Video documentaries about fashion designers
In March and April 2009 the Webby Award winning online video series on designers 'Designing Minds' by the New York pop culture video production Zoom-In present weekly new documentaries about fashion.
Zoom-In is covering in honor of New York Fashion Week designers such as Jose Duran (video on this page), who speaks about his inspirations. He tells with his collections stories about time and society: for one of his collections he researched the history of his home, the Dominican Republic, in the early 19th century and Voodoo rituals. The results are armory pieces and a sculptured dress inspired by a mud ceremony... Video 'Designing Minds: Jose Duran Executive Producer: Megan Cunningham;
