I had the honor of being involved in the making of a Fashion Film Produced by the incredibly talented Elena Velez and directed by Kyle Kadow & Steven Cleavland. Keep scrolling to view a handful of my shots from the project.
Machine Shop from Kyle Kadow on Vimeo.
“Thanks to the city’s large industrial base, “Milwaukee was the “Machine Shop to the World,” factories quickly retooling and mobilizing for wartime production”.
Over 5 days, with a community crowd-sourced budget, over 25 multidisciplinary Milwaukee artists created Machine Shop, released in tandem with the capsule collection And Carry On. Working with an array of local shops, boutiques, and community artisans, Machine Shop captures the industrial beauty of Milwaukee through 6 iconic locations specific to the inspiration of the adjunct fashion collection. The film is organized into vignettes relative to the themes of the collection including architecture, warfare, and femininity, and is accompanied by spoken word written and recited by Bethany Price.
