Born in Berkeley, the now Brooklyn-based photographer plays with images exploring adolescence and quiet suburban life
Dark and mysterious Ariel Rosenbloom shows us her haunting images of suburban memories, and fictional family roles.

Dazed Digital: How old are you?
Ariel Rosenbloom: 22

DD: Where you are from?
Ariel Rosenbloom: I was born in Berkeley, CA but grew up 40 minutes north of New York City, around Nyack, NY. I went to college in Amherst, Massachusetts and now live in Brooklyn.

DD: Does where you are from influence your work?
Ariel Rosenbloom: Yes. Growing up in desolate suburbs definitely helped to shape my aesthetic. Suburban backyards, grass, trees, open fields - all of this is crucial in my work.

DD: What art, films, books inspire your work?
Ariel Rosenbloom: I currently work at a bookstore, so I’m constantly reading and buying tons of books I can’t afford. I love Murakami, particularly “Wind-Up Bird Chronicle", which has definitely influenced my work. Photographers that inspire me include Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Francesca Woodman, Christian Boltanski, Julia Margaret Cameron, Sally Mann, Rineke Dijkstra, and Hellen Van Meene. Film wise, the most recent film I really loved was the Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In which completely blew me away.

DD: Your photographs are very theatrical. Where do you get your stories from?
Ariel Rosenbloom: I actually went to college thinking I was going to study creative writing, and photography just sort of took over once I got into a darkroom. Short stories in particular have been a huge influence on my work, which is why I think there is such a strong narrative quality present. These stories, if one can even call them that, are deeply personal, and yet I’ve found that certain themes can creep subconsciously into my work.

DD: Tell me the story behind the ‘On Falls and Flights’ series.
Ariel Rosenbloom: This entire project came out of a need to go further with the work I had been doing previously on my family. I have been photographing my sisters since I was in high school, and what started out as a more documentary-style approach to portraiture transformed into something darker and more personal, more about how I related to them and imagined them through a veil of fictionalized images and poses. This project is about the unspoken, what is thought but not uttered. It’s about moments with no real beginning or end, about silent and strange desires, and the uneasy sense of feeling out of place.
 
DD: You use a lot of the same people in your images. Who are they?  What are their significance to your work?
Ariel Rosenbloom: I have always been fascinated by adolescence, particularly in girls, and I started exploring that through photographing my sisters at a young age. But for this project I was more interested in the interrelationships, the family dynamics that occur in a household of girls, the role of the father as well as the maternal and protective urges that I have felt towards them as the oldest sibling.

DD: Do you tend to come up with a fully finished idea for a series of images, or do you create as you go along?
Ariel Rosenbloom: I would have to say both. While shooting this project I did have many concrete ideas, and would dress my subjects, place them, use props, etc. in exactly the way I imagined it in my head. However, there was still a sense of spontaneity during those shoots—my subjects know me so well that often they were able to guess at what I wanted before I could say anything. My sister Isadora, for example, would often give me more than I could have possibly asked for; a look, a slight turn of the head, something subtle that only happens when subject and photographer (or, sister and sister) interact. That is what I try to evoke in my images; a common feeling, an excitement, some sort of gut reaction, like a jab in the stomach.

Tim Hamilton has only been in the womenswear game for one season but he took a big step by showing his womenswear collection in Paris for the first time (as he did with the menswear in the summer). With CFDA and Swarovski backing though and a strong vision of a 70s / 80s Helmut Newton lady empowered by a steady balance between loose and fitted, covered and exposed. So there's a tension between comfort and restriction that playd out into lean dresses, assymetric jackets, loose tailoring and a killer black crystal enrusted swimsuit. Functionality was always the overriding theme that will win him customers craving real clothes.

Dazed Digital: How does it feel to have had your first womenswear show in Paris?
Tim Hamilton: I feel so strange! It kind of feels odd that as I was looking at all the clothes, though it's all mine and then the clothes on the models, it didn't feel like this was my show. It was like "Hold on a minute, it's a woman!"

DD: But your sensibilities as a menswear designer have defnitely transferred to your womsnwear righ?
Tim Hamilton: Absolutely. I pay a huge attention to fabrics in my menswear and I did the same thing with the womenswear looking at how things moved and how they contrasted with each other.

DD: Were there any pictorial references for the collection?
Tim Hamilton: Yeah, I was really thinkinga bout a 70s/80s Helmut Newton-type women. I was also thinking about Catherine Deneuve in the film The Hunger. Last season was more romantic and I was thinking about what my mother would want to wear and thinking about Venice but this season was about adding more street wear influences.

DD: How was working with Swarovski?
Tim Hamilton: They're brilliant, incredibly helpful. I didn't want to cover everything with crystals because they're so intricate to work with and you need a lot of time to just do one piece. In the end we went for four pieces including a really great swimsuit.

Here is the film Tim Hamilton made with photographer Collier Schorr for his S/S10 menswear collection entitled 'Climb'.

Everyone has been anticipating what Phoebe Philo would do at Celine after the raptures the pre-collection got. She could have fallen into pulling out the old Chloe tricks she played that won her many hardcore fans but instead, respecting Celine as a slightly more grown-up brand. So in a restrained palette of camel, black, white and touches of navy, she made lines clean and simple without fault yet never losing interest as there were perfectly fitted black leather tees, leather A-line skirts, high waisted trousers and shirts.
