Way back in April we launched a project with International fashion icon Diane Pernet in search of a fashion film that would be featured at A Shaded View on Fashion Film 2010 during Paris’ annual film festival dedicated to Fashion, Style and Beauty! If that wasn’t exciting in and of itself, superstar fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson came on board as a special guest judge.

Die hard fashionistas and emerging fashion filmmakers were given the task to create a short film around the theme of, what else? Fashion! We received so many outstanding submissions and out of these there were 9 finalists. 2 filmmakers were chosen as the winners — one by Diane and the other Tavi — and they are Youngest Indie and Sarah Culbreth!

“Well, I first heard about this competition on Fashionista.com which led me to join Talenthouse.  When I checked out what it was all about, I thought to myself how awesome and wonderful it is to help creative artists to get a chance to showcase their work and take part in really cool projects and opportunities.  I’m very excited and think it’s such a wonderful site.  Thanks again!” — Youngest Indie

‘Hedi Boys’ by Youngest Indie.

A tribute to the amazing Hedi Slimane and a nod to his great influence on rock and roll style, fashion, photography, and culture. This is a rock video and the playdoh characters are wearing looks from my favorite Dior Homme Spring 2006 collection.
