Style in the Movies

On March 28 TCM and Bloomingdales (Beverly Center) hosted Style in the Movies: A Celebration of Costume Design with costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis and Los Angeles Times fashion critic Booth Moore.

It was a lovely evening filled with music, classic films, fashion and fancy cocktails. The event was mostly a Q&A with Debra Nadoolman Landis and a fashion retrospective on Hollywood glamour. She discussed the work of costume designers and how they have influenced the world of fashion. 

Her book Dressed: A Century of Hollywood Costume Design was also on sale at this event. I finally got my copy! This book is beautiful and it has officially become my coffee table book.

This amazing band was jamming classic movie tunes! Overall, Bloomingdales and TCM put together a very sophisticated event for classic movie lovers!!

FIDM: Costume Design Exhibition

On February 11, FIDM hosted the opening reception of The 20th Anniversary Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition. The event was such a treat. FIDM always puts on the most extravagant galas and I feel so lucky to be invited every year. This beautiful exhibition celebrates and honors the art of storytelling with selected costumes from this years Academy Award Nominated films for Best Costume Design. Other costumes from films like My Week With Marilyn, Water for Elephants and The Help are also displayed. If you are in the Downtown Los Angeles area, I highly recommend that you stop by the FIDM museum.The exhibition runs thru April 28.

Moonrise Kingdom

Can't wait for the release of Moonrise Kingdom. A new feature by one of my favorite directors, Wes Anderson. Cast includes the Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton and Bill Murray, just to name a few.

The Artist

I had the privilege of watching "The Artist" last night. It was absolutely breathtaking. A must see. This film is perfect for a date night. Mark Bridges, the costume designer, did a amazing job capturing the true essence of the late 1920's through his beautiful costumes.
