There will be not ONE, but three CoCo Chanel biopic film projects happening. Talk about perfect timing! As reported by Variety, Audrey Tautou “will star as Coco Chanel in a $15 million biopic about the legendary French fashion designer”. The film “will focus on Chanel’s childhood and early womanhood, was specially conceived with Tautou in mind”. Interesting. Audrey Tautou is a wonderful actress, I’ve seen all of her films and I can’t wait to see her play CoCo.
Do you notice a resemblance between the two?
Here’s a first look of another Chanel made-for-TV film. Shirley MacLaine is “playing Chanel in a two-part biopic about her life due to air later this year on US TV. Slovakian actress Barbora Bobulova plays Chanel before the Second World War with Maclaine picking up the part from 1954″.
Yesterday, Fabsugar reported that “The Secret Story of Chanel and Stravinsky (Chanel et Stravinsky, l’Histoire Secrete) will star Chanel muse Anna Mouglalis (pictured) as Coco. The film is set between 1913 to 1925 and portrays her relationship with Igor Stravinsky. Coco’s love affair with the Russian composer has previously been documented in a book titled ‘Coco and Ivor’ by Chris Greenhalgh.”
Can we get enough of CoCo documentaries and films? I think NOT. And, who plays a better CoCo - that, we’ll have to find out soon enough.

First, Rogan. Now, Richard Chai. Target is keeping the money rolling in with fancy collaborations. What can I say? I crave for things like that. Chai’s collection with Target will be launched in August and NYLON magazine has got the first look. Nothing ground-breaking - but affordable, chic everyday looks. Now I wish there’s a Target in Singapore.

I like dolls. At one point, I was collecting Jem and the Holograms dolls from eBay. You know, reliving the childhood period. The most expensive doll I bid for was Aja Leith doll in mint condition (the lead guitarist and also the most rare, if you’re no familiar) for USD$179 and I won it before I sold it off again for a profit. LOL. Then, I got into my Barbie phase - in particular, My Fair Lady figurines. Yes, my love for the film and Audrey Hepburn extended to plastic versions.
However, I think these Viktor & Rolf dolls look like the Bride of Chucky in couture. Viktor said, “Every garment is like a couture garment. Everything was scaled down — the embroideries, the prints, all the accessories.” No matter how freaky they look, I’m actually quite into them at the moment:
Possibly my favourite of the lot.
Pretty in Pink violins. There’s a black doll. Where’s the Asian?
I love the detailing on each doll. NO! Don’t be a “YES” woman.
Ooh, nice locks. You don’t get these clothes with Barbie.
Now, that’s one Asian lookin’ doll. Or Japanese. I love youuuu too.
What’s with the suspension?

Get ready for an explosion of neon, bright colours at this year’s Jean Paul Gaultier Fall Couture show! I’m in awed. In the cluttered fashion world, you need something crazy and bizarre to stand out from the crowd. JPG definitely nailed it this time. Bring out the drama with feathers, satin, leather - you name it. The models look like some fascinating deep-sea creatures with a hint of equestrian style.
Have you seen them in the deep sea?
WOW. I like.
Cage Skirt! (Hint to Susie Bubble & Wottoncool). Hope the collars are not real fur.
The beehive. Is he taking the cue from Amy Winehouse?
Err. I’m not loving these.

Talk about cute. I recently discovered Fifi Lapin. What or Who is that? According to the blog, “Hi, I’m Fifi. Fifi Lapin. I was born one of 257 brothers and sisters but sadly there was an outbreak of myxamatosis when I was one year old and I was the only one that survived. My parents are therefore incredibly protective of me and spoil me rotten. I’m an haress to my fathers fortune which he made playing fast and loose with carrot and lettuce shares on the international stock market. There are a lot of rabbits out there so I guess he just struck gold (or orange you might say). Some people think I’m just a socialite but I think there is more to me than just an extremely stylish clotheshorse!”
Haha. I like the simple bunny illustration. Makes me want to get my pens out and start doodling! Maybe after my exam. I’ve set up a new blog recently - it’s my mission to get fit and tone up the body. You can check my fitness blog at My Secret Fitness Diary. No, I’m not neglecting Fash-E, I just need a blog to motivate me!

Sorry for the hiatus. I’ve been sticking my head in the books - exam is happening in 7 days or less! Plus, I’ve to juggle my time finishing stuff at work. I’m still religiously reading my daily fashion blogs and sites. I’ve been reading Trend de la Creme for awhile. They’re awesome in trendspotting. John Galliano presented his haute couture fall-winter 2008/2009 fashion collection for Dior yesterday. I don’t know about you, but I think the ‘helmet head’ look is kinda cool.

iPhone may be cool. But, designer phones are the talk of the town. Somehow, this Christian Dior phone reminds me of the Nokia Prism series. Priced between $3500 to $5000, this phone is almost reaching Vertu’s level. So what’s cool about this: 3G connectivity, a touch screen display, a digital camera and graphics and wallpapers. Okay, I think the iPhone is cooler - and possibly, prettier.

I’ve been reading Garance Doré for awhile. And, I’ve been crushing on this Miu Miu dress for a long time - yes, we’ve seen the Topshop and Bysi versions as well. Nobody takes photos like Garance Doré - well, maybe The Sartorialist. I can’t read French but I like to admire the photos and ingenuity that he captures. I’m thinking… maybe I should take up photography?
