This is a look at the avant-garde New York fashion collective threeASFOUR which is made up of Gabi Asfour, Angela Donhauser, and Adi Gil.
I really can't review this film. As portrait of the designers and artists its a very good look at their lives and work. Shot with with a wonderful style by Sean Ono Lennon and Brian C. Gonzalez, the film is a visual delight. The film is very much, like the clothing the collective makes, is work of art.
The problem for me is I never really cared. The collective seemed distant and far away from this mere mortal. Sure they connect with their clients, such as Bjork, but for me the fact that their work will never have any connection to me other than as a stage prop or as something a fabulously wealthy person wears kept me outside. Sure it looks great but who are they making these weird things for?
While I have a mixed relationship with fadhion docs, I tend to connect because the design of the clothes remains something anyone could wear, here it's something else.
three ASFOUR was not for me, but it might be for you, so if you feel you might connect give it a try.
