Made by women for women, the AGL FW21 collection is an icon of Postmodern minimalism. Both these sentiments were captured by London based filmmaker Fiona Jane Burgess in her Nowness x AGL film Sisterhood, shot at London's Tate Modern Gallery.

Set against the contemporary interiors, and the soulful vocals of British singer-songwriter Låpsley, dancers lean on and support each other. Symbolising the core of female solidarity's: strength in numbers, support systems and sensitivity.

Burgess 'With this film I was interested in creating moments of connection between women that relies on physical balance and support; this idea that if they were to let go they would fall. I also wanted this to show physical manifestations of support structures, of invisible reliance on one another, and to show that—even without knowing—we sometimes rely on the work of others. I think that collective sisterhood is so integral to gender equality as we have a duty and responsibility to hold each other up. To push and challenge one another. In my mind, it's using bodies to embody cultural messages. Distribution of weight is quite difficult: getting the balance right is hard. Holding a position for a long time requires a lot of strength. I wanted to use stillness as a symbol for strength. Focus and harmony are dependent upon everybody who is involved; giving and receiving the weight, the burden and the responsibility. This is what drew me to this concept.'
