Watch with me.

I'll catch you up, dear readers, on where I've been in just a bit--but, for now you must watch something for me. Someone has gone and posted the entire film Unzipped on youtube. I just watched the first part of the 1994 documentary of Isaac Mizrahi's Fall collection and already I've been magically transported back to the basics of why I love fashion. In the first 7 minutes of the film you see Eartha Kitt in all of her living glory, a fresh-faced Amber Valletta meeting Isaac for the first time, and Mizrahi's mama bragging about her son's first garment: a straight blazer she would wear to temple on all of the high holidays. I have no television, so I have no idea what Isaac is up to on his new tele show with Iman, but in those days he was the kind of charming, energetic, smoking, neurotic, funny man that made for good entertainment. So, lets watch together. Here are all the parts:









*Part 4 annoyingly has no audio because of a copyright claim over a music track. I say watch the visual and hum.









So good, right?

Movie Garb

Clark Kent's glasses, those Dumb and Dumber suits, Top Gun's patched leather bombers--they nearly defined the movies they were in. These scraps of costume clothing are iconic and instantly recognizable. Illustrators James Alexander Mathers and Andrew Lau of ad team Moxie Creative reimagined movie posters for classic films starring their sartorial breakouts. The project was completed for men's style site Every Guyed, which is very stylin' indeed.

You can purchase your own prints of the posters for a very chic $30 including shipping. Visit Moxie Creative's site to do so.

Just for good measure, I present to you one of the best scenes of cinema history--the business card scene in American Psycho, the ultimate style pissing match:

Posters spotted on the ever-wonderful/funny/brilliant The Daily What, which you should all follow immediately.

Le Sigh.

Breathless, Jean-Luc Godard's film version of Truffaut's story about a suave sociopath and his amour du jour, a beautiful American played by the pixiest of pixies, Ms. Jean Seberg, turns 50 this year. You are invited to it's birthday bash run from May 28th to June 10th at Film Forum.

Until then you can use it's amazing trailer as the most chic French vocab lesson you have ever had:

Oui.

Get Me A Ticket.

A Single Man is fashion designer and all around hedonist Tom Ford's cinematic debut. I must say, if the trailer is any indication, his directorial vision is eye candy laced with arsenic and bourbon and I want some.



I don't know about you, but I could watch Julianne Moore eternally. Her face is like a million emotions under pounds of pretty pressure that you are sure is going to crack. She is utterly watchable. This is pure preview heaven. Tick-tock: I can't wait til it hits theaters.
