Dressed Up for Summer 2015 offers an exclusive sneak peak into the happenings in fashion for Spring Summer of 2015. French director Loïc Prignet and fashion reporter (Agnès Boulard) are back with their series Dressed Up For…, exploring the fashion world from Summer to Winter. This bi-annual television program offers a humorous, yet insightful, account into the world of fashion.
From the streets of London, to the house of Dior in Paris, leading lady Mademoiselle Agnès runs around on 5-inch heels, guiding us from one runway to another. Prignet has no hesitation in sticking the camera lens in the faces of fashion creatives including Jeremy Scott and Diane von Fürstenberg.
In the heart of the action, it’s only natural that the impeccably dressed Mademoiselle Agnès and her alter ego explore the business, the trends, the people, and the gossips – all in the name of fashion of course.
In a spoof-tacular reflection on the last 30 years of fashion, Mademoiselle Agnès comically explores typical women of 1984, 1994 and 2004. Placed sporadically throughout the documentary, the film begins with a hilarious characterization of the typical 1984 woman where Mademoiselle Agnès immerses into glamorous outfits, vibrant fabrics and extravagant seduction.
Dressed Up for Summer 2015 demonstrates that the fashion industry is not all glitz and glamour, with the launch of new star-designer J.W Anderson’s first collection and the chaotic agenda of Vogue Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Dressed up for Summer is showcased at ACMI as part of the VAMFF Cultural Program. Screenings run until Sunday 8 March 2015. For more information click here.
