"Move On".
Claire Barrow and Eloise Parry collaborated together making a short film that symbolises a focus on change within our lives and leaving the past behind. Eloise Parry's short film reflects on the bittersweet change of subcultures and style and how the past is being put to bed as we enter a new fashion period within history.
“Move On represents a milestone for us, a change in the direction of our careers and lives, and putting the past to bed,”- Claire Barrow, Dazed and Confused interview September 2016.
“The collection itself was a study of historical dress,” - Claire Barrow, Dazed and Confused interview September 2016. The collection of historical clothing was delightful and intense throughout the film, I use the word delightful as you can relate and reflect on the past with each unique model featured within the film. Each garment within Barrows collection brings a sense of nostalgia as you follow history with every "look", reminding you of the subculture, behaviour, historical, political and social influence all attached to each garment. The generation of today still attach styles to different subcultures yet they no longer hold the same political and social value, in history clothing created identities, independence and personal value, today clothing is simply replicated and reproduced for the sake of financial values and branding.
This collection celebrates and reflects on the past to welcome the present, but also represents the dying diversity and unique values fashion and style once held in history.
