今年有太多精彩的影片, 從獨立設計師的服裝發表作, 到各大品牌香水廣告等, 自製短片幾乎是時尚圈的全民運動。 雖然現在的Fashion Films還在玩影像視覺的階段, 大多數並沒有編劇或演技等構成一部電影所必需的重要條件。 不過, 這也讓它的未來更值得被興奮期待不是嗎?!
幫侯佩岑改造的洋裝
大概是在今年3月初, 我開使幫一些熟識的客人做衣物改造的"秘密服務"。因是實驗階段, 想測試需求及成效, 並未大肆宣揚。 要讓我重新設計改造條件有二:
1. 布料差的或廉價服裝不收: 因為沒必要再多花費去處理沒救的東西。
2. 只為胖瘦想修改長短大小不收: 因為那一般市面上的修改師就能解決。
因服裝本身結構的限制, 重新設計修改非常有挑戰性。80年代的Montana寬大西裝搖身一變成今年俐落的聳肩外套, Burberry英國毛呢老爺褲被改成合腿垮褲。就連上圖原本方直的垂袖長洋裝, 線條重修加釘鑽之後, 搭配超長統皮靴就成了Famme Fatal。
經過幾次改造滿意的客人, 開使呼朋引伴, 整理起衣櫃把衣物送來整型。 這項服務幫她們解決一重要問題: 從此不用再煩惱舊衣物是該留還是該送。 她們開始享受改造服裝與當季服飾混搭的樂趣, 既不浪費又能有"穿新衣"的驚喜。
在全球環保議題不斷被探討的當下, 我想我找到了自己的方法。並不是穿樹葉或回收紙才叫環保。 學習如何再創造、改進我們已擁有的東西, 讓它發揮其最大的價值也是珍惜資源的表現。 人是持續成長改變的, 如果一件衣服也能跟著我們不同階段的需求而改變呢?

2009年讓我印象最深刻的街頭影像並非完美的模特兒們, 而是這些有著獨特風格魅力的成熟女人。 青春亮麗的女孩搶眼是理所當然, 可當一個充滿自信的女人在街頭吸引你所有注意力時, 那就真是藝術了。
當多數上了年紀的女人早已放棄（或沒有勇氣）妝扮自己時。 這些女人不同; 她們沒有讓歲月與生活奪走享受時尚的樂趣。 如果說衣著能反映出個人的生活方式, 那她們的身上就佈滿了讓我想像力一發不可收拾的線索: 我會好奇的想要知道, 她頸上的古董項鍊是第幾任情人送的禮物? 或穿著YSL的優雅女人發起脾氣來會有什麼舉動? 在晚餐桌上她聊到什麼故事讓賓客對她的經歷更加著迷....
Colleen Atwood 是Alice in Wonderland的劇服設計師, 她的作品包括Tim Burton 的 Edward Scissorhands 與Sleepy Hollow; 還得過兩座奧斯卡最佳劇服設計獎(Chicago和Memoirs of a Geisha)!!
Tim Burton在一段訪談中說到Johnny Depp創造Mad Hatter角色前, 花了許多心思在造型選擇上"He's the type of actor that a lot of the character comes from the look of the outfit," he said. "It helps him really create and get into who the character is." 完整訪談在此~~
從不看電視的Vivienne Westwood為何自己要求上Jahathan Ross的電視訪談呢? 原來是為了讓更多的人了解全球暖化的議題。 近年來看到Westwood從聲援人權運動、抨擊反恐法、發表反對Propaganda的宣言等等，高齡並沒有影響她的熱情與行動力。 在這最新的訪談之中，她呼籲人們減少無謂的消費。 從服裝到文化與生活，應要重新審思、建立新的價值觀。她說：
Buy less, and choose well. Don't buy things for the sake of it, 'cause everyone will just look alike.
Human race, is it going to survive? I mean, we should get passionate about that.
Understand the world you are living. But you need to go deep, if your don't have depth, you don't understand the world you are living.
當然，她看起來美極了!!
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

To me, philosophical question, the existential questions, the religious questions were more interesting to me personally. I've been influenced specifically by him. Just as one writer influenced by another writer.
He explores these questions and dramatizes some the best thinkers on the subject and does it with enormous theatricality.
You don't come away depressed, you come away with exhilarated feelings, because you're in the presence of great art.
Part I
Because after all they were frighten as children.......It's all based on Red Riding Hood. Nothing has changed since Red Riding Hood. So what they're frighten of today are exactly the same thing they're frighten of yesterday.
The assembly of pieces of film to create fright, is the central part of my job. Just as much as a painter putting certain colors together to create evil on canvas.
I believe in putting the horror in the mind of the audience, and not necessarily on the screen.
Q: What is a good cry as opposed to bad cry.
A: I think it's the satisfaction of temporary pain.
What is reality? I don't think many people want reality. I think it must look real. But it never must be. Because reality is none of us can really stand at anytime.
昨夜兜了兩瓶紅酒去M家看戲；是早想看卻不斷錯過的La Belle Personne 和 Ma Mère。
Louis Garrel這6年來的作品挑戰了各式情慾類型的可能。 對象之多變從妹妹、母親、男孩、女演員到高中學生；似乎沒有任何表演禁忌，而他年僅26歲!! Louis Garrel常在訪談中表達出對電影學識和歷史超齡透澈的觀點，這和他出身自電影世家有著絕對的關係。
不難理解導演Christophe Honoré何以連續三部影片都以他為主角，可惜與他同戲的女演員很容易淡化為陪襯，因為鏡頭裡的光源點總是主動圍繞在Garrel身上。所幸新生代女星Léa Seydoux終於改變了這"不平等"表像；她把La Belle Personne中，Junie謎樣的隱藏與漠然，詮釋的極其自然，成功抗衡Nemours(Garrel)的風流倜儻。
五段影片由上至下為：La Belle Personne(2008)/Actrices(2007)/Les Chansons d'amour(2007)
近來不只是電影，連音樂都要賣血來刺激銷售。 La Roux《 In For the Kill》 歌詞還不夠狠，The Kills乾脆在《Black Ballon》灑起血漿。 最最最高明的還是YYY;《Heads Will Roll》的服裝、燈光、場景道具、特效設計全像舞台劇般精心編排，還不忘向Michael Jackson的Thriller致敬。 It's bloody brilliant!!!
My heart is screaming!!!! 9 must see reasons?!
1. 閃****到讓我睜不開眼的女明星集團
2. I am a sucker for musicals!
3. To witness Nicole and Penélope sharing the same stage for once...instead of the same ex.
4. Anthony Minghella生前最後的編劇作品.
5. I'll be my annual costumes investigation fun.
6. Marion Cotillard looks unbelievable in the trailer; her expression tansports me through time.
7. The resurrection of Fellini sounds dreamy~
8. Waiting for Kate Hudson and Fergie to prove me wrong:)
9. Hoping for a breakthrough after Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha!!
