The Big Sleep

April 4th, 2011 by Claire

I recently went to see The Big Sleep the DCA staring Humphey Bogart. The Big Sleep was made in 1964 and directed by Howard Hawks. It is about a private detective who has been hired to what seems to be a simile black mail from a rich family. Before long it becomes much more complex with not just blackmail but murder and love. I like the old classic movies because they always seem to have some sort of mystery to them. The woman in them are very promiscuous but not like the way woman are in movies nowadays. The woman in these movies have charm, sophistication and are very beautiful. In films today it seems like to make a woman seem promiscuous they just show them as scantily dressed as they can. The woman and men in the old films are very charming and witting which was needed in those films because they did not have the special effects that we do nowadays. If you havent seen this film i highly recommend it. Its witting, charming and very interesting: what more do you need in a film?

Modern craft

April 3rd, 2011 by Claire

Vogue.co.uk has some really interesting trends for the upcoming season. Looking at a few for inspiration for my self motivated project. Modern craft they have described it as ‘homespun craft gets a glamourous rethink’. The colours are mainly nude. The spring/summer shows such as Gucci,  Channel and Nina Ricci saw lots of tassels, crochet  and feathers. This tend is all about reinvented craft into something more glamourous and not to be taken in just a ‘hippy’ style. Designers are going back to the old crafts such as weaving, knotting, plating and knitting. For this trend i love the work being done by Roberto Cavalli.
