fashion films

Photographer and filmmaker Jez Tozer and designer Omer Asim team up for the second time to showcase Asim's work in a fashion film. For Spring/Summer 2015, the designer took inspiration from his long-standing fascination with Zar - an ancient Sudanese underground trance sub-culture dealing with trauma, hysteria and relief. Tozer's film takes its story from the same starting point and features performance artist Millie Brown, a long-time collaborator of Tozer who is known for her work with Lady Gaga, amongst others. It explores the traditional Sudanese ritual that women undertake to purge themselves of their evil spirits and to exorcise their repression and sexual frustration.

I like the idea of this film with the film rewinding on the hair as it creates surreal movements.
The way in which the model moves.
