Fnord: Annie - Heartbeat (MSTRKRFT remix) 50's Dream Vid

a mix of a contemporary music with a 1950's short film. I love the film as it all about the 1950's vision. Post war and looking to the future, stream lined and mass produced goods, new technologies, the glamourous house wife and new look fashion! this film shows how i want to use the 1950's as an influence on my designs. It wont be the only influence and i am still using my russian crafts - russian nest dollies - as inspiration, but it is to be where i take my colour palette from and design shapes. The film is American which is a down point as i want my collection to be about everything british, a celebration of 50's british style, but as my research has lead me to believe, America did the same things, design wise, as britain just on a more extravagant and wasteful manner. I will be on the look for british films though, but i must admit they are proving hard to come by!
