Paris

"Piers Atkinson took inspiration for his Fall/Winter 2011/12 collection "Paris" from the night skies of the Fashion Capitals and all the friends and colleagues he has living under those skies; making their creative visions come alive... in the clubs, parties, photographs, novels and films that they create. Channelling the music of long-time friend and collaborator, 'the last chanteuse', Anne Pigalle, and mixing in a bit of Brassai, Atkinson and his team of creatives unveiled a little of the winter glamour to be found is his immediate locale; East London's Dalston!
The film focused on capturing these intimate moments in time with each of these flamboyant and charismatic friends of Piers Atkinson wearing the Fall/Winter 2011/12 collection. Featuring the fabulous likes of Anne Pigalle, fashion doyenne Zandra Rhodes, style guru Judy Blame and the East End's Queen of the Night; Princess Julia to name a few.The resulting film evokes a variety of moods but, overall, celebrate the visionary 'creatures of the night' in Dalston, London."

My Nike & Vice Video up on Vicestyle.com!!!

2010-11-03T16:01:00.000-07:00

Zaiba Jabbar has made music videos for the likes of Theoretical Girl and her buddies Joe and Will Ask? and some fashion films. You know those weird clips nobody has really worked out yet. Though Zaiba’s made some of the best fashion films and has been profiled in the New York Times, for her film for David David and being one of only two winners of ASVOFF and Vogue Italia’s Light Series prize, probably because waving a camera around in slow motion isn’t really her thing. For Nike Running Zaiba filmed her old pals Joe and Will running around Canary Wharf and Hackney, where they live at night, capturing the speed, fierce concentration and sheer effort that goes into the challenge known as running. Joe and Will might be bandmates, but for the duration of their runs both want, need even, to win.

Vice: What made you want to make a film about running?
Zaiba: Running encapsulates the core of my ideas about film and being a filmmaker. I’m always trying to capture movement, energy and the passing of time on film.

Why did you want to work with Joe and Will Ask? the DJ and production team?
I've worked with Joe and Will a few times. My first professional directing job involved making a video for their single "Warm it Up". I also quite liked watching them run around different parts of London and making them sweat. And their music has an urgency that makes it great for running as well as dancing too.

Do you run much?
Not as much as I dance. In my jungle days I was always the girl doing the running man in my Air Max 90s, does that count? Heels weren't really appropriate and the Air Max were also way less embarrassing when you’re getting the bus home in the morning.

Where in the film did you really think you caught the spirit of the running?
I really love the shot of Will just running on the spot, against the white background. For me, that visually communicates the idea that running can be such an internal thing and a time to clear the head and enable you to think straight, to see your goals. Running sort of develops the strength to focus too.

Growing up did you see much running on the streets of Leyton?
Not really. I tried not to be out on the streets of Leyton too much. A lot of my friends run now and I think they’re motivated and determined people, it's a great way to stay fit and it doesn’t cost anything either.

If you're in Soho this evening, stand aside if you spot the VICE team in our shiny Nike LunarGlide 2 trainers and new Nike Running kits on a 5k run, in honour of the launch of a new Nike Running store in Covent Garden.

CASSIA by Zaiba Jabbar on FASHION 156

2010-10-15T01:42:00.000-07:00

Such a lovely wright up by Julia Kasper!

Cassia By Zaiba Jabbar

Regular blog readers and F156Film lovers will already know the work of Zaiba Jabbar. For anyone who doesn’t, let Zaiba introduce Cassia. She is an isolated, enchanting heroine with a beauty and aura that is destructive and eyes that draw mortals in like moths to an eyelash framed flame. She sits upon her rooftop waiting and searching for what she knows is ‘out there’ on moonlit nights that are filled with couture urban gangs bedecked in sequins and glitter.
To an uneasy soundtrack by The Vile Bodies, the story plays out with all the ingredients that we have come to know and love Zaiba Jabbar for. With ultimate suspense, acidic beauty and a way with lighting that is comparable to no other filmmaker in her genre, ‘Cassia’ is undeniably a work that is, in it’s predatory nature, utterly addictive.
With Zaiba’s ever-growing portfolio of diverse, striking fashion films including her award winning “1-minute Light Series” in collaboration with Vogue Italia and A Shaded View of Fashion Film Festival, we’re eagerly awaiting her coming projects with Charlie Le Mindu and William Richard Green for SS’11.
So, for now I watch Cassia with equal measures of fright and wonder, and shuffle with a heightened sense of caution as I cross the city at night. I’m certainly going to take note from Cassia by drawing a pair of trapping eyes onto my palms so that I can eliminate my enemies with a quick flash of wide, spreading fingers like deadly eyelashes and run back to the safety of my own rooftop.

