Take a 'behind-the-scenes' look at four Australian fashion designers and just what it takes to make it in the often fickle world of fashion. From Sydney to Tokyo, Paris and New York, The Closet Tales Of Australian Fashion explores the working lives of Peter Morrissey, Willow, Lover and Akira Isogowa, revealing how they turn creative inspiration into commercial success. From the birth of ideas through to their inception, implementation and then to a completed fashion collection; this series follows each designer on this exciting and challenging path. Those who embrace their ingenuity and explore its marketability often end up walking a perilous path: one that struggles to find balance between the creative and the commercial. Explored through four half-hour episodes, this series features four of Australian fashion*s seminal, sartorial stars, offering a rare insight into what it takes to succeed and survive in the highly competitive and ever-changing fashion industry. These designers share a similar passion for fashion, but the working realities of their creative pursuits could not be more varied. Nurturing the concept of fashion as art, the series looks at the innovative and imaginative ways the designers explore their medium. Whether the art of fashion design is steeped in history as with Akira Isogowa, or is pop culture driven like Lover, The Closet Tales Of Australian Fashion reveals the distinctive and very personal visions of each of these fashion designers. From the beginning through to the execution of a complete collection, The Closet Tales Of Australian Fashion follows the designers through the creative highs and the commercial lows of putting a range together. From sketching dreams and sourcing fabrics to showcasing the range at an international fashion week and ensuring that the back-end of their business can fill an order and deliver their product on time, this series provides a tantalising behind-the-scenes vista of the chaos and beauty of the world of fashion. | ||||||
