Bella Freud makes new film for her collection (3-minute long film)  

Posted by: BAS in



Bella Freud will promote her latest collection entitled Demonstration in a short film written by Hanif Kureishi.

The Buddha of Suburbia author is working with the designer and The Queen director Stephen Fears to produce the three-minute movie.

Freud has embarked on similar projects before, previously working with John Malkovich on films to promote her autumn/winter 1999 collection Strap Hanging and 2000's Lady Behave.

According to Vogue, she told the February edition of Tatler that Kureishi has been keen to offer his opinions on the fashion world.

"Hanif's like, 'Well, Bells, this is a gig for your clothes, but I don't want the clothes to be the stars - it's the person who lights up the clothes'," Freud said.

The film version of Strap Hanging is set on a train and based around the story of a Japanese man with inflatable pants.

Several models took part in the project back in 1999, generating interest in the follow-up which was shown at New York Fashion Week and featured Laura Bailey and Jodie Kidd.

My Overall opinion:
I think if the film is to show that her clothing is not just made for stars, then I dont think she should have stars in the roles like last time.
