The second edition of Fashion Films at Swim Week Colombo



A CREATIVE COLLABORATION BETWEEN FILM-MAKERS AND DESIGNERS TO MAKE SHORT FILMS ON A SMARTPHONE!

Swim Week Colombo, with its title partner Olu Tropical Water presents the second edition of Fashion Films at Swim Week Colombo. A collaboration of  two creative streams of fashion and films where film makers work with fashion designers to represent their inspiration and ideas on films shot on smartphones.. This segment will take place on the 30th June and 1st July alongside the designer showcase at Hilton Colombo. 

These films will be then entered into a competition where the best piece will be adjudged. The new initiative is here to stay as fashion films are becoming an important medium in the global fashion industry and this trend will positively impact the Sri Lankan fashion designers industry.

“Film and Fashion go back a long way, both creative expressions rely on each other, and with fashion week we wanted to develop this relationship in an interesting way, each film is shot on smart phones and its each designers creative expression. This is one of our main areas of development and it exposes both industries.” Says Ajai V Singh.
