The best shorts in the history of the Fashion Film Festival Milano The event that celebrates the creative fusion between fashion and cinema

Founded and directed by Constanza Cavalli Etro, the Fashion Film Festival Milano is an international event that celebrates the creative fusion of fashion and cinema. Yet, perhaps, calling it a festival is a bit simplistic, given that over the years it has become a highly expected moment of cultural meeting in which fashion films from all over the world are presented by their respective authors to express the changes that the fashion system is experiencing, through major social issues, such as gender equality, sustainability and inclusivity. Now in its eighth edition and in collaboration with the Chamber of Fashion, the FFFM 2022 will be staged from 14 to 18 January in a hybrid version between online streaming and live events, as with the two exhibitions in the Urban center space of the Municipality of Milan at the Triennale exhibition space. Among the fashion films is also included "A night at the museum", the short film whose art director is Jordan Anderson, editor at large of nss magazine, in collaboration with Moncler, in which, through movement, music and fashion, a group of women has forged a visual narrative that speaks of the decomposition and reconstruction of an artistic space of which they are both creators and an integral part.

Thanks to this event, the medium of fashion film is celebrated for its ability to combine artistic expressions, idioms, points of view, aesthetic and narrative codes. On the occasion of the new edition, here is our selection of the most beautiful shorts presented during these 8 years of the Festival.

72 hours in André Balazs’ Chateau Marmont - Floria Sigismondi

Commissioned by the French maison and produced by Archimede srl (a production company founded in 2000 by Garrone himself), Le Mythe Dior draws on an idyllic imagination to unveil the new Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2020-2021 collection. Matteo Garrone once again stages his fairytale poetics to tell a story, a hymn to beauty and femininity, to the tune of the song composed for the occasion by Paolo Buonvino. The seamstresses of Dior's atelier are engaged in the creation of sophisticated miniature models conceived to capture the attention of customers who are nothing short of special, such as mermaids, fauns and nymphs, beautiful and ethereal women who seem to come straight out of "The Tale of Tales", perhaps the most iconic and representative film of Garrone's aesthetics.
