STAR CREATION -Singapore

http://www.starcreation.sg/

Star Creation is a fashion design competition organised by the Textile & Fashion Federation (Singapore) also known as TaFf. An event of the Asia Fashion Exchange (AFX), Star Creation aims to uncover Asian talents, present them with the opportunity to launch their fashion careers and groom them into tomorrow's top fashion designers.

Submissions will undergo three stringent rounds of judging by industry practitioners and experts. Then, 12 finalists will present a collection based on this year's theme of "Internationally Asian" for final judging. Three top winners will emerge to claim their prize of cash plus a 12-month internship with leading fashion retailer, F J Benjamin (Singapore), and upon completion of the internship, they will have the opportunity to launch their own capsule collection.

WOMEN ARE HEROES

Dynamically shot documentary by Paris-based photographer JR. Women Are Heroespays a tribute to oppressed women from Brazil, India, Kenya and Cambodia, in order to give them an identity, both literally and figuratively.

Women Are Heroes starts off in Brazil. The camera swings through the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, and catches JR’s huge billboards of women telling how much they suffer from street violence. After that, the viewer is taken to Cambodia, where women protest against violent house expropriations using a matriarchal system. To the slums of Kenya, where mothers have to raise their children in the midst of chaos and instability, and finally to India, where women are torn apart between century-old traditions and modern-day society. 
JR zooms in on the gigantic billboards – some can even be seen on Google Earth – to stress these women’s significance and power, thus giving them the recognition they deserve and turning them into heroes.
