(Post Production)"The Wisdom in Fashion, Not So Fast" is written and produced by Aaron Peirano Garrison and co-directed with Neville Wisdom. This documentary film is now in post production. A re-boot of the American dream, WF is following the life and practice of a Jamaican-American fashion designer. Neville Wisdom has long been re-defining the constructs by which the fashion industry sustains itself. Born and raised in rural Jamaica where slow fashion boutiques are familliar, he found his way to the daring world of clothing design as a young man but abandoned it for a stable career as a medical technician. Unable to resist the pull, he left it behind, returning to Jamaica to lay the ground work for his own label. Fast-forward ten years, Wisdom has a thriving studio in the small city of New Haven CT. Now a successful boutique designer, he's been recently re-tracing his Jamaican roots in an effort to re-vitalize that early drive. He is bringing fresh vision for "slow fashion" to the growing studio, where a crop of young urban fashion designers are breaking old molds, setting new standards on the runway and off the rack.
