Fashion 2011: The Last Time I Saw Matilda

The Last Time I Saw Matilda, Absorb’s latest fashion film collaboration with fashion photographer Justin Ridler captures model Matilda Price in looks from some of Australia’s favourite homegrown independent designers. 

In a meandering collection of Ridler's images, we see stunning garments from Fleur Wood, Yeojin Bae, Arabella Ramsay, Day Birger et Mikkelsen, Mezi and accessories by Mania Mania as a young, free-spirited girl wanders about the sundrenched countryside of the rugged headlands in NSW.

Described as, “an ode to fleeting memory and the beauty of lasting encounters,” the film translates the elegant yet uninhibited styling of stylist Chiara Bianchino and the exceptional photographic style of Ridler into a beautiful, ethereal short film.
