Created by journalist Diane Pernet and launched in September 2008 as a three-day event at the national museum of Paris, Jeu de Paume, ASVOFF which took the form of a full festival showcasing feature films, documentaries, conferences, performances and installations. Pioneering, having brought together names such as Mike Figgis, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Erwin Olaf, Nobuyoshi Araki, WIng Shya, Steven Klein, Chris Cunningham, Chloë Sevigny, Ruth Hogben, Georgie Greville, Elisha Smith-Leverock, Waris Ahluwalla, Maison Yves Saint Laurent, Nick Knight, Johan Renck, Jerry Schatzberg, William Klein, Tim Yip, Larry Clark, Ellen Von Unwerth, Bruce Weber, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Rossy de Palma, Michael Nyman and welcomed by: Centre Pompidou, Jeu de Paume, Milano's Palazzo Morando, FIAF, NYC, Festival du nouveau cinema Montreal, CPH-DOX, Barbican Art Gallery, Guggenheim, Bilbao, Pica Contemporary Art Museum, Perth with the support of Italian Vogue, Bvlgari, Dom Perignon, FIAF and Kering.[1]

Diane Pernet's first degree was in documentary film making at Temple University[2] and she has been making small low-fi movies for years. She also worked as a costume designer for, amongst others, director Amos Gitai. So the founder of ASVOFF knows how important fashion is in a film.[3]

History

Mark Eley of Eley Kishimoto commissioned her to make a road movie for the launch of his new menswear line.[5] It was a short film that documented his participation in the GUMBALL 3000 which was a car race that went from London to Monte Carlo. The 18-minute film was called The Adventure of Pleasure.[6]

She showed the film to Dino Dinco, her Los Angeles collaborator at the time and he asked her if she wanted to screen it in LA. A day later EGR (Enrique Gonzalez Rangel), her Mexico City contributor, sent her a fashion film that he made and Pernet posted it on her blog. The idea to create a travelling fashion film festival had been on the back burner for years before Pernet showed Adventure of Pleasure to Dinco. Dinco chose the name "You Wear It Well," based on a Rod Stewart song.. The first fashion film festival, "You Wear It Well," launched in August 2006, premiering in Los Angeles at Cinespace. Dinco and Pernet arranged a second edition of "You Wear It Well" in 2007.[7][8]

Besides the work of Diane Pernet and EGR, You Wear It Well featured video creations from Maison Martin Margiela, Nick Knight/Alexander McQueen, Jeremy Scott, Bernhard Willhelm, Marcelo Krasilcic, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, NOKI and Ruben Toledo.[9]

In November 2007 Diane Pernet also co-curated the NOOVO fashion and photography festival in Santiago de Compostela. "You Wear It Well" was dissolved in 2007 when Pernet with the support of her current producer, David Herman, took the festival from a one-day program to a three-day program and to make it an extension of the ASVOF blog, hence the name ASVOFF (A Shaded View on Fashion Film). In September 2008, ASVOFF was launched in Paris at Jeu de Paume.[10]

ASVOFF 2014

ASVOFF US

In 2014, the festival ASVOFF was held in the U.S for the first time through a partnership with Kering. The festival opened on the 14th of March 2014 at the FIAF's Florence Gould Hall. The screening consisted of 12 short films, and after the festival, the founder Diane Pernet held a Q&A with the filmmakers Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas) and Jerry Schatzberg (Scarecrow).Among the selections were Bruce Weber's short made for Barneys New York and Figgis's famous short 'Agent provocateur' in which Kate Moss made her screen debut.[22]

Future

Diane Pernet would like ASVOFF to be an extension of other film festivals around the world. That would be a way to promote new filmmakers just like she has done for new designers with her blog.[citation needed]
