Coco Before Chanel: More Than Just a Fashion Flick
I thought I had a good handle on the woman, the legend, Coco Chanel: Gabrielle, a magical seamstress, androgynous, smoker. Little did I know when I sat down to see Coco Before Chanel that I was going to embark on an emotional roller coaster — beautiful, deep, tear-inducing.
Naturally, a big part of the film is the wardrobe, but don't go expecting extravagance.

Trend Alert: Long and Lean Pearls
Put on your pearls girls! I know the majority of you prefer diamonds but pearls — long and lean ones — are experiencing a rebirth. My motto is anything that SJP wears, grants trend status; however, I don't think pearls can be considered trendy.
Fab Flash: More Female Designers Exuding Influence
Big change is afoot in the fashion industry: after the 90s, which were dominated by male designers, women designers seem to be taking the upper hand.
Even though female designers have a long way to go in male-run fashion capitals like New York and Paris, there does seem to be a trend emerging, particularly in Milan. In Italy alone, a large number of family-run companies were founded or are helmed by women: Alberta Ferretti, Prada, Versace, Fendi, Trussardi, Missoni, Etro, and Emilio Pucci.
Look of the Day: Golden Girl
As Coco Chanel used to say, "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." That's always been one of my favorite Chanel quotes, and I dug it out because I think ascotfriday really exemplifies a unique style. She is a golden girl with her seventies-inspired beachy look.
