Part of an extended fall campaign, rag & bone premiered its latest “Time of Day” short shot on 16mm film by Thimios Bakatakis (of The Lobster fame) in an idiosyncratic manner so characteristic to the cinematographer, but also eluding to locations essential to the designer itself.
The film follows EH fall cover star Lakeith Stanfield, Emma Roberts, Kate Mara,Boyd Holbrook,Pom Klementieff, Reed Morano, Lake Bell, and Jon Hamm throughout different parts of the day in both New York or Los Angeles. In a handheld method, Bakatakis first follows Kate Mara in the East Village (where rag & bone was born) to Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, where the first store was opened.
With limited dialogue and no direct storyline, the viewer is led down the rabbit hole of rag & bone fantasy in a Wes Anderson-esque film where the absurd starts to makes sense.
Twenty some hours ago, Naomi Campbell sent out a semi-cryptic tweet reading, “A Dreamcometrue guess where I am … ??” And while we immediately ‘guessed’ Paris Fashion Week, the why she was there proved a little more significant.
”I’m so happy to be here in Paris tonight to walk for Donatella. We’ve known each other over 25 years now. Straight away I felt like part of the family, everybody was so warm and supportive. And of course there was Gianni. Apart from being one of the most inspirational and respected of designers of all time, he was like a brother to me… always there in good and bad times the memory will never fade. So as you can tell this is an emotional evening for me. It really is a great privilege to be here.”
It’s been fifteen years since Campbell has worked the runway for Versace, so when the forty-three-year-old super-beauty hit the stage, the flashbulbs danced into an immediate cosmic trance.
Her first look, a bodysuit — emphasis on the body — was constructed using hook and eyes to hold the jacket together, while the fastenings were “left undone in certain places giving the impression of being undressed,” the house said, adding that each hook was held in place with Swarovski crystals.
Then she was back, closing out the show, this time offering even more leg in a body suit embroidered with black crystals and a woven mink fur and chiffon and silk tulle cardigan that breezed back and forth with each commanding step.
Donatella Versace was on hand sans her signature Marlboro Reds (“For the first month and a half, I had no desire to smoke. Now, all of a sudden, I see someone with a cigarette, I want to steal it.”) telling reporters ”I wanted to make [the show] new, and pictured a sexy and sophisticated woman with a strong attitude. Only a true icon like Naomi Campbell could open this show.”
Celebs including Uma Thurman, Emma Roberts, Mena Suvari, and Zachary Quinto were on hand (hiding any cigarettes, we hope) to watch Campbell do what Campbell do best. And she did.
A few lot of things we love crossed paths last night at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Salvatore Ferragamo creative director Massimillian Giormetti, along with Harper’s BAZAAR and Jacqui Getty, toasted the launch of the women’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection with a star studded presentation and private dinner inside Bungalow 1 at the Chateau Marmont. The entire collection was on hand as were a good tranche of Hollywood/LA society elite, enjoying the night regaled in all manner Ferragamo—from full looks to gorgeous accessories. Certainly, LA was where the fashion scene was at last night. Check out beauties like Demi Moore (who, really wows in a Ferragamo dress), Emma Roberts, Rachel Zoe, Gia Coppola (all in head to toe Ferragamo) and Nicole Richie and Gia Coppola, both rocking the accessories. And for the guys, Evan Peters, Keegan Allen and George Kotsiopoulos looked nothing but debonair their range of Ferragamo men’s looks. By the way, the collection releases this weekend. Check event pics after the jump.
