I'm thinking I'd like a little bit of Italian Fashion to see? We should recreate the costumes from NINE. Dibs on the Kate Hudson silver dress. lol

Sounds great, we'll have to work out a time to go see.

Thanks Antonia for the heads up!

I was in JB's the other day and saw the doco of Valentino for sale. It followed him for 2 years and I nearly bought it. Has anyone seen it and is it good?

I went to the exhibiton yesterday and was very crowded, even at the Bristro. With school holiday coming up, it will be more crowded in the next 2 weeks. I will go to the free fashion movies at the gallery of Modern Art on 2nd Oct Saturday. Anyone would like to go:

1pm is Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton 2007 (82 mins)
3pm Valentino: the last Emperor 2008 (96 mins)


(ps: I like the dress he made for Cate Blanchett to go to the Oscar, that gave me an inspiration for my next Regency dress. There are a group of red dresses, awesome. Cherie, for sure they are your favourite.)

(PS:I just found out Friday 1st Oct at Gallery of Modern Art, free fashion movie at 7pm:

Fendi by Karl Lagerfeld 2009 (52 mins)

Wonder if we can have the Oct meeting in the area of southbank and then go to the movie????
