Press Release
Elfieloves presents ‘Forgotten Things Garage Sale’ at The GRV, Edinburgh, 12 December 2007
The Forgotten Things Garage Sale, taking place at The GRV, on December 12th, is a beautiful and distinctive collection of all my ‘forgotten things’.
With an extensive collection of vintage dresses, kitsch interiors and retro records, it takes you on a stylistic tour of a very bohemian past.
Garage Sale: Diana Kiernander
Expect plastic jewellery, Chanel shoes, Biba skirts & Kate Bush vinyl, for the best in fairytale Christmas shopping.
Everything on display was owned by me whilst working as a stylist in London.
The story created here is so full of colour, love and nostalgic threads it ought to be a film.
And so the fashion short, ‘4 Ribbons to Hokoten’ was created for this event. Shot on super 8 and digital, it tells the story of a dress that time travels through three generations and across continents. It’s about mothers, daughters, love, loss and the importance of dressing up. A fashion story with elements of fantasy and surrealism, the stylized moving images are intended to simultaneously flow and jar with the narrative structure. Featuring Missy Malone & Erik Sandberg (Wake the President / Say Dirty records), and directed by Diana Kiernander, it is an engaging interpretation of how our clothes can say so much.
For one night, the GRV will be transformed into a glorious vintage wonderland.
A giant dress up box for grown up girls and beatnik boys! A fantasy fleamarket of retro glitter and worn down sparkles. Clothes and cameras and songs and stories from the past. It’s very rock ‘n’ doll. It’s the soundtrack to my world.
The GRV, Guthrie Street (off Chambers Street), Edinburgh
Diana Kiernander is fashion editor at Model Folios and a freelance stylist.
