Lady White Snake

I just wrapped up teaching my first semester of sophomore pattern making and draping at Pratt this week. My wonderful students just finished up their critique on their final project, a blouse and a coordinating skirt inspired by the FIT Daphne Guinness exhibition. Earlier in the semester we went to the exhibition and the students documented 10 looks that inspired them. However, I found little inspiration in the garments themselves. The most inspiring element of the exhibit was the video above. A preview of the film The Legend of Lady White Snake directed by Indrani and style by GK Reid. I've worked with GK before with the twentyten and watched Idrani, Markus, and GK on their Bravo show, Double Exposure. It was a pleasant surprise to learn of their involvement in this great film that really set the mood of the exhibit. It's quite a dramatic video with some stunning looks.
