The 2nd biennial Fashion in Film Festival kicks off today. A five-venue extravaganza “‘If Looks Could Kill’ explores the compelling links between cinema, fashion, crime and violence”. Aganovich provided a catalogue illustration for the film ‘Leave Her To Heaven’, the tale of an immaculately groomed and murderous wife with a suspiciously strong attachment to her dead father. Rare films dating back to 1908 will be shown over the next 3 weeks across London.
The blurb:
“Founded in 2005 by curators Marketa Uhlirova and Christel Tsilibaris and costume designer and stylist Roger K. Burton, it quickly established itself as a leading forum for research and the retrospective exhibition of international film in which fashion and clothes play a significant part. Drawing on a rich film history from its beginnings to the present, and a wide variety of genres ranging from feature and documentary film to artist video, animation shorts and newsreels, FFF investigates how the moving image has represented and interpreted fashion as a concept, industry and cultural form.”

We are pleased to announce that our long time supporters Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo of Ladytron have chosen Aganovich to provide stage outfits for their forthcoming ‘Velocifero’ world tour. With their darkly intellectual/sexual aesthetic we couldn’t think of two better pop/rock stars to carry the Aganovich torch.
You can find details of the tour on Myspace:

More manifesto than manicure but has anyone else noticed that you can zoom in on Guantanamo Bay on Google Maps…?!! Looking forward to them including the Street View facility…On which note we’ve been reading about REX 84, a presidential directorate signed by the supremo golly-gee King of Xenophobia Ronald Reagan apparently allowing FEMA to construct ‘concentration camps’ on US domestic soil..
Red Dawn or Red Herring? Judge for yourself with some links below:

Global Research Document on REX 84
By the way we couldn’t find any of the ‘800 camps’ on Google Maps. Must be a conspiracy…

Slightly surreal but good for a giggle. We of the oh-so-deep-thoughts on handbag.com with 2007 Britain’s Next Top Model winner Lauren McAvoy filming ‘a day in the life..’ for Vauxhall Tigra.
Lauren’s an absolute charm by the way and we wish her all the best.
