cinema. This is an older clip but you get the idea. She is a hoot!

As part of LMFF, ACMI will be showing a selection of fashion films, a collection known as Click! Fashion Photographers on Film. The program includes such famed fashion snappers as Bill Cunningham, Brian Duffy and David Bailey imortalised through documentary and celluloid – the very medium that has made them famous.

Dressed for Summer 2012 can be seen as part of a double with Beaton by Bailey (3 screenings), Check the ACMI website for all the details on screenings and session times.
