THE British Council, in partnership with the Ayala Museum, will hold a workshop on fashion film from Oct. 16 to 18 at the Ayala Museum.
Fashion Film is a growing trend among fashion designers and an area of fashion communication in which the UK has a leading position.
It is an alternative medium for fashion designers who would like to tell the story of their collection apart from presenting their work in a catwalk show.
The workshop will be facilitated by Belfast born Kathryn Ferguson who is a filmmaker and curator.
Ferguson completed a Masters in Communication, Arts and Design at the Royal College of Art in June 2011 where she specialized in experimental film.
Prior to the RCA, Kathryn had studied on the Fashion Communicatin BA at Central Saint Martins graduating in 2005. In between courses she made many short films for fashion designers and musicians including Richard Nicoll, Charlie Le Mindu, Katie Eary, Lady Gaga and Domino Records. These films were featured on MTV, SHOWstudie, Dazed Digital, Bubblebyte, the BBC and in Vogue.
Kathryn will be in Manila to facilitate the fashion film workshop as well as showcase a specially curated selection of 10 films from the UK.
The workshop is open to people with a background in fashion design, filmmaking and make-up.
The workshop fee is P5,000.
