Déjà vu (literally "already seen") is the impression of being sure to have already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the prior encounter are uncertain and were perhaps imagined. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity. The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience has genuinely happened in the past.

Believe it or not, that’s exactly what I’m currently experiencing. Right at this moment, I have a strong sense that the December/January 2012 cover of Vogue Paris already happened at least once in the past and I have the evidence, or Kate “twig” Moss, to prove it. Indeed, the “twig” is gracing (again?) the cover as David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust with the full hair and make-up to make the resemblance, well, uncanny!

So what was I saying, “Déjà Vu” right? At least, whenever I look at the current French Vogue cover. Indeed, each time I do, feelings of eeriness, weirdness or as Freud himself would put it, the Uncanny, suddenly take over me and I find myself wondering why would that be and when exactly did I first live this exact situation?

A little sleuth work seemed necessary and then, there I had it, Vogue UK, back in May 2003, Kate Moss again as David Bowie AGAIN, bar the mullet hair but still in the Ziggy Stardust spirit.

Well Emmanuelle, believe me not but that’s nothing to be proud of. Already reputed to be boring, you can add to your list of non-accomplishments, a true lack of imagination.

Replacing Carine Roitfeld was fine, but replacing her with a vulgaire copycat, surely, Vogue’s niche readers deserve better.

Versace for H&M is still on the shelves of the swedish brand shops and the next collaboration is already made public: it's MARNI's turn.

The Italian maison synonym of colours, superpositions and mix of textures, is faithfull to its identity and proposes very graphic silhouettes with a tribal twist. Pleated skirts, ankle trousers and of course an excellent range of chunky accessories one won't be able to resist.

The collection will be available from the 8th of March, meanwhile, as an appetizer, enjoy the making-off's video of the campaing shooting:

MARNI for H&M | SPRING-SUMMER 2012 | AVAILABLE FROM THE 8TH OF MARCH 2012

Amid the many great brands of prêt-à-porter and the numerous famous designers that exist nowadays, it may happen, from time to time for a young unknown talent who seems destined to great things, to be noticed by the crowd. It is the case of Victor von Schwarz, an ultra young fashion designer who, with his brand new collection ABISALIA, seems ready to come out of the shadows to follow the path of other former young Catalan fashion geniuses such as Manuel Bolaño.

Victor von Swcharz, of Russan origin and living in Barcelona has worked with  Josep Font and Bibian Blue before deciding to create his own label : VVS. With ABISALIA, his second collection, he wishes to take us to the deep end of the ocean by reinventing the rockish wardrobe basics. His studded silks, leathers and wools with crystal ornaments will take us to the ABYSAL deserts.

ASVOFF Barcelona is proud to launch 3 competitions of its own: OFFICIAL,STUDENTS and MOBILE FASHION FILM. The students competitions will run in conjunction with notable fashion design, film, and art schools throughout the world. Thanks to the collaboration of Barcelona’s city council, the world’s first mobile phone fashion film competition will be launched. ASVOFF will be held at CaixaForum Barcelona from 24th -27th, January, 2012. Submission forms and information about the 3 competitions can be found @ www.asvoff.es, competitions close 1st of January, 2012.

Traditionally, fashion has been associated with the static image of photography. The best photographers have participated in runways, promotional campaigns and adverts, however moving image in fashion, has had less importance in the cinematographic world, even though great campaigns have been created and the fact that it’s a format that allows for diverse, leading-edge directions. With this objective in mind, Diane Pernet created A Shaded View on Fashion Film in 2008, a festival completely dedicated to film and fashion and inspired by her own blog A Shaded View on Fashion where this critic, photographer and fashion pioneer exposes today’s cutting edge fashion and art and discovers new talent. The annual festival is held in Paris and cities linked to fashion and creative discovery, like New York, Tokyo, Mexico City, Moscow and London. These capital cities are now joined by Barcelona.

