EVOQUE fashion night - the quiet before the storm

image

Last night the EVOQUE fashion night took place at the MAK in Vienna. We had the chance to have a look behind the scenes and shoot the models and designers backstage and capture the atmosphere before the show. It was wonderful to see the models as well as the young designers themselves, preparing for the long anticipated show and the waiting was worth it, the show was amazing!

///////////////////////////////////

Gestern nacht fand die EVOQUE fashion night im Wiener MAK statt. Wir hatten die Chance schon vorab hinter die Kulissen zu blicken und die Models und Designer Backstage abzulichten und die magische Atmosphäre vor der Show einzufangen. Es war wundervoll die Models und Jungdesigner zu sehen, wie sie sich auf die lang erwartete Show vorbereitet haben. Das Warten war es auf jeden Fall wert, die Show war faszinierend!

Das McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Parndorf lud heuer zum ersten Mal zum Christmas Late Night Shopping, wo die Weihnachtssaison vergangenen Donnerstag feierlich eröffnet wurde. Dies nahm Topmodel Susie Bick im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes in die Hand - in Form einer überdimensionierten Zuckerstange, mit der sie die Lichter am Weihnachtsbaum zum Erleuchten brachte.

Als Vorgeschmack auf das 13 festival for fashion & photography präsentierten die nominierten Designer für den Modepreis des BMUKK und der Stadt Wien - Raffaela Graspointner, Markus Binder und Emil Beindl sowie Femme Maison und BRADARIC OHMAE eine Auswahl ihrer Kollektionen und haben nun mindestens einen Fan mehr: Susie Bick!

Einen Tag später treffen wir Susie Bick wieder, als sie von Jork Weismann für unseren Festivalpartner DIVA in Outfits der nominierten Designer für die AFA - Austria Fashion Awards fotografiert wird.

Die Ergebnisse des Shootings könnt ihr in einer der nächsten Ausgaben der DIVA sehen, wir haben schon ein paar Schnappschüsse hinter den Kulissen für euch gemacht und Susie einige Fragen gestellt:

Your carreer started an early age when you were discovered by Steven Meisel. Could you shortly describe how this happened?

I met Steven Meisel when I was 14 years old on Easter holidays with my father in New York and he advised me to go back to school which I did rather reluctantly, but the idea to work with photographers was planted in my head. Meeting Steven Meisel was a seminal moment for me, a moment when everything changed and nothing was ever the same.

You have been working with the best fashion photographers in the world such as Nick Knight, David Bailey, Guy Bourdin, Helmut Newton or Sarah Moon. Is there one that you especially loved working with? Do you have a favourite work or collaboration? Why is this your favourite one?

One of my favourite photos is the one Dominique Issermann took of me and my husband, Nick, that he used for the cover of Push The Sky Away. This was another of these photos that was taken ’between the moments’, where Nick happened to walk in while I was doing a shoot with Dominique for Stiletto magazine. It was taken in our bedroom in Brighton and I was in between costume changes, which is why I was naked. Dominique, who is a master at grabbing the most poignant and mysterious of moments, asked Nick to open the shutter. The light pours in. Many have interpreted Nick’s gesture as a kind of casting out but to me I see it as a pulling away of the veil on our private life, which the songs do on this beautiful record.

Your campaign for Yohji Yamamoto that was shot by Nick Knight became iconic. What in your opinion does it make so extraordinary?

When Nick Knight took the shot of me smoking we had already done a long and gruelling day’s shoot. I sat down for a moment and I smoked. Nick took the photograph which existed outside of what we were trying to do for the shoot. Even though, for me, this was a moment when I was caught in an ’accidental’ pose, it really was the culmination of years of modelling and that, up to that point, my career had been moving toward this singular and magical image.

Nick Knight, Susie Smoking

You’ve been one of Vivienne Westwood’s favourite catwalk models. What did you enjoy more - being photographed or walking the catwalk?

Vivienne is really the genius of British fashion and being anywhere within her orbit was an absolute privilege. You never knew what was going to happen and her shows were always confounding and inspiring and ultimately very, very beautiful. Having said that I never did like the catwalk much and always felt extremely uncomfortable and exposed in a way that I never felt in front of the camera. Being in front of the camera is about stillness, a kind of a shedding of yourself, you feel you have at least some control over the outcome of the image. The catwalk is all noise and hysteria.

image

You are not only presenting fashion but very interested in fashion itself. Do you have a favourite fashion designer?

