7 FASHION FESTIVAL IN VIENNA JUNE 2007

The theoretical and scientific discourse on the subject of fashion was a decisive factor in the Unit F büro für mode since their first project. The goal: to increase awareness of fashion's cultural merits - beyond decorative prettification - as well as to lend international visibility to the potential and dynamics of the fashion design scene. To date, this discourse took place in small, mostly university circles. Now for the second time after the huge success of last year's lecture series the subject of fashion and its interdisciplinary approach will be explored on a grand scale with international lectures.

Fashion and film : You wear it well
"You wear it well" seeks to explore shorter-format films and videos that investigate the intersection of fashion and film -- films that cast fashion (as well as style and beauty) in the leading role. In addition to soliciting films and videos from fashion designers, filmmakers and artists already exploring this creative intersection in their work, we conduct an annual Open Call for submissions from creatives around the world. A jury of fashion and film professionals selects the best of the best and from there, Diane Pernet and Dino Dinco create the traveling presentation known as "You wear it well".
