My View: The Artist

I went to see The Artist over the weekend. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Filmed in black and white, The Artist is a romantic comedy about a silent film star whose career goes down the drain when talkies become popular. Brilliantly, the movie itself is a silent movie complete with raised eyebrows, title cards, and amazing music. 

Of course the dashing late 1920's / early 1930's costumes are worth seeing this film alone. I now want to wear flapper dresses and take tap dance lessons! 





Have you seen it yet? What did you think?

Mid-Week Inspiration: Chanel Silent Movie

To open last week's pre-fall Chanel Paris/Moscou ready to wear collection, Karl Lagerfeld debuted his self-directed 10 minute silent movie. It stars model, Edita Vilkeviciute, as a young Coco Chanel enjoying the flapper life. It's now available for viewing with English subtitles on the Chanel website. Enjoy!
