Once Upon a Time: The Singapore scoop on Chanel’s new short film

By Bernadette Morra | May 9th, 2013 | 9:00 am

Oh that Karl Lagerfeld.

Turns out he didn’t tell the stars of his latest short film, Once Upon a Time…Deauville 1913, that they would have speaking roles.

“I thought it was going to be a silent movie,” Keira Knightley revealed leading up to the film premiere on the lawn of the Raffles Hotel in Singapore earlier today. Knightley, who plays Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in the lyrical black and white short that depicts the opening of Chanel’s seaside shop, didn’t make it to the party. But plenty others did.

Sipping Singapore Slings and lounging on the rattan chairs: French actress Clotilde Hesme, who plays Chanel’s Aunt Adrienne, Saskia de Brauw who plays Vita Sackville-West, Jamie Bochert, who appears as society muse and patron Luisa Casati, and Stella Tennant, who plays Lady de Grey, an early Chanel fan and pal of Oscar Wilde (his play A Woman of No Importance was dedicated to her.)

Beyoncé debuts jet black hair and a new song in H&M’s swim ad

By Randi Bergman | April 25th, 2013 | 8:00 am

Ah! Beyoncé’s first H&M video promo is out and, well, you already know how we feel about it. Bikini-clad on a remote beach in the Bahamas, Queen Bey twerks her otherworldly curves in the brand’s latest swim collection while debuting her latest single, “Standing On the Sun.” Most importantly perhaps, the 31-year-old singer also debuts new hair—a sleek jet black elbow length cut, which of course, looks amazing. Writhing around in the sand and water, Queen Bey shows off H&M’s high waisted tie-dye bikinis, long and flowing poolside dresses and a feather crown which comes fairly close to fire, but not too close, cause she’s Queen Bey.

Lana Del Rey covers Leonard Cohen in her latest video, Chelsea Hotel No 2

They say two wrongs don’t make a right. But sometimes, three rights don’t make a right either. Or do they? I’m still undecided. Lana Del Rey has released her latest video, a cover of Leonard Cohen’s 1974 “Chelsea Hotel No 2.” The instrumental beauty, which has long been rumoured to have been written about Cohen’s onetime tryst with Janis Joplin, is sung in typical Lana Del Rey form: sexy, languid, sedated. The video, a hazy montage of vintage-style shots of New York’s famed Chelsea Hotel, recalls a little bit of Andy Warhol’s 1966 cult flick, Chelsea Girls.

Given my longtime affinities for Cohen, Warhol and more recently, Del Rey, you’d think I’d love this new blended morsel, however, something’s holding me back. Perhaps it’s too simple a cover? Cohen deserves more than that? From someone who really appreciates him? Who says she doesn’t? So many questions…

While Warhol’s styles have been handily re-appropriated by so many over the years, Cohen’s may deserve a bit more tender loving and seasoned care. By who? I have no other suggestions at the moment but I do sing it really well in the shower.

J.Crew has hit the tube! YouTube, that is. In the brand’s first foray into film, we’re transported to Italy, where many of its It items are created.

For the ladies, “Shiny Ponies” lets us into the world of J.Crew’s Etta shoes. Featuring creative director Jenna Lyons, who owns an estimated 289 pairs of shoes, though she confesses she hasn’t worn all of them. The short film gives a behind the scene look at the design process, the factory in Pisa, Italy, and shows the importance of every step in creating each shoe. After all, you don’t have to be Carrie Bradshaw to appreciate this love letter to such covetable shoes.
