Fashion and skateboarding are two cultures that have flirted around each other for decades, however never before has a skate crew been embraced by the fash pack quite as much as The Skate Kitchen. This gang of five have already been snapped up by high end designer Miu Miu, featured in Crystal Moselle’s new film and given the seal of approval from Pharrell Williams.
Simple trend followers they are not however, the gang is very much committed to keeping the real spirit of skateboarding front and centre and have openly spoken against skate culture being used as a mainstream trend in interviews, only backing women’s skate fashion that offers real use to female skaters who are traditionally pushed towards adopting male clothing to skate comfortably.
That One Day, a feature film about The Skate Kitchen, recently premiered at Sundance Film Festival to critical praise and is looking for general release later this year. Here’s to seeing a whole lot more of the Skate Kitchen girls in the future….
Miu Miu Women's Tales #12 - That One Day
Everything can change in a day, which is exactly what happens to one young skater girl in the latest installment of Miu Miu's Women's Tales short film series. Directed by Crystal Moselle, who found fame with the critically acclaimed documentary The Wolfpack, "That One Day" tells the tale of 17-year-old Rachelle, who stumbles across a gang of fearless skater girls and world of fun, friendship and female empowerment. "I am in love with the transformation stage in a girl's life," says Moselle, "when they are not quite a girl but not quite a woman. When I was in my transformation stage, as a young girl, Miu Miu was a big part of that story."
A journey of self-discovery, "That One Day" is Miu Miu's twelfth commission in the series and will premiere today at the Venice Film Festival's Venice Days program, along with a screening of Naomi Kawase's "Seed." The entire Women's Tales archive can be viewed on the Miu Miu website, accompanied by exclusive interviews with the directors and behind-the-scenes footage.

If you wish to watch another video from iD Magazine about the skater girls.
We head to the seaside with Brighton’s Josie Millard for an intimate look inside the growing female skater scene. With filmmaker Ophelia Wynne we step into the 17-year-old Brightonian’s world as she recounts her journey from stealing her brother’s unused skateboard from the garage, to falling in love with the subculture, breaking into schools after dark to skate, and hitting the streets in search of adventure
