Act Da Fool

Here is the Harmony Korine directed film for Proenza Schouler. To be honest, I'm not digging the clothes or the film. I mean the collection in itself is dissapointing, the paint splat trousers look tacky to me and the jackets just aren't doing it for me. Of course it has the obligitary hushed voice whispery narration of a Harmony Korine film, nothing new is it really. However I do like it that the girls are normal people and not models, and the place its set is super crummy. I dunno it's kind of intruging. Well i suggest you watch it just to make up your own mind, it's not very long so you might as well.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Hello everybody.Or nobody nowadays. I dunno, I'm getting bored of not getting feedback or anything. There was a time when it was like every post got at least 1 comment. And now it's just nothing. Which is shit.
Anyway today On Her Majesty's secret service was on ITV, which is like the worst Bond film because it has George Lazenby in it and he is the rubbishest one. But still, I like the costumes.
Look at the ruffles on that shirt. BEAUTIFUL. In the film though there's an African lady and she has the coolest attire ever, but the stupid internet doesn't have any pictures. It's like a traditional african dress and headscarf, and she's really pretty and it looks so nice. But alas no picture so my shit explaination will have to do.
I need to get out more. I honestly feel like I'm stagnating right now. How lovely.

A Single man

HELLO! I have been busy this week, well not really but you know its the holidays and I have only had 2 days at home in two weeks. Anyway the other day (I can't remember which, I'm all muddled) I went and saw A Single man. I must say, it is one of the best films ever. So the basic story is that a guy called george loses his boyfriend in a car crash and sinks into a pit of depression. The film follows him over a single day, and he has various encounters with a range of people including his friend charley, played by Julianne Moore.

She is one of my favourite characters cause she is drunk basically all the time, and her house is mega nice. Plus she smokes pink cigarettes. Classy.Nicholas Hoult plays the student who basically stalks George. He has to do an american accent which is a bit weird but it's quite good. Also the girl with him is his girlfriend kinda, played by Aline Weber. A model? Doing acting? SHOCKING! Well not really because all she does is look moody and chain smoke and not talk. So yeah not acting, posing.

I know that is very short but I really have no time, so just go and see it ok? It's blinding.

Team Coddington!


Ok so I'm off school with this virus which is like gross city, so when my dearest mother went to tesco she bought me The September Issue. Duh the documentry-film type thing.
It's been out for ages but I hadn't seen 'til about ten minutes ago. And may I just say, I hate Anna Wintour. She is the ice queen, it's all been said before. The way she talks to people like they are something on the bottom of her shoe grinds my gears to the max, plus her ruthless cutting of amazing pictures and spreads makes me sad. Grace Coddington on the other hand, is the messiah of all that is holy in the fashion world. She styles all her shoots herself and has a lot of repsect for everyone she meets, like telling the camera man that she doesnt want him to be retouched and that he doesnt need to go to the gym because not everyone is perfect. Anna is a bitch to him, telling him that his has to go to the gym while patting her stomach for about a billion years.
Grace also makes the best spreads for the magazine which take heck loads of planning, and in ten minutes Anna comes along and takes out loads of the most astounding pictures i have ever seen. She seems to lack any kind of respect for Grace, refusing to budge on anything that she has decided.
In rare moments we see a different side of Wintour however. She talks about her family, and how they all think her job is a joke, her dad and there are scenes between her and her daughter. Also her help to introduce Thakoon to the masses with his Gap collaboration is very sweet, and he is the most adorable guy ever!
She is still ruthless with other designers and people who she works with, which i suppose you have to be. But there is a fine line between being tough and just being rude. Grace is now my idol forever, she's kind but still fights her corner to the very end.
And my absolute favourite part of the film? When Grace makes Raquel Zimmerman eat a berry pie whilst wearing the worlds most tight corset and beautiful couture.
ciao for now

Coco Before Chanel

Ok so hey fellows, last night i went and saw Coco Before Chanel at my local picture house. WOW is all I can say. What a tragic story she had! and Audrey Tautou is an absolutely amazing actress, she just fits the part so well. My favourite part is at the very end, when we see her lying on the famous Chanel staircase after she has presented her collection. The camera hovers for a while, concentrating on her face until she cracks a tiny smile. It's so beautiful.


I also love the way her clothes develop throughout the film, from her orphan clothes, to the ones she wears as a dancer and through to her famous LBD's and chic suits. I just adore this film, especially how its in French with English subtitles. It makes it so much more authentic.

J'adore
