We are a group of young filmmakers passionate about documentary and immersive filmmaking. We come from all different backgrounds and although fashion might not be on the top of all our minds, the question of people and their relationships with their clothes is an interesting topic for all of us. It is something we can all relate to as clothing is so personal despite not being conscious of this fact.
Lowri Roberts
Producer and Director My wardrobe consists of mainly autumny colours. I tend to like well worn clothes, not shiny, new ones. Knitted garments are my absolute favourite, so as much as I do love summer, I do miss my cosy jumpers and scarves during those sunny days. It’s only on rare occasions that I am fully happy with what I’m wearing. Body shape self consciousness definitely plays a massive part in this. I often see clothes that I really like but don’t think I can quite ‘pull off’, I get a lot of clothe envy. Poppy Joung Director of photography and Co-producer My style is definitely influenced by hip-hop culture with a mixture of different sub-culture elements, goth/ punk/ skin-head. It depends how I feel that day really! I used to wear all black but since moving to Bristol and being surrounded by constant fashion inspiration I wear a lot more colour nowadays, and now I feel underconfident if I’m wearing all black. I tend to shop mostly in charity/vintage shops with the occasional new piece from Lazy Oaf or Fred Perry. I’ve become very environmentally conscious lately so I try not to buy too many “new” things. |
Kiki Nafig
Art director My comfort blanket outfit is currently black high-waisted mom jeans, mixed with an old beige varsity jacket and brown doc marten shoes. I often wear neutral outfits, and experiment more with my make-up, however I wish I added more colour and thought to how I dress. I love Japanese street style and am particularly attracted to combining punk and old-timey elements. I also like the seapunk subculture fashion which emerged in 2011, but feel hesitant to wear these myself as the styles garner public attention because they aren’t the status-quo. |
Benedetta De Vincenzi
Web designer I usually choose my outfit depending on the location and circumstances. I adopt a casual-sporty style to go to University and for the day-time. To go out at night, or to go at some events, I usually wear black and more elegant garments, but always basic and comfortable. In my wardrobe there are items of different styles: there is something skater, something vintage, something from the 90s, something elegant and mostly clothes of three basic colors: black, gray, blue. Perhaps this mix of styles is a sign of a indecisive and confused personality? Probably. |
Cameron Sander
Editor and Still photographer My style is primarily influenced by skate culture. I have never been a skater myself, but the music and video games that surrounded the culture particularly in the 00’s completely shaped my clothing choices. None of my clothes are particularly diverse; I own a pair of blue jeans and a pair of black jeans, and these are always combined with a t-shirt. My t-shirt collection is about 50% black, and comprises of either skate brands like Element or independent clothing companies that myself or a friend photograph for, as these are often given to me for free. I love shoes but I only ever own one pair at a time, and for the past 6 years they have always been Nike SB’s. I think my clothing would seem extremely minimalistic but it’s mostly because i’m extremely picky, especially when it comes to colour, resulting in a wardrobe covered with black, navy, grey and white. My body shape is also a huge deciding factor; i’m skinny so it’s hard to find things that fit well. There are very few clothes that I feel like I can ‘pull off’, which is a shame because I do like clothes a lot. |
Jacob Crow-Mains
Camera During my adult life, style has become a lot less important to me. As a teenager I think my style was influenced primarily through what my friends were wearing and what was considered to be 'cool' at the time. These days I rarely buy new clothes or put thought into my outfit. If I had to label my style I would say it's very minimalistic, with neutral colours such as greys and blacks. occasionally i'll get given something a bit more exciting. It was a conscious decision to care less about my external appearance, I would prefer to be judged on my words and actions opposed to the clothes I wear. However I appreciate style as a form of expression and understand how it can be an important aspect in someone's life. |
Lizzie Meaker
Assistant Director It’s only recently, that I’ve become confident with my style and selecting clothes for my body type. I wear mostly black and on rare occasions add one piece of colour to my outfit. Everyday my mood influences my style. I tend to make more of an effort with my clothing when I am feeling fed up and have low self-esteem. When I am satisfied with my style I gain confidence, become more productive and feel more social. When I feel confident, I will throw on sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt to laze in. I’ve realised that when I make an effort with my clothes, hair or make-up, I care about how people identify my style. Whereas, when I don’t make such an effort with my clothes, hair or make-up, I don’t care how others perceive me because I feel indistinguishable. I like that feeling, of not being identified each day. |
