A Stitch in Time
Experimental Fashion Film · Creative Direction · Charlotte SHOUT! 2025
Project overview
A Stitch in Time is an experimental fashion film co-directed by Alexander Lieberman and Will White for Charlotte SHOUT! 2025.
Filmed at the historic Hugh Torance House at Cedar Grove in Huntersville, North Carolina, the film explores the relationship between fashion, time, and identity through original garments, movement, and cinematic storytelling.
Each garment was designed and created specifically for the project, appearing both in the film and in a companion fashion installation displayed on mannequins throughout the Charlotte SHOUT! festival. The film brings these creations to life within the historic setting, juxtaposing contemporary fashion with the architecture and history of the space.
Together, the film and installation form a multidisciplinary exploration of fashion, craftsmanship, and storytelling across time.
