New section: Fashion films

Film industry and fashion industry have always been very closely connected. We could analyze the changes of fashion styles through movies during the history of the last century. And we also can find a lot of fashion outlooks that become famous thanks to some movies that used those styles. 

This blog is about fashion, but we also talk every week about film releases all around the UK. So, we believe it's time to open a new section on the blog that connects both fashion and films. Because they are two artistic currents that we enjoy very much.

On last week's billboard post, we updated the trailer of Scatter my Ashes at Begdorf's. So, we thought it was the best option to speak about this movie, about fashion, to open this section. 

Begdorf is the most mythical of all American emporiums - and the scene of many an ultimate fashion fantasy. Now audiences get a rarified chance to peek behind the backroom doors and into the reality of the fascinating inner workings and fabulous untold stories from Bergdorf Goodman's iconic history in Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's.

Directed by Matthew Miele, this documentary on the Manhattan department store will interview an array of fashion designers, style icons, and celebrities.

Style: Mr Peter Beard, the icon of the week

We'd like to open a new section on the blog, called Style. Here we'll choose every week one style icon and talk about him. We believe that having style is the result of how do you combine clothes and accessories and the attitude you adopt while wearing them. No matter what you wear, no matter where you are, no matter what you are doing... you must always feel comfortable, confident and great. If you manage to do so, the image you'll project will be the image of elegance and style. An authentic gentleman.

We'd like to inaugurate this section talking about the style of Mr. Peter Beard. His photographs of Africa, African animals, and the journals that often integrate his photographs have been widely shown and published since the 1970s.

Beard is famous not only for his photographs of endangered African elephants but also of supermodels and rock stars like Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Iman and Veruschka. Beard channels most of his creative energy into his collage-work and diaries, which he began to compile in 1949 at the age of eleven. In these works, he documents the history of his relationships with (among other things): Africa, Karen Blixen, the New York art scene, the fashion world, Hollywood, and the Kennedy administration.

We like how Beard looks like, no matter the type of clothes he's wearing. Military style or typical African clothes. He always looks just great. That's why we chose him to be our first style icon. If you like his style, what do you think about the combination below?
