Shutter Island Style

There were probably no more than three costume changes for Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo in Shutter Island. At first I was concentrating on the horror and excitement of the first half, then as the scene began to settle into a twisty huh-what-when roller coaster I started noticing the clothing instead.

I refer to the wooly (it has to be?) blue suit worn in the movie as pictured below with Mark Ruffalo. The style immediately reminded me of D&G 2006 Sailor trousers. Thick and larger in fit this style has made the odd appearance but is unrealistic in terms of it's wearability. Perhaps other Winters are less forgiving, but locally that would still be far too warm.

The ties were a real treat too! Including the big knot and almost rounded ends likened to a scarf. Not to mention the trousers which came up past the belly button. I quite enjoyed the large frames of the overcoats that were clearly too big but worked in it's time.

Did you enjoy Shutter Island?

Adam Kimmel Fall 2010

Spongebob Squarepants and the Grinch had a love child, or several in Adam Kimmels new Fall collection.
Apart from the absurd and disturbing masks (which I love) the reasonably small collection featured some amazing alternative double breasted suits in velvet and pin stripe. Love it.

Must see: Fireflies in the Garden

Last night I went to watch a Fantastic Gem of a movie! Starring Ryan Reynolds as Michael in Fireflies in the Garden. I didn't know what kind of movie it would end up being but with a cast like this one is rarely disappointed. Julia Roberts and oddly enough Heroes star Hayden Panettiere deliver beautiful performances in this haunting tale of a family in ruins.

Ryan Reynolds, who could honestly make a Bin bag look good surely enjoys his signature style at Premieres. A safe look of white shirt, skinny tie. In fact he seems to use the same ties at every premiere only switching suits from YSL to Tom Ford or Gucci. Oh, to be a celebrity...

Youtube didn't seem to have a good enough quality video of the preview but there are tons out there if you would like to watch it. Just ignore all the Dutch Subtitles.
