Follow on Google News | Eugene Alexander Documentary Makes its Internet DebutShort documentary film presented by DutchCrafters Amish Furniture tells the story of the fashion design team behind the label Eugene Alexander.
By: JMX Brands The film was named an Official Selection of the Love Your Shorts and Sunscreen film festivals. The documentary was filmed in Sarasota, Fla. and Goshen, Ind. It was directed and edited by Jake Smucker. Framed by a fashion show fundraiser for The Goshen Theater in Goshen, Ind., the film explores Mennonite fashion designer Eugene Stutzman's experiences dressing Hollywood customers, his dressmaking inventions used in his factory in Sarasota, Fla., his endeavors after leaving the fashion industry, and how his dresses have a second life through the Eugene Alexander Hope Foundation. It can be viewed online at https://www.dutchcrafters.com/ Stutzman, a graduate of Goshen College, Goshen, Ind., stepped beyond the constraints of Mennonite and Amish convention while also drawing upon that tradition for both his style aesthetic and manufacturing choices. Jim Miller at DutchCrafters saw the connection between Stutzman's choices and the DutchCrafters brand and made it possible for Stutzman's story to be told.