Bella Freud and Vivienne Westwood.

Today you did a shooting for DIVA wearing clothes of young Austrian fashion designers. How did you like these outfits?

It was an honour to be invited to Vienna for 13 festival for fashion & photography, and an honor to wear all the new designers’ wonderful clothes. I felt a responsibility towards all the designers and hope I did justice to their amazing talent and designs. It is so important to support new designers and 13 festival is doing an incredible job, I have enjoyed being a little part of it very much.

Where do you take your inspiration from? What role does music play in your life and for your work?

I’m inspired by everything around me all the time. It can be anyone or anything. Costumes in films are always a great inspiration to me, like in the beautiful film The Leopard.

AFA Jury - Introducing Branko Popovic

Der Fashion Socializer

Ich treffe Branko Popovic in Maastricht, er mich in Wien, virtuell wirklich auf Skype. Eine charmante Stunde lang unterhalten wir uns über „Gott“, Mode und Wien. Anlass: Branko ist heuer erstmals Jurymitglied des Austrian Fashion Awards 13. Der gebürtige Kroate musste mit zwölf Jahren vor dem Jugoslawienkrieges in die Niederlande flüchten. Dort ist er als emsiger Blogger, Modedesigner und Mitgründer des jungen Fashionclash-Festivals in Maastricht aktiv. Er erzählt mir, warum er an die Wiener Modeszene glaubt und warum Mode derzeit interessanter als Kunst ist.

Von Antje Mayer

Du sitzt heuer erstmals in Jury des Austria Fashion Award. Österreichische Designertalente entdeckt?

Es war gestattet, zwei in der Kategorie „Young Designer“ zu nominieren, ich hatte nach zähem inneren Ringen letztlich fünf (!) auf meiner Liste (lacht). Es gibt in Wien Kreative mit sehr interessanten und ungewöhnlichen Zugängen zur Mode, was natürlich auch Lehrerfiguren wie Bernhard Wilhelm an der Universität für Angewandte Kunst geschuldet ist. Der ist „really Avantgarde“! Meine These: Gute Schulen vor Ort, viele Talente vor Ort.

Das gilt auch für die kleine niederländische Stadt Maastricht, in der Du als Designer und „Mode Socializer“ tätig bist?

Die Modeszene im kleinen Maastricht ist sehr lebendig. Ich glaube, es gibt da so ein paar Charakteristika, die die kreative Szene einer Stadt, egal wie gross sie ist, beleben: Eben die guten Schulen, das Handwerk, die geografische Lage – Frankreich, Deutschland, Belgien umzingeln uns in nächster Nähe– und der echte Wille, nicht nur die etablierten Stars zu fördern, sondern auch die experimentale Szene. Wer auf Mainstream setzt, kriegt auch nur Mainstream.

Na, dahingehend hätte Wien ja alles zu bieten!

Ja sicher. Ich verfolge die vergangenen drei Jahre die Szene dort. Es bricht etwas auf. Auf unserem interdisziplinären Fashionclash Festival in Maastricht, das sich seit 2009 – mittlerweile sehr erfolgreich- der Entdeckung junger Talente verschrieben hat, haben wir heuer das erste Mal einen Österreicher auf der Einladungsliste: Emre Tamer. Seine Arbeiten finde ich ganz stark.

Einer unter 150 Designern!? Na ja, besser als niemand. Ich habe Dich vorhin –etwas vorlaut- als „Fashion Socializer“ bezeichnet. Passt diese Bezeichnung zu dir?

Ich bin mit 12 Jahren aus Kroatien vor dem Jugoslawien-Krieges in die Niederlande emigriert. Wir sind letztlich mit einem Koffer voller Kleider geflohen. Das war alles, was wir mitnahmen. Als letzte Generation der „Tito-Pioniere “ ist meine soziale Ader sozusagen ein Erbe, das ich in den Westen eingeführt habe (lacht). Wenn ich Mode designe, ist der Ausgangspunkt immer ein gesellschaftliches Thema, was man bei meinen Kollektionen „Passenger“ oder „On the Road“ sieht. Ich schreibe regelmässig meinen Modeblog brankopopovicblog und bin als Mitgründer sehr intensiv in das Fashionclash Festival involviert. Mode hat die Kraft zu kommunizieren. Du steckst einen Mensch in Mode rein und diese „Kraft“ läuft dann durch die Welt. Das ist fantastisch!

