A fantastic multi-day festival dedicated to fashion film of the experimental and fabulous kind. The previews are interesting to look at, the performers including: My name is Claude, the judges Diane Pernet, Tavi.... A who's who of fashion and "it" status. Whenever I think of the Centre - it takes me back to History II and the final presentation that I did with a fellow architecture student about: Renzo Piano. The Centre is as unique as the event! I cannot wait to see it in person. During our presentation we used colors to identify the workings of the different pipes on the outside. The unconventional arrangement of the structure allows for maximum space allocation.
