Fashion Film Festival Chicago announced today the winning entries from its 2015 festival and competition. The Festival screening took place on last night at Columbia College Chicago's Film Row Cinema. The honorees are as follows:

First place - Coupe d'Or - went to ‘Silver Girl’ by Josh Brandao. According to Brandao, his film was “inspired by the world of Spanish bullfighting, ‘Silver Girl’ tells the story of a woman and a man, both equal in their own merit, and how gender and age determined their fate. The film showcases a full collection of hats by British hat designer Philip Treacy, jewelry by Adler Jewellers as well as designs by Julian McDonald and Armani.”

Second place - Médaille d'Argent - went to ‘Learn itSelf’, a fashion film by Gregory Marchenko. According to Marchenko, the film “is the symbolism that affects the subconscious. The viewer can think through, continuing himself, to draw an analogy with himself and his inner world.”

Third place - Médaille de Bronze - went to ‘The Chase’, a fashion film by Graham Sheldon. According to the film’s producer, Dhrumil Desai, “ ‘The Chase’ marks our entree into the world of fashion film. Our team approached this short film with the concept of creating a game of cat and mouse between two people in an undefined relationship. The ambiguity of the chase is something we tried to keep present throughout while showing a variety of fashion from various designers. We also aimed to create a sense of danger and an almost animalistic pursuit with our use of the White Tiger.”View more:http://www.marieprom.co.uk/princess-prom-dresses

The Fashion Honor award went to Daisy Gili’s ‘Paroha Surrender’. According to Gili, “‘Paroha: Surrender’ is an exploration of what it means to be a Paroha woman in a world where luxury, beauty, and sensuality combine to create an intoxicating blend of fantasy and reality.”

This year’s category winners include: Jan Macierewicz’s ‘Tribe’ which received the "Essence of Fashion" award; Gianluca Grandinetti’s ‘Atman - Mavranyma’ received the “Beauty” award; and the award for best “Creative Concept” went to Javiera Huidobro for ‘H & M Challenge'.

The winning submissions were screened today, along with the other official selections, at Columbia College Chicago as Chicago’s 2015 fall fashion week events came to a close.
