For Girls Who Have Considered Quitting When The Wonderland Seems Too Far Away


"Wonderland" by Knight and Storey.

"Filmed by Nick Knight and with a soundtrack of Professor Helen Storey intoning scientific formulae as fitting backdrop, this filmic finale to the 'Wonderland' project documents the aquatic aerobics of Helen's collection in the last stage of its life. With the clothes literally peeling from her body as the remarkable biodegradable polymers react against their submerged state, watch as model Alice Dellal twists and turns through her underwater ballet and Helen's creations ultimately surrender to their watery grave."

Heart-crushingly, eye-wrenchingly, true-bloodedly beautiful.