A Conversation With Zaiba Jabbar
by Brodie Lancaster on 11/10/2010 in Fashion

CASSIA BY ZAIBA JABBAR SCREENED @ DIANE PERNET'S ASVOFF 3 POMPIDOU CENTRE

After winning the Vogue Italia and A Shaded View on Fasion Film Festival’s 1Minute “Light” Series Competition earlier this year with a film showcasing William Richard Green’s AW10 collection, London-based filmmaker Zaiba Jabbar has continued her assault on the ever-expanding new genre of fashion filmmaking with her new work, Cassia.

Starring model Abigail Rose Mason as our titular heroine, Cassia takes its viewer on a journey through a night filled with modern gangs. Cassia and her nocturnal counterparts were styled by Ella Dror and Alex Carle in a bevvy of designer bounty, including pieces by Ann-Sofie Back, William Green, American Apparel, Craig Lawrence, Gemma Slack and Dr. Martens.

We got the chance to speak with Zaiba about both Cassia and her approach to fashion filmmaking.

PTV: What were your inspirations- visually, narratively, sartorially- for Cassia?
Zaiba Jabbar: I was inspired by London, by translating the constant fashion in motion that happens around me. Also by the places I go and using designers like Charlie Le Mindu, Iris Van Herpen, and Qasimi, and recontextualising these extraordinary clothes in mundane settings and familiar places to create a narrative style piece that revolves around fundamentally about wanting to belong. And of course still be visually very stunning and keep it really London!

How did this project differ from your film for William Richard Green, with a more varied wardrobe and a looser theme?
Budget! Ha! …Well, with the WRG film it was a more of an exploration of an idea that I had wanted to realise. I had wanted to use these moving lights so I approached Will and said we should use his clothes (as I thought the rubber pieces would work really well). We made the film for under £50 with just the 3 of us: me, the designer and the model Thomas Ashley. After winning the ASVOFF & Vogue Italia competition it proved that there really are no rules associated to what you can call a fashion film. But for me as a filmmaker I’m always trying to explore new territory, so with Cassia I wanted it to be completely different. Cassia was a much larger production and involved working with a variety of people. I also wanted to tell a story, test the water with a more narrative-driven piece.

What attracts you to fashion film? What makes fashion filmmaking different from other types (shorts, music videos etc.)?
Getting into fashion film was completely by accident. I’d been working in the music video industry and had just started to direct a few low budget music videos (which, looking back now, were all quite style driven!) and a very good friend of mine, Lauren Cochrane, a fashion journalist, had put my name forward to Fashion East founder Lulu Kennedy. DavidDavid was showing as part of Fashion East that year and had wanted a film instead of a catwalk. We had a few meetings and I had pitched an idea. It was all quite serendipitous when I think about it. I think with the DavidDavid video it is very evident of my music video background music, something that still is integral to any fashion film I make. I think as a medium it is the combination of audio and visuals colliding, making beautiful images work with cool sounds is something I get very excited about exploring. And with fashion film there is a real window in which to do that.

I always like to Zaiba-fy any video I make. I like to approach each film individually and put a unique and odd stamp on it. Keep it fresh and trust my own instinct, and not get too influenced by what other people are doing.

Fashion film initially is about promotion of a brand but I think it has now turned into more of an art form, as well as another box to be ticked for a designer or lab. The gap between the two extremes is now bridging because what we claim is fashion film is altering. We find ourselves in a situation where a video of a photo shoot can be a fashion film. I think it seems like moving fashion content is on demand and the integration of that is where the balance between the two is occurring the most. Its not just the high fashion houses all commercial enterprises are slowly realising the importance of moving content.

What are you working on next?
I’ve just done a video for Charlie Le Mindu SS11, in which I’ve presented an alternative reality of his catwalk and made it a piece itself, helping to bring a new lease on life, a second wind- to a soon forgotten event -the catwalk of any designer. I’m also working on a new video for William Richard Green SS11, which we’re planning a launch screening for in November.

Zaiba Jabbar directs this month's F156 FILM
Can you hear them? Through the trees... with their guns? They’re close. I can feel it....

Since having worked with the award winning, up and coming filmmaker Zaiba Jabbar on our Summer Issue, we here at F156 have been itching to start another project with her and we’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with this amazing young, London talent once more for our ‘Couture Campers Issue’.

