Slow Fashion, Deep Healing: Inside the Film Dawn Dusk
Description
In this episode of FashionTalks, host Donna Bishop welcomes in the first part of a two part series, filmmakers Blue and Jason, the creative duo behind the award-winning documentary Dawn Dusk. Their film follows Chicago-based leather artisan Chelli Look, whose minimalist, slow-fashion designs became a vessel for processing profound personal loss. As Blue and Jason share, what began as a short maker film evolved into a deeply human story about creativity, resilience, and the healing power of art.
Through intimate storytelling, the conversation explores how fashion can transcend aesthetics to become a form of therapy and connection. From Chelli’s quiet studio to the symbolic light that inspired her designs, Blue and Jason reveal the intersection between craftsmanship and emotion—and how observing beauty in life’s darkest moments can illuminate a path forward.