Sind deswegen in letzter Zeit Modeausstellungen in Museen so populär?

Mode reflektiert gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen viel schneller und direkter als Kunst. Sie vereint Disziplinen wie Performance, Installation, Kunst, Musik. Es gibt da doch so ein deutsches Wort: „Gesamtkunstwerk“? Mode ist weit mehr als nur „ein Kleid in einer Auslage“. Gute Mode transportiert eine Vision, eine Idee, ein Statement und eine Geschichte …

… und Mode ist Kommerz …

Ja, klar und Mode ist auch Kommerz. Na und? Was wird darüber nur immer soviel gejammert. Wir alle arbeiten hart und dafür bekommen wir Geld. Ich sehe daran nichts A-moralisches.

Verfolgst Du die Modeszene in Deiner alten Heimat - in Ex-Jugoslawien? Wien versteht sich ja als Drehscheibe zum Balkan und Osten, viele Modepreisträger des festival for fashion & photography der vergangenen Jahre haben Wurzeln dort …

Mein Jugowurzeln kann ich nicht verstecken, in den Silhouetten meiner Kollektionen, der handwerklichen Verarbeitung schwingt immer auch ein bisschen das Echo meiner Kindheit in Dalmatien mit. Die Modedesignszene in Kroatien ist nicht so spannend, in Serbien gibt es stärkere Positionen finde ich, was wohl auch mit der Underground Kultur durch die langjährige Isolation zu tun hat. Es gibt ein paar Leute, die ich innovativ finde: Dioralop (dioralop.org), Peter Movrin und Young@Squat in Slowenien finde ich interessant. (www.platinumlovemagazine.com)

The Fashion Socializer

I meet Branko Popovic in Maastricht, he meets me in Vienna, virtually, really on Skype. For one charming hour we chat about “all the world and his wife”, fashion and Vienna. The occasion: this year for the first time Branko is a member of the jury for the Austrian Fashion Awards 13. Born a Croatian, as a twelve-year-old he had to flee from the Yugoslavian War to the Netherlands. There he is now a busy blogger, fashion designer and co-founder of the young Fashionclash (festival) in Maastricht. He tells me why he believes in the experimental fashion scene in Vienna and why fashion is maybe more interesting than art these days.

By Antje Mayer

This year you are on the jury of the Austria Fashion Awards for the first time. Have you discovered any Austrian design talents?

Sure! The rule was to make two nominations in the category “Young Designer”, and after a tough struggle with myself I finally had five (!) on my list (he laughs). In Vienna there are creative people with very interesting and unconventional approaches to fashion, which is partly due, of course, to such mentors as Bernhard Wilhelm at the University for Applied Art. He is “really avant-garde”! My thesis: good schools close at hand, lots of talent close at hand.

That also applies to the small Dutch town of Maastricht, where you are active as a designer and “fashion socializer”?

The fashion scene in little Maastricht is very lively. I think there are a few characteristics that enliven the creative scene in a city: again, the good schools, the handicraft skills, the geographic situation – France, Germany and Belgium surround us as close neighbours – and a genuine will to encourage not only the established stars but also the experimental scene. If only the mainstream is supported only the mainstream survives.

Oh well, in that respect Vienna would have a great deal to offer!

Yes, certainly. I have been following the scene there for the past three years. Something is bursting out. At our interdisciplinary Fashionclash Festival in Maastricht, which has been devoted to the discovery of young talents since 2009 – and by now very successfully – this year we have an Austrian on the list of invitees, for the first time: Emre Tamer. I find his works really strong.

Just one among 150 designers!? Oh well, better than none. I just referred to you – a bit cheekily – as a “fashion socializer”. Does that concept fit you?

As a twelve-year-old I emigrated from Croatia to the Netherlands to escape the war in Yugoslavia. In the end we fled with a suitcase full of clothes. That was all we took. As the last generation of “Tito Pioneers” my social vein is a heritage, you might say, that I introduced to the West (he laughs). When I design fashion my starting point is always a social theme, which you can see in my collections “Passenger” or “On the Road”. I regularly write my fashion blog brankopopovicblog and as a co-founder I am always intensely involved in the Fashionclash Festival. Fashion has the power to communicate. You stick a person into a bit of fashion and that “power” then runs through the world. That’s fantastic!

Is that why fashion exhibitions have been so popular in museums recently?

