Designers, Fashions and Runways | Entertainment Studios
You can watch season one on Netflix and to continue the series it's now an online TV show. What I enjoy about this show is that I can learn about designers that I haven't heard of before. It's also a behind the scenes and interview with the designer during each episode. The designers tell their stories of how they began their career in the fashion industry.
This site also gives you the option to subscribe through Google Reader for alerts when they publish new episodes. I recommend buying a sketchpad and watch for inspiration.

Valentino: The Last Emperor (2008)
It's been 4 years since Valentino's documentary that takes you through his process from start to finish of his last few collections of his life. If you are curious about how creativity can build a Fashion Empire this is must see!
Short Synopsis
Produced and
directed by Matt Tyrnauer, Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair magazine,
Valentino: The Last Emperor provides a first-time glimpse into Valentino’s world
of bygone glamour. Filmed from June 2005 to July 2007, the crew shot over 250 hours
of footage with exclusive, unprecedented access to Valentino and his entourage. The resulting
non-fiction film is a portrait of an extraordinary partnership, the longest running
in fashion, and a dramatic story about a master confronting the final act of
his celebrated career.
The Twilight of Haute Couture
One of the film’s brightest stars is haute couture itself. Today, haute couture appears to have entered a twilight phase amidst an era of global branding and mass retailing. The opportunity to capture, in the highest level of detail, the process of making haute couture was one of the reasons director Matt Tyrnauer was so attracted to the project. “This was something very remarkable. I felt it was very important to capture what may be the last great couture house of the golden era still operating under the man who founded it,” Tyrnauer says.Each haute couture dress sells for tens, sometimes hundreds, of thousands of dollars. Valentino is often considered the last of the true couture masters, having been trained during the 1950’s under Jean Desses, who learned the craft of couture in the 1920’s. There is an unbroken lineage in the work of Valentino from the golden age of couture to the present day.
The Seamstresses
Valentino: The Last Emperor details the passion and emotion and labor that is a part of the haute couture process. From the sketchbook to the runway, the film captures the human drama of a dying art. To achieve this, many hours were spent filming Valentino’s team of highly trained couture seamstresses, who work in white lab coats in white rooms at Valentino headquarters in Rome’s Palazzo Mignanelli.The seamstresses, for the most part, have worked for Valentino for generations. Some are the daughters of women who have worked there in the past, others have been there for nearly half a century. While the seamstresses are apprenticed and not formally trained, their mastery of the craft is unparalleled. At one time, there were two hundred seamstresses at work making Valentino couture, all by hand. At the time the movie was shot, there were approximately seventy.
Director Matt Tyrnauer was very intrigued with the couture process, and saw a lot of potential in elaborating on the process on film. “In film school, when a professor showed us Buster Keaton’s The General, about a train engineer during the Civil War, he quoted Keaton as saying that, at the film’s end, he wanted the viewer to know how to drive a locomotive,” says Tyrnauer. “I had that in mind as we filmed the movie. I told the cinematographer that I wanted viewers to feel they knew how to make a couture dress by the time the film was over.”

Kim Kardashian was Flour-Bomed
Read more to know the whole story!
This is my follow up post from my original post here regarding one of the Kardashian sisters advertising campaign with PETA against wearing fur! Kim Kardashian was flour-bombed at a fragrance launch in Hollywood! She mysteriously dropped all of the charges. I don't believe it has anything to do with her marriage, but more that people are tired of her ripping their ideas off. They probably have something on her in order to have the guts to pull off a stunt like this!

Hipster Fashion Cycle
Where exactly does the cycle start when a fashion trend emerges? I grew up in the 1980's and thought it was the worst fashion era of all and some how it is all back in style. For those of us who have already grown out of it, here is a graphic to enjoy the cycle. I bet you wish you kept all of those ugly clothes and shoes you had!

Alexander Wang Hit With $50 Million Lawsuit, Is Accused of Running a Sweatshop
Do you believe this is true? I know that sweatshops have been around for years. A lot of fashion designers buy their fabric from overseas where labor laws are more relaxed than in America. This situation may or may not have happened in Alexander Wang's fashion house, but the fact is, this is still happening in Asia today. Other companies such as Wal-mart and Nike have undergone similar law suits.

See Calvin Klein's Bold New Men's Underwear (and Models): Details
This video was co-directed by Fabien Baron and photographer was Steven Klein. I love this commercial because it is visual art that appeals to my tastes in the opposite sex and the colors are bright, bold just the way I like a man's personality to be. The music is invigorating and tells a story of its own. Yes, this leaves me wanting more.

Fashion vs. Costume
Film inspires fashion designers and fashion designers can inspire film wardrobe designers. It's the fun of the fantasy of the character of the films that people want to bring to life or relive the moment of the emotions they felt during the film. Fashion connects film to people as well as the story does.
