Rodarte and Todd Cole Debut Short Film


A still from “This Must Be The Only Fantasy,” a new Rodarte film by director Todd Cole.

Rodarte designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy have long been inspired by films, and they’ve translated their otherworldly aesthetic to the screen before in “The Curve of Forgotten Things,” starring a luminous Elle Fanning. The designers have again teamed with director Todd Cole for a mesmerizing short film, produced and released by Intel and Vice Media’s The Creators Project. Scored by Beach House and set in Los Angeles, “This Must Be the Only Fantasy” (below) cinematically showcases Rodarte’s spring 2013 collection, which drew heavily from medieval-era design cues including chain-mail armor, marquetry, and corseted silhouettes. “When we conceptualize a collection, we are always thinking about how we can further create an immersive experience,” say the Mulleavys, “one that brings to life the world that we are imagining.”

Daily Obsesh: Whimsical Bohemian

imageThe bohemian trend has taken over! We are loving this whimsical bohemian outfit here. I love that she has paired layered gold jewelry with a light pink peasant top. She has achieved the perfect hippie style while still radiating in feminine essence. Wearing gauze and linen can be the best way to get the gypsy look. But make sure you keep it fresh by sporting a gorgeous pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses and shimmery jewels. This outfit screams bohemian brilliance!

Bonjour, Mademoiselle C: Sneak Peek at Carine Roitfeld Documentary

The third issue of the chunky dreamtome that is CR Fashion Book is hot off the presses (literally) just in time to relive its gestation and triumphant launch in a new documentary directed by Fabien Constant. Opening in select cities on September 11, Mademoiselle C follows Carine Roitfeld as she bids adieu to her decade-long post as editor of French Vogue. Will New York media embrace La Roitfeld? Will the designers and advertisers follow once she has, in her words, surrendered “the crown” of French Vogue? How will she adapt to life as a grandmother?

“Fabien brought up the idea of the project when I was launching my new magazine. I had just left Vogue was starting everything over. I found that period interesting,” says Roitfeld. “I said ‘yes’ instinctively, without really thinking about what it meant.” Having worked with Constant before (“I like his sense of humor and the fact that he doesn’t look at people who work in fashion with a critical eye. He doesn’t judge us”), she was comfortable with his presence (“he just blended into the scenery”), but old editorial and styling habits die hard. “Pictures can be Photoshopped. It’s harder to do with movies,” explains Roitfeld. “I’m so used to controlling everything, the hardest part was being shot from a less-than-flattering angle.” And her favorite moment captured on film? “When I’m singing in Russian,” she says. “I’m quite proud of that. I think that I’m singing pretty well and it’s one of the lighter moments in the movie.” Voici le trailer:

Daily Obsesh: Exotic Gems

imageI love it when jewelry designers incorporate true-form natural stone. You can find some of the best pieces at a gem show! For example, we are loving this pair of earrings here. The high-gloss gold metal creates a striking setting for these glittering beauties. They are made from irregular agate stones and dyed stingray. Their natural flaws create a stunning composition. Every pair is unique in their shape, form and color. Wear these earrings paired with a little black dress for a little bohemian flare to your next cocktail party.
