— Fashion Fetish Ruth Hogben, Daphne Guinness, Liberty Ross, Aimee Mullins, Rei Nadal and more Celebrate International Women's Day with 'Fashion Fetish', a selection of fashion films, performances and multi-media pieces commenting on the fusion of fashion with fetish, created exclusively by women working in fashion. The contributions explore fashion's inherent obsession with sexual fetishism by examining contentious and provocative subjects, such as latex, dolls and 'furries'. Each piece is accompanied by an essay by a female writer, written in 'response' to a specific film, thus handing the power entirely to female fashion professionals. Examine individual visions of fetishism through the eyes of this incredible array of women! — From the Archive — Girly Ryan Lo, Arvida Byström, Bertie Brandes and Louby Mcloughlin Motivated by the fluffy, sparkly bastions of girlishness at the A/W 14 runway shows - from Ryan Lo's tutus to Meadham Kirchhoff's minis - our seminal series 'Girly' unpicks fashion's relationship with overt, cartoon femininity. Alongside a film by Nick Knight and Rei Nadal, 'Girly' features essays and interviews examining themes of contemporary femininity and questions the notions behind girlishness. Revisit for International Women's Day! — From the Archive — More Beautiful Women Twiggy, Kate Moss, Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, Devon Aoki and more Explore more of our archive pieces this International Women's Day! Revisit Nick Knight's explicit homage to Andy Warhol's 'Thirteen Most Beautiful Women' screen tests from 1964. Knight's strategy for these forty-eight films was simply to ask models to stand in front of the video camera for two minutes until told to stop. The results feature many iconic mannequins who had gone into retirement, such as Marisa Berenson, Pilar Crespi, Marie Helvin, Dorian Leigh Parker, Twiggy and Penelope Tree, as well as a number of modelling's most famous contemporary names - Kate Moss, Gisele Bündchen, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Devon Aoki.
