Coco Avant Chanel

If you think you like Chanel you might have to think again. Just came back from the cinema and after watched Coco Avant Chanel I must have to admit that I just don’t like Chanel....for now on I LOVE Coco Chanel!

Coco Chanel was such a wonderful woman. Her strong character and the way she saw things around her definitely made her the most respectable woman in the fashion world.

Thinking that she did not have a penny to eat, to live and she managed to create her own brand which is today an empire and desire of most women in the world is so inspiring!!!

She was a woman who knew what she wanted and liked and nothing was ever going to change her way....Well done to Audrey Tautou who played the amazing role of Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel.

I don’t want to ruin the chance of you seeing the film been talked so much about it.....please don’t miss it out!

Just for a taste see the trailer below...

The September Issue: let’s face the real Anna Wintour

American Vogue: The September Issue

All we can read and hear in the last few months- I mean in the “fashion world”- is about the movie The September Issue. A documentary chronicling Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's preparations for the 2008 fall-fashion issue of the magazine.

Before I start talking about it I want to share with you my experience when I first saw Anna Wintour. Don’t be too excited, I did not meet her I just went to watch her lecture at Oxford University in 2007. I heard she was going to Oxford to talk with students at the University and I got crazy to go. Luckily I had a friend from Brazil which could get an invite for me to come. Basically she spoke about all her experience in fashion since she started working at Biba an iconic and popular fashion boutique in London, when she was 15 years old.

By the end of the lecture she opened for questions….so at that time I really understood how tough she can be. One girl asked: “How many pairs of shoes do you have?” - she replied: “One…next question”. And a boy sad “Is it really true that you like to drink Starbuck’s coffee everyday as seen at The Devil Wears Prada movie?”; she replied: “Would you please start asking some more intelligent questions? Next please…”

WOW- at that time I could understand why she is the power woman in fashion. Someone with that strong and confident character to say whatever she wants should just be where she is today!

It was the most memorable, surreal and absolutely unforgettable experience ever…

Going back to the movie – very excited- it will show an inside look at the making of perhaps the most famous issue – and biggest – of any magazine, Vogue’s eponymous September issue.

Plenty of Anna, Grace, fashion, photographers, celebrities – no other film could satisfy an insatiable hunger for the industry like this film will.

Can’t wait! For the moment let’s enjoy the trailer and have a little taste of the film…

LoVe,
