Brilliant new short film by Prada!

Prada revealed a short film yesterday at the Cannes film festival, directed by Roman Polanski and starring Helena Bonham Carter as a rich, blasé woman and Ben Kingsley as her sombre psychoanalyst. The film revolves around their therapy session where Carter relates her latest dream, but the doctor seems more interested in her purple furry coat! It’s really funny, and it’s interesting to note that Kingsley never utters a word, yet steals the show with his performance. You can watch it here in the Prada website.

Inspiration: 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'

The fashion in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' was impeccable and continues to inspire and scintillate even to this day. Even though the lifestyle of Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn's character in the film) may have had various ups and downs, she always carried herself off with style. Her outfits were mainly monochrome consisting of dresses and coats that were either black or brightly coloured, and were paired off with jewellery (anything except diamonds, as according to Holly diamonds did not befit someone her age), hats and sunglasses. If you wish to emulate the 'Holly look' to perfection, don't forget the bouffant hairdo and signature eyeliner, and you'll be ready to go!

Inspiration: 'To Catch A Thief'

   

   

   

Here is some sartorial inspiration from the beautiful film ‘To catch a thief’ that I recently had the pleasure of viewing. I was absolutely amazed by the stunning cinematography and costumes. Ah, French Riviera in the 50s must have been a great place and time for fashion lovers!
