  • Reviews: Coco Before Chanel
    Pre-college I spent 13 years at the Lycee Francais in New York, so it’s little surprise that today a good chunk of my friends live in Paris. Needless to say I’ve been getting second-hand reviews of Anne Fontaine’s biopic “Coco Avant Chanel” for weeks now. The film, which premiered in France back in April, just hit theaters in the UK and will be on screens state-side...

  • Picture Me: New film exposes exploitation of models
    I think anyone with an ounce of intelligence realises that the seductive glamour of modelling is largely an illusion. We may envy these girl’s figures, their salaries, their social lives, their wardrobes, but I don’t think many envy the put-downs, the scrutiny, the long work hours and the precarious nature of their careers. I remember coming across an interview a...

  • Reviews: Valentino The Last Emperor
    I was enthralled by Lagerfeld Confidential, touched by the two Yves Saint Laurent documentaries, and can barely contain my curiosity as to the upcoming R.J. Cutler documentary The September Issue (which chronicles the making of Vogue’s September 2007 issue). That said with all the hype

  • Anna Wintour gives Adele a style makeover!
    The fly-on-the-wall documentary which took place during the making of Vogue US’ September issue, will be coming to a movie theatre near you this September. Filmed by RJ Cutler and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to high acclaim, The September Issue hit the headlines thanks to some fairly unkind remarks and revelations about their cover star, Sienna Miller....

  • Rebecca Bloomwood is our new style icon
    The count down is on, it’s only a matter of weeks until Confessions of a Shopaholic hits the big screen, and we can’t wait. Not only is it the perfect remedy to the dark February days, but we can also welcome a new style icon into our lives.

  • Style Inspiration: Brideshead Revisited
    Being a somewhat besotted fan of Evelyn Waugh’s writing, not to mention my longing to live and dress with the Bright Young Things of 20s upper class London, it was inevitable that I would be a little bit obsessed with the remake of “Brideshead Revisited” before it was even released. Stumbling upon the trailer for the upcoming film I am utterly seduced...

  • Anyone else feel incredibly unfulfilled after watching the Sex and the City film trailer?
    Maybe its because we’ve seen most of the outfits already….or maybe its because we were dying for some dialogue between the ladies, but something was seriously lacking! We really hope the movie lives up to the hype. In more Sex and the City news, apparently plans are in the pipeline for a sequel and if we’re lucky there could even possibly be a third...
