"I HATE MY COLLECTION": Saint Martins unveiled

Summer 2011. The new chapter of Central Saint Martins history starts. The historic and important college will move from its Soho site and join other branches of Central Saint Martins in a new purpose-built development in King’s Cross. As it is the end of an era for this legendary institution, I have found it meaningful to make a documentary film about the art college and the old St Martins school building on Charing Cross Road.

Antonio Berardi part one

For the last few days our crew was following Antonio Berardi. Quite unexpecteadly. Well actually we have planed to film during fashion week, but he stoped answering my e-mails about a month ago so I wasnt sure if it was happening. And then on Saturday morning he called me saying that we can film tomorrow. It was quite stressful to put togather the whole production thing with such a short notice but at the end it all went really well. 

We filmed his fashion show, backstage, fitting and on Tuesday we did an interview in Great Eastern Dining room, which was really really fascinating. He was talking about Saint Martins ( obviously ) but also about night life of Saint Martins students in the early 90s ( he would go out 7 days a week with his tutors and as the result almost failed the course) plus he was working for John Galliano at that time and had to go to college sometimes. Quite a schedule!!! 

His charm was overwhelming and his show was a pure beauty.


I will upload the first part of the pictures we took, from the show… more to come

All pictures are taken by our brilliant photographer Hugo Yanguela

[Flash 10 is required to watch video]

Central Saint Martins BA show. We did a trial test shoot, just to see how everything works. Amazing experience, might include some of the footage to the film … but its too early to think about it now. So here’s the video of Sorcha O’Raghallaigh final collection. One of the most exciting indeed!!!  That’s what Saint Martins is really about, wild creativity, eccentrisity, uniquness and going completly over the top. You might not agree though …