Fashion reflects social developments much faster and more directly than art. It combines such disciplines as performance, installation, art and music. Isn’t there a German word: “Gesamtkunstwerk”? Fashion is much more than just “a dress in a display window”. Good fashion carries a vision, an idea, a statement and a story …

… and fashion is commerce …

Yes of course, and fashion is always commerce as well. So what? Why is such a fuss always made about that? We all work hard and get money for it. I don’t see anything amoral about that.

Do you follow the fashion scene in your old home – former Yugoslavia? Vienna sees itself as a gateway to the Balkans and the East, and many prizewinning fashion designers at the festival for fashion & photography in past years have had their roots there …

I can’t hide my Yugo-roots: in the silhouettes of my collections and the craft processes there is always some echo of my childhood in Dalmatia in the mix. The fashion design scene in Croatia is not so exciting, there are stronger positions in Serbia, I think, which no doubt has something to do with the underground culture due to long years of isolation. There are a few people I find creative: Dioralop (dioralop.org), and I find Peter Movrin and Young@Squat in Slovenia interesting. (www.platinumlovemagazine.com)

Christmas Late Night Shopping - mit Topmodel Susie Bick

image

Das McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Parndorf lädt heuer zum ersten Mal zum Christmas Late Night Shopping, wo die Weihnachtssaison feierlich eröffnet wird. Nachdem wir leider wegen Erkrankung eine kurzfristige Absage von Erin O´Connor bekommen haben, ist es uns gelungen, eine nicht minder spannende Frau für das Event zu gewinnen! Denn nun lässt nach Andrej Pejic in diesem Jahr Susie Bick, Topmodel und Ehefrau von Nick Cave,die Lichter am Weihnachtsbaum erstrahlen.

Susie Bick wurde im Alter von 14 Jahren von Steven Meisel entdeckt. Geboren wurde sie im englischen Chesire, verbrachte ihre Kindheit aber als Tochter eines Diplomaten in Malawi und Nigeria. Bick arbeitete mit den besten internationalen Modefotografen wie David Bailey, Dominique Isserman, Guy Bourdin, Helmut Newton und Sarah Moon und wurde bekannt durch die ikonische Fotografie „Susie Smoking” von Nick Knight. Sie wurde u. a. für Yohji Yamamoto fotografiert und arbeitete über zehn Jahre ausgiebig für Vivienne Westwood. 1997 beendete sie ihre Modelkarriere, als sie den Musiker Nick Cave traf, den sie zwei Jahre später heiratete und mit dem sie Zwillingssöhne hat.

What is it all about? Artist Dora Budor on her work for 13 festival

image

(c) Joshua Citarella

As a commissioned artist, art director and photographer, Croatian-born Dora Budor realized this year´s campaign for festival for fashion & photography. Here is what she told us about it:

Dora, could you please briefly explain the concept behind the campaign for 13 festival for fashion & photography?

The idea behind the campaign is to address the ideas of transparency and advancement of technology - using tech gadgets that doesn’t exist yet or are still in stage of ideas - glass devices with moving circuits, wavy or human sized screens. Product placement, economy of image postproduction and aesthetics of electronics advertisements were used as tropes present in contemporary image production - technical images that serve as models for actions, and as reflection of possible future scenarios.

What part did the clothes by Anna-Sophie Berger play?

The collection ‘Fashion is Fast’ conceptually corresponds to ideas proposed in the shoot, therefore I used them as uniforms for the models. I was interested in their uniformity and process of moodboarding inspiration from official outfits of female political figures, as well as combination of perfection in form and low-quality images used as prints. The internet has always conjured utopian fantasies of interconnectedness-a perfected way for minds to come together freed of the baggage of the physical body.

Circulation, popularity and fast-spreading quality of the ‘Poor Image’ on internet enables the ideas to spread faster than ever, and not only reach most secluded parts of the world, but also act as an immediate starting point for the conversation.

What exactly is it that interests you about fashion?

I am not specifically interested in fashion, as much as I am interested in situations where clothes are used to represent power, ideas and status. The sociological and psychological effects of representing oneself through clothes is extremely powerful, and as a non-verbal communicator transfer ideas very directly.

How do technology and fashion correlate?

Technology and fashion are blending together, using each other to package their products better: technological innovations are used to make clothes interactive, warmer, responding to environment changes, while technology is using fashion to make its products more appealing and speak the language of their target audiences.

What do you want people to come to their minds when they see the campaign?

To have a feeling that they have seen these images before, but never in this constellation.

So, we hope you share this feeling and enjoy her images as much as we do!
