"HIPS" BY NICK KNIGHT FOR SHOWSTUDIO
THE FASHION BODY
An intrepid exploration of the human form through fashion and motion image, the latest SHOWstudio.com in-depth fashion film season The Fashion Body closes with it’s forty-second – and final – film short, created by SHOWstudio.com founder and director Nick Knight.
Inspired by Sissy Bounce – a hip-hop musical genre from the American deep south – and New Orleans dance-hall queen Quack, Knight captures ‘The Hips’ gyrating through the bounce and whobble steps of this latest underground craze, in a filmic style inspired by lo-fi Youtube home movies. These dynamo hips, however, are swathed with the high-octane and eye-popping likes of Alexander Wang, Mark Fast and archive pieces from Alexander McQueen and John Galliano for Dior.
