I just got through watching the new DVD movie "De-Lovely" with Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd. It's based on the life of Cole Porter. Afterwards, I started watching the Featurette. Initially I thought the costumes were fabulous (but I'm not expert), however, in watching the Featurette, I found they had a special person doing the costumes...Giorgio Armani. In the Featurette, Armani says:
"This movie is set in an era that reflects what I love about fashion-the ideal time for fashion. For instance, for each stage of Cole Porter's life, we created a different look, for the '20s, '30s, and '40s. Therefore we have created some formulas for coats, pants, each pertaining to its own time, staying as truthful and faithful as possible because I believe my work is about today's modern generation. And if today's generation still keeps one eye towards the past, because those were times that reflected beauty, then I will satisfy this need, this eye on the past."
Anyway, when I heard him speaking, I knew I had to post that here. The movie was interesting...good but interesting. I say interesting because I don't agree with Porter's lifestyle but it's a reflection of someone's actual life, and that was creatively done. I was impressed with Alanis Morsette's singing in the movie. MK, the makeup done on the old Porter looks fantastic to my amateur eye.
And for you Indy fans out there...they do sing "Anything Goes."
