Last night saw the official launch of The Film Project at Selfridges. To celebrate the unveiling of the London Women’s Designer Galleries, a collection of seven bespoke fashion films were presented in a special exhibition (open now until 25 March) in the Old Hotel at Selfridges London.

The fashion films were created in collaboration with Alexander McQueen by Dustin Lynn, Comme des Garçons by Madeleine Malraux, Dries Van Noten by Christopher Doyle, Gareth Pugh by Ruth Hogben (you even get to see him in drag inspired by Liza Minnelli), A.F. Vandervorst by Stef Viane and Rick Owens by Ruth Hogben. Each designer was commissioned to create a short which interprets “the essence of today’s modern woman: sophisticated, intelligent, confident, stylish, strong and feminine”.

The exhibition itself is curated by award-winning set designer Simon Costin and is open for free at the Old Selfridges Hotel from today until 25 March, 12pm to 8pm and Sunday 12pm to 6pm. You can also watch all of the films online at Selfridges.com and five of the films below.

Part of the project involved the creation of a fashion film co-drected by Pugh and Ruth Hogben to unveil his first make-up range. Presented by the one and only SHOWstudio, check out the brilliant two minute film below.

vice magazine interview with gareth pugh

A great interview with British designer and fashion film visionary, Gareth Pugh just went live on Vice Style, where Pugh discusses his apparent “weirdness”, the launch of his Hong Kong store, his affinity for triangles and how his mother doesn’t have any of his pieces. Definitely worth a read. Highlights include:

Vice: Everyone says you’re super-weird.
Gareth Pugh: Really?

Vice: Yeah. The artist Matthew Stone said that what people don’t understand is that you don’t think your lifestyle and work are weird because you’re so genuinely weird.
Gareth Pugh: I don’t think about it. If I did I’d spend too much time not doing work. PJ Harvey recently said the same thing on TV—it wasn’t until two years after she wrote her songs that she understood them. What I do is more than just the clothes. It’s getting out whatever is inside that’s screaming the loudest. I wouldn’t call it therapeutic. It’s not that conscious.
