What do you think about the relation between Fashion and Cinema? In what way do you think fashion film could help both industries?

There have been many interesting examples of interactions between fashion and cinema. For instance, Audrey Hepburn, Hubert de Givenchy and Billy Wilder did a fantastic work together – they invented a certain woman. Fashion films bring down boundaries between different fields and engage them in a dialogue, hence its terrific potential for innovation.

Rei Kawakubo and Vivienne Westwood.

I’m a director, and that’s what I want to be. I’m still at the start of my career, so I still have a lot to do and to learn. I’m working on my first feature film now, when I’ve finished that project, I’ll be a director for real.
