Don't Panic (2014) Tiare Ribeaux and Payam Imani This sci-fi fashion film highlighted the "Don't Panic" Jumpsuit line co-designed and co-directed in collaboration with Payam Imani. The narrative is based on a premise where the a near future bio-cyborg is trying to find her origin and creator and only is given clues through different messages with the symbol "Payam" while roaming around Tokyo - the first message given to her while meeting with another cyborg in secret. The female cyborg ingests these clues as biomaterial that will lead her to her origin, only to collapse and reawaken with a different jumpsuit and a new mission of self-discovery. This was filmed during Fashion Week (Spring) 2014 in various locations in Tokyo, Japan.

 

I filmed and directed this for the Payam Imani clothing line Don't Panic for Fashion Week in Tokyo Japan. It was premiered during the fashion festival which is held twice a year in the world's fashion cities during which the trends for the next season are born from the latest collections that are unveiled at fashion shows and exhibitions.

Don't Panic (2014)

In collaboration with Payam Imani

This science fiction fashion film focuses on a cybernetic being in the near future trying to find their origin, reawakening in an endless cycle of different versions of themselves while wandering through Tokyo in the near future. This character is meant to embody our desires and fears around cloning and artificial intelligence. It also explores our digital doppelgangers - extensions of our physical and biodigital bodies.

This film highlighted the "Don't Panic" Jumpsuit line co-designed with Payam Imani.

This was filmed in Tokyo and screened during Fashion Week (Spring) 2014 in Tokyo, Japan.
