Lady in black, what can’t she do?
Paris-based Diane Pernet is a fixture on the fashion scene, with her towering black hair and all-black clothing. A photographer and fashion designer in the 1980s, she’s now a talent scout, documentary filmmaker and fashion blogger. She’s also the curator, along with photographer-artist Dino Dinco, of “You Wear It Well,” a fashion film festival being held Tuesday at Cinespace in Hollywood.
An open call appeared on her website, ashadedviewonfashion.com, in May, and since then more than 25 films have come in, from designers Martin Margiela, Jeremy Scott, Kim Jones, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Bernard Wilhelm, illustrator Ruben Toledo, photographer Nick Knight and others. One film, shot in an afternoon by Brazilian photographer Marcelo Krasilcic, stars Chloe Sevigny trying on clothes.
“These are not fashion shows,” Pernet said. “They are entertaining, from Jeremy Scott’s ‘Dynasty’-like film with Tori Spelling to Maison Martin Margiela’s, which shows 30 cafes in Paris at the same time.”
The films will screen continuously from 7 to 10 p.m.
