New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham the Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns "On the Street" and "Evening Hours”, for nearly three decades. Documenting uptown fixtures, downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.

The words above are not my own but I couldn’t really put it any better, if you are a fan of fashion, photography or just watching things about truly interesting and charming people this documentary is a must watch. Bill Cunningham take pictures that are unplanned/uninitiated, which is something I personally aspire to, but the charm and grace and speed Bill Cunningham demonstrates and the results he draws out of just everyday people is not something you can replicate but can only take inspiration from. You can now buy it on DVD from Amazon and should be able to get it off iTunes soon enough.

- T, must admit I did get a bit choked up in a few of the scenes the man is just so damn charming

Since this piece of cotton got this “T” cut in the early Fifties, the T-Shirt has been propelled to the cornerstone symbol of pop culture. Throughout the world, billions of people wear T-Shirts every day. However the secrets behind this global fashion phenomena are still unknown by most. T-Shirt Stories is the first account of the underlying culture, history, business and personalities that surround the T-Shirt and fuel this fashion revolution.

The production team behind this film takes the viewer on a journey from London to Los Angeles and from Tokyo to Paris to reveal the history, talk with graphic design legends and shed the light on all sorts of activism that used T-Shirts to spread messages and grow alongside freedom movements.

PSA – YSL L’Amour Fou
Thursday March 24th 2011, 1:25 pm - Articles,Movies,Reviews
lamour-fou

Where to begin with YSL L’Amour Fou, firstly if you didn’t know there is a French Film Festival on in Brisbane right now. This happens to be one of the supposed highlights of the event, and to get to my point it most definitely is not.

It mostly concentrates on candid moments of Y’ves personal life with very little footage of the actual events, narrated by his life partner Pierre Bergé. Mostly pieced together with bad quotes, stock footage, and a handful of decent photographs which is presented in a 100 minutes of pain. This public service announcement is purely to warn you from wasting your time and a public apology to our homosexual life partner Stuart Arrowsmith for dragging him along.

Save yourself $16 and jump on Amazon or Borders and pick yourself up this instead, Yves Saint Laurent – His Life and Times/5 Avenue Marceau 75116 Paris a double feature which is a far more interesting watch about his early years and the latter his final collection in 2001 which dives into his creative process.

- T, literally the worst night ever in Brisbane…

Now Showing – I’m Here by Spike Jonze
Wednesday March 24th 2010, 12:16 am - Movies,Videos

Im Here

I’m Here” is a web short by uber hyped up director Spike Jonze, a love story about two robots. I didn’t care much for “Where The Wild Things Are”, however Spike Jonze’ style of movie making really works in a short film format because its super stylistic and carries on in a very slow and steady pace. The story is just lovely, I wont spoil it for you be sure to check it out yourself here on the official I’m Here.

- T, Grey Goose is better
