Event Navigation
Monica Menez is an award-winning fashion photographer and filmmaker from Stuttgart, Germany. Whether she is working on a photoset or a fashion movie: Her rich imagery is profound and peppered with bits of absurdity, humor and eroticism. Thus, she fulfills her artistic intention to present fashion in an appealing and unique way. After having won various awards for her photographs, she received the La Jolla Fashion Film Award in 2011 for “Most Creative Concept”, followed by the ASVOFF 5 Award in 2012 for “Best Art Direction”. In 2013, she won the Berlin Fashion Film Festival 2013 Award in the category “Best Fashion Film 2013” for her film “Odditory”, and for her film “Hors D‘Oeuvre” she was rewarded with the Madrid Fashion Film Festival 2013 award for “Best fashion film international 2013”. In 2014, she was once more honored with the ASVOFF “Best Art Direction” Award, this time for “The Journey”. This film, praised by critics to be one of the best fashion films ever made, also won prizes at the 2015 Miami Fashion Film Festival: “Best Film Audience Award”, “Best Cinematography” and “Best Hair”.“It always depends on the project whether a still or moving image is the more adequate medium”, says Monica Menez. This open-minded approach towards fashion and art is one of the reasons why her work is so multifaceted. Monica Menez is among the most influential makers of fashion films and has significantly impacted the young fashion film genre right from the start. It is not just her unmistakable retro look and the sets built with loving attention to detail which make her award-winning films so successful, but mostly the surreal and eccentric stories she tells. Her work is influenced by artists/ directors such as John Waters and Richard Elfman, and she will present their works along with hers.
