My friend Diane Pernet, who has what I think is the best fashion blog period, A Shaded View on Fashion, has been give the honor of presenting the first annual fashion film festival at the Jeu de Paume.
Why I think Diane’s blog is the best out there, is that she really reports on the cutting edge of fashion, style, artists, and artisans from all over the world and not the obvious industry fodder about the latest overpriced “it” bag or latest Karl Lagerfeld folly on most fashion blogs.
"A Shaded View on Fashion Film" is a spin off from the successful You Wear it Well Festival. A prestigious jury from the worlds of art, cinema, and fashion will judge a selection of short films produced by designers, photographers, stylists and creators in the fashion world. The festival is a study in the drama, power and personification that fashion evokes and commands on screen. Three documentaries are making their France debut: the 2003 cult Brtish film The Cockettes and two others called Masters of Style about John Galliano & Alexander McQueen.
