Inez and Vinoodh film Kate Moss at Balmain

Fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin premiered their new video of Kate Moss on NOWNESS last month where they secretly filmed supermodel Kate Moss during their Fall/Winter 2010/2011 campaign photoshoot for fashion house Balmain. Inez and Vinoodh added a few 'extra' elements to spruce up the black and white short film, including the eerie soundtrack Everglade by Anthony & Johnson and some slithering, animated friends, courtesy of artist Jo Ratcliffe and Bouwine Pool for Sherbet:


I love the cartoonish element of this video, especially teamed with the use of black and white in the film. The original inspiration for my images did come from a cartoon character and I do not want to lose sight of this in my advert. The images for my project also do work really well in black and white but I worried that the use of black and white in an outdoor advertisement might not be attention grabbing enough- so the way they constantly played with and transformed Kate Moss's hair colour in the film was really inspirational to me.
