A special “style lounge” will be opened at this year’s Venice Film Festival to showcase short films made by fashion designers and design houses.
The films to be featured include Designer-turned-director Tom Ford’s very first movie A Single Man.
Tom Ford’s movie, starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode and Nicholas Hoult, will premiere on Sept. 11, closing the festival as the final film.
The other fashion films to be screened at the Venice Film Festival include Edoardo Winspeare’s Les Noces de Papier for Louis Vuitton; La Scarpa by Andrea Rovetta for Ferragamo, and Paris-Moscou by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel.
Though Tom Ford’s first feature film will be screened in the main competition, the others won’t be entered for the festival’s main The Golden Lion Award prize. They will be shown alongside the film industry’s most promising Oscar contenders.
Tom Ford’s film is set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the peak of the Cuban missile crisis, and tells the tale of a British professor struggling after the death of his longtime partner. According to Ford’s production company, “The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.”

Sometimes words can’t describe what Sandra Backlund can do with a knit. We are constantly amazed by her innovative and modern approach to a medium that is otherwise resigned to the ‘more mature’ generation. Each piece in the collection is improvised; rather than being based on patterns Sandra designs as she knits. What we most enjoy is that despite her success since the label’s inception in 2004 (note: a collaboration with Louis Vuitton for Fall 2007/08), there is still that bespoke stamp to each piece.
Rumors rumors… Madonna should be the star of the Spring 2009 Louis Vuitton campaign. The campaign should be shot by the prolific Mert and Marcus. Interesting and possibly true.
