November 24, 2009 10:58 am
Something in the water over at British Vogue? While features editor Aimee Farrell’s been hard at work launching the new biannual Twin, the mag’s art director, Jaime Perlman, has been putting together TEST, a side project of her own. “It’s an online portfolio that showcases the combined talents of a myriad of creatives, rather than just one photographer or makeup artist,” Perlman explains. “It’s a more holistic approach.” In practice, it’s an online journal combining traditional fashion editorials—shot by the likes of KT Auleta, Catherine Servel, and Wendy Bevan—with a strong video element. Fittingly, the project’s debut was the video installation Perlman collaborated on with Richard Nicoll for his Spring show in London, of Nicoll-clad nymphs (including, sadly, the late Daul Kim, pictured) frolicking in the forest. Projects are in the works with Poppy de Villeneuve, Mark Jacobson, and Willem Jaspert, but even with TEST growing, Perlman’s keeping her day job, too. “I have the best of both worlds,” she says. “The projects I’m working on are proving very complementary to each other.”
