-DIRECTOR/ FILM/ EDITOR

With high fashion and gaming traditionally separate from one another, SHOWstudio Head of Film Raquel Couceiro and film editor Myles Henrik Hall blur the boundaries in this fashion film. The pair identify the very real influence of popular media–be it comic books, role-player games, cult movies or dystopian fiction–on how we dress in the world, bringing to life nine of pop culture's most recognisable female characters in a combination of contemporary fashion, and clothing from specialist providers.

Follow Couceiro and Hall's lens as their iterations of an angelic character à la Final Fantasy's Lightning to their own version of DC Comics' Harley Quinn are presented in 'hero mode'. Which heroine will you be today?
