Diane Pernet's Fashion Film festival

Launching September 26 in Paris, Diane Pernet's inaugural A Shaded View on Fashion Film Festival is poised to become the Sundance of the emerging 'fashion film' artform.

Diane Pernet, a former fashion designer, is known for her distinctive look (a giant beehive, mantilla veil, cat eye sunglasses and crimson lips). She also has one of the most influential blogs in fashion, A Shaded View on Fashion, in which she reports from the outer extremes of the cutting edge, giving face time to events, designers and nations that are often overlooked by the mainstream fashion media.

A Shaded View on Fashion Film Festival, or ASVOFF, launches at the Jeu de Paume contemporary art musuem and features entries by Colombian director Jessica Mitrani (her film is about one Mary Jane shoe), Italian director Francesco Carrozzini, and British director Malcolm Pate, among others.

ASVOFF will debut at the Jeu de Paume museum in Paris on 26 September. Click here for more information, or to submit for ASVOFF 2009.
