FROM THE ROARING 20'S TO TODAY.


Yep, everybody's talking about it, it's Gatsby time!
Since the first previews i was really excited to see this movie (being a huge Baz Luhrman's fan), so even before finally going to the cinema last thursday my expectations were high up: and at the end the film was definitely satisfying.
Critics were not so acclaiming towards it, but myself i really enjoyed sitting on a comfortable chair with my 3d sunglasses (it has been my first time, yes!) staring at those amazing scenic designs, colors, musics, actors and of course all the stunning costumes (my favorite part)!
From the extraordinary flashy dresses of Gatsby's party guests, to men's sartorial suits, everything was styled with a precise attention to details: not only clothes but also accessories - head-bands, hats, shoes, gloves - and hair and make up (you can even notice half-moon manicures), everything looked fantastic, and to me it was one plus reason to see this movie.
And what about collaborations? I could tell there was some Prada behind it! Check out this video, explaining how they were able to rielaborate actual runaway pieces to create a contemporary roaring 20's style.
Last but not least i'm not forgetting about you guys: the suits were so astonishing that the american brand Brooks Brothers created a collection to reproduce Baz Luhrman's film costumes, for any men to get the Gatsby look.

CARDIGANS AND TENNIS RACKETS.



First post about men's style. When this morning i red this post on FrizziFrizzi i couldn't help but share the new spring/summer collection of the brand Monsieur Lacenaire. Of course the first reason is my extended love for bearded boys (i won't explain too much) and for the retro/french-garçon look: i really enjoyed the mood of this shoot, styled with old posters, magazines and tennis rackets.
That's why it's worth to see the moodboard of the collection, inspired by Jaques Tati's movie Trafic, abandoned tennis fields, bycicles and horseman's pants. Lovely.

A CHANGE OF A DRESS.


This is the amazing idea of canadian photographer Hana Pesut, mind of the fun and inventive project Switcheroo: putting couples together and capture them once in their own clothes, once with the other half's. Same background, same pose. The result is entertaining.