THE MUSE, THE INSPIRATION

The festival includes a “BEST OF” selection curated by Diane Pernet, presenting films from ASVOFF’s previous 4 editions and a competition section with 3 categories: Official, Students and Mobile Phone.

The OFFICIAL& STUDENTS categories, judged by an esteemed international jury of film critics, actors, curators, creative directors, fashion designers, editors, journalists and photographers, will make up the ASVOFF BARCELONA JURY, with prizes for Best Film, Best Art Direction, Best Soundtrack, and Best Director of Fashion. The student category will also receive 1 prize for Best Student Film. In both case, the inspiration for making the official and student films will be divided into two themes: the muse and (to) amuse. The members of the jury include luminaries such as: Glen Adamson, curator, V&A Museum in London; Francesca Thyssen from Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary in Vienna; Alanna Heiss, founder and past director of PS 1 Contemporary Art Centre in New York; Linda Loppa, director of the Polimoda Fashion Institute in Florence; and Joachim Schirrmacher, member of the German Society for Design Theorie and Research, who will decide the best short films, from the two categories OFFICIAL and STUDENTS and select prize winners, receiving an exclusive sculpture made by artist Miguel Villalobos.

NEWNESS IN BARCELONA

The Barcelona edition will be innovative in launching the worlds first MOBILE FASHION FILM COMPETITION where 1 prize will be awarded to the best short film produced on a mobile phone. These films should be less than one minute long, “oneshot” (un-edited) or edited, with all films hosted online on the festivals website, for viewing and public voting. In conjunction with the mobile competition, Lorea Iglesias, coordinator of the Barcelona MovilFilmFest and an opinion leader in art produced on mobile phones, presents a selection of the best short mobile fashion films to be screened during the festival. This award, supported by the Barcelona City Council, is open to public of all ages but above all, the festival is interested in the young participants that will reinforce the international and avant-garde character of the festival and continue the link between Barcelona and the new technologies industry, as has been proven by the several editions of the Mobile World Congress held in the city.

The BEST OF ASVOFF is a curated selection of films by Diane Pernet, amongst them, two documentaries by Mike Figgis (including Vivienne Westwood and The four dreams of Miss X starring Kate Moss), Lust Lust by Martins Grauds (three times festival winnerASVOFF 2010); City Limits by Kris Moyes, Glen Luchford with Tilda Swinton by Glen Luchford and Valentino Masters of Style by Madeleine Czingler.

Charo Mora, a fashion critic and curator based in Barcelona, presents Carte Blanche “Narraciones”, a selection of short films recalling the visual memory of Spanish fashion through rare and partly unseen documentaries. The Out of Competition section includes the film: “Hermès: les mains d’Hermès”.

ABOUT DIANE PERNET

Diane Pernet is a worldrenowned fashion critic and video journalist based in Paris. Previously a photographer and fashion designer, she now acts as documentary filmmaker, talent scout and fashion blogger on her site, A SHADED VIEW ON FASHION (www.asvof.com), which has become a ‘mustread’ in fashion and creative industry circles. As one of the most recognizable faces in fashion, she has also been captured on the other side of the movie camera through cameo appearances in Robert Altman’s film, ‘Prêt-à-Porter’ and in Roman Polanski’s ‘The Ninth Gate’.

While contributing to some of the most highly acclaimed fashion magazines and pioneering online media, Pernet launched ASVOFF in 2008. As the founder of the world’s first film festival dedicated to fashion, style and beauty, she is widely considered to have incubated the ‘fashion film’ from its infancy to the popular genre that it is becoming today. Pernet is not only credited with providing the first platform of its kind for the ‘fashion film’ genre to evolve and flourish, but also with helping ‘fashion film’ fulfill many of its early promises which were to revolutionize the fashion industry, breathe life into static photography, offer a new outlet to filmmakers – and to trigger several important commercial, business and digital media opportunities across the fashion and movie industries.
