film

shabam ! pow ! blop ! wizz !

I'm slightly obsessed with the trailer and stills from the upcoming Serge Gainsbourg biopic.

But will ever Vie Héroïque finally get an American release date? Let me know if yes so I can change out of my artfully-disheveled bedsheet, climb off this piano and get myself to a theater.

"I don’t know, maybe I am just creating for, you know, the one character that survives."

(Laura Mulleavy to Dazed on how her love of horror films influences Rodarte.)

last days of disco

Don't let this dress convince you that it's a good idea to watch The Last Days of Disco, even though you can do it for free on Hulu.

Because for every art-deco-via-disco costume like that killer dress, there's another--albeit accurate--early 80s disaster like this one:

You can't tell, but Chloe Sevigny is actually talking to wardrobe in this shot, like 'Really? My stretch, sequin boob tube also had to be rainbow striped? Thanks. '

Anyway. The whole movie will generally make you glad you were not present for this era, its horrifying music and fashion, or in a movie theater where this film was playing back in 1998.

One of the most thoughtful gifts my boyfriend ever gave me was a DVD of "Breakfast at Tiffany's," a copy of the book, and then a necklace from the store -- opened in that order.

Now that we're all a bit more grown-up, I've found a fantastic Valentine's Day gift along those same lines: a limited-edition, first-run copy of the Capote classic with one of the most gorgeous and flawless book covers I've ever seen in my life. (It's bound in pink leather with an embossed, art-deco silhouette of Holly Golightly. Enough said.)

Sure, it's a breathtaking £2000 from The Shop at Bluebird, which is London's equivalent to Collette. But for the girl who loves literature, style and Audrey Hepburn, it's also a gift that could never go wrong.

wrath of wintour

Last night while I avoided the torrential rainstorm, I was flipping through channels and came across the ultra-chic Ricardo Montalban in "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan."

Guess what? The universally-bashed ram dress that Anna Wintour wore to the Met gala last year is totally an homage to Khan, whether anyone knew it or not. (I'm guessing not.) Which begs the eternal People question: who wore it better? Personally, I'm torn.
