THE STUDIO OF BORIS SLOVANICH
Written, produced and directed by
David Wendelman

Synopsis
A satirical look at haute couture. By visiting the studio of fictional fashion designer Boris Slovanich (a fusion of popular 60’s designer Rudi Gernreich and “Doctor Strangelove”), we get an insight into the power and influence of pop culture: how it skews our perceptions of reality, blurring the lines between absurdity and empirical value. In essence, “The Emporer Has No Clothes”.
