Fashion Week in New York has come and gone
and because The Desketeers are nothing if not slaves to fashion, our Circ de Cinema pick of the week is that tasty confection from the 50's Funny Face starring Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn.
When photographer Dick Avery comes across the "funny face" of bookstore denizen Jo he lures her to the City of Light to become his model and in turn falls in love. What we love is the lush Paris backdrop and of course, the clothes, which were designed by Givenchy. Even fashion photographer great Avedon helped with the photography shown in the film. All of this and the Gershwin score too! While not exactly the same as a long weekend in Paris or even a short trip down the catwalk, this is escapism at it's best.
Happy Weekend!