The lovely Zaiba recently won first prize at the ASVOF Film Festival for her ‘1 minute light series’ entry, featuring William Richard Green’s collection which I blogged about a few weeks back . This time Zaiba directs our F156 FILM entitled ‘Can You Hear Them?’ A sinister tone is set, deep in the woods where our Couture Camping subjects are submersed into an intoxicating orange smoke and dark shadows. Lost in a sensational and surreal world, our subjects are torn between light and darkness with a distinct element of the hunt following close behind.

To accompany our main fashion editorial, Zaiba has captured our stills in motion with a feeling of suspense and fear that has had us all gripped in the office since we saw the final cut! Another amazing film by this gobsmacking-ly talented girl. I love the way she has captured our green armed boys, clad in Katie Eary skins from head to toe as they hunt down Couture fawns that dress in fur and layers of florescent Perspex. Enjoy these stills and enjoy the film even more...

Fashion Direction and Styling: Guy Hipwell.

EXCLUSIVE FULL LENGTH VERSION OF WILLIAM RICHARD'S GREEN AW10 FASHION FILM UP ON DAZED DIGITAL

2010-07-10T01:04:00.000-07:00

WILLIAM RICHARD GREEN (LONDON, UK)

The 24 year old designer talks about his rubber-and-wetsuit inspired fall showing as we exclusively show the full length version of the award-winning film for the collection directed by Zaiba Jabbar.

Most people come to the city to forget their past. But for 24-year old CSM graduate and new menswear designer, William Richard Green; a childhood spent in the countryside made an indelible impression on him. Take his graduate collection based on the Rob Zombie film, ‘House of a 1000 Corpses’ which featured a coat made out of rabbit furs (supplied by Hockley) with buttons cast out of their bones. “It was kind of an expensive joke. I come from Worcester and my parents own a farm. But I tend to associate fur with vulgar glamour so I don’t go out of my way to use it.”

Perhaps his upbringing is more reflected in the rugged materials such as denim and wool and sturdy, if subtly reconfigured sportswear shapes that make up his work. His vision combines a masculine utilitarianism with technical innovation, undercut by a dark, perverse sense of humour. Laughs Green, “Well I do draw influence from my friends and they are all perverts basically!”

Following apprenticeships at DavidDavid and Hockley, he also did time on Savile Row and as seems a prerequisite for every promising young designer these days; has designed an outfit for Lady Gaga. His fall 2010 collection takes inspiration from a decidedly more obscure source, John Carpenter’s postapocalyptic film, ‘Escape from LA.’ “That film was tacky but amazing at the same time. The wetsuits worn by the heroes in the film inspired me to work with rubber. I worked with this guy who makes these fetish outfits. We made these real basics like a raglan t-shirt and duffle coat but in these fetish fabrics, and we used the wrong side so that it wasn’t tacky, but chalky.” So enamoured was he with the results, his hotly tipped DJ act (Joe and Will Ask?) got booked to play the sex-and-rubber venue, The Hoist. “I’m glad we did it – it was interesting to check it out. It’s such a specific genre. They were quite excited about having two straight young boys DJ at their club. In a way it was kinda sweet!” It would seem a certain seediness pervades Green’s aesthetic. After all what else to make of a quilted mohair jacket made out of rug that came from a porn shoot. “Well I didn’t have much money this season – so everything was collected or found which fits in with the aesthetic of the movie because these were gangs who pick up rubbish to make their outfits.”It’s no surprise that he cites the Belgian fetishist Walter Van Beirondonck as well as the bondage loving Vivienne Westwood as designers he admires.

The coolly sinister, monochromatic gang of toughs in the Fall collection continues to explore his fascination with subcultures. “I do love where people stick together in groups and be different from everyone else. I think London is cool for that. My work always ends up looking like a gang. Those movies like Mad Max had a strong influence on me.”
Dazed Digital exclusively premiere the full length video for the collection directed by up-and-coming filmmaker, Zaiba Jabbar (who won the prestigious 2010 A Shaded View On Fashion Film/ Vogue Italia Award along with Miho Kinamura). Says Jabbar, "I was especially interested in exploiting the grungy ideas of the collection through the use of negative space and light which infected the clothes. The rubber jacket absorbed the pin prick lights beautifully and I loved the idea of a floating illuminated moving silhouette highlighting the shapes and details of the clothes. I wanted to echo the heroic and anti-heroic ideas of the collection by creating a tectonic and mysterious mood for the film."

For Spring/Summer ’11 sees Green looking to more offbeat sources. “I can’t really sleep at night because of my hours DJ-ing and so I really got into this late-night reality TV programme called ‘The Deadliest Catch’ about Alaskan fishermen - they were these really burly Hell’s Angels types who would wear heavy duty oilskins and go diving. I thought it would be fun to do a Spring/Summer collection based on that. I have this fantasy of doing short shorts and wellies.”
