The Ephemera of White

This week is about white!

I came across the work of London based stylist Fred Butler a little while ago - it's often zany and colourful, a bit futuristic and there is a love of craft and unique handmade items. Her skills as a prop maker and her wonderful imagination go beyond. While on her website, i found a film called House of Organza, made for an art event in London in 2009, that really spoke to me of the beauty and transient nature of white.The soft ruffles of the fabric unfold and enclose in a way that is fragile and sensual at the same time and makes for a very beautiful film. The detail of the clothing is really done justice as well, giving the visual closeup while conveying the feel of the light, layered texture of the organza.

I wasn't able to find a video of the whole film to put on the blog, so posted here is a teaser of it, however you can view the actual film (which i recommend) on Fred Butler's website or here at DazedDigital.
