Coco & Igor’ Cannes Premiere Showing

Celebrity guests dressed to the hilt at the Coco & Igor Cannes’ premiere at Cannes.

It was no surprise that the premiere of Coco & Igor, seen by many as the biggest fashion movie of the year, attracted an audience of finely dressed international celebrities. Coco and Igor, starred by Anna Mouglalis, tells of the love story between couture legend Coco Chanel and composer Igor Stravinsky. It is a cinematic feature full of passion, inspiration, romance, and of course beautiful clothes.

Lead Anna Mouglalis was vibrant in an emerald green gown with a giant bow. Actress Zhang Ziyi showed up in a blush pink metallic dress with a very revealing back, while Shi Qu looked divine in a royal blue, one-shouldered Roberto Cavalli with matching accessories.Tan Zhou was there too in a pale pink strapless gown.

These ladies certainly paid homage to Coco Chanel with their inspired ensembles and knocked the looks right out of the park.

Scarlett Johansson is the Fall Face of Mango 2009

ScarJo seems to model more than act these days.

Mango‘s Fall/Winter ad campaign will feature Scarlett Johansson, replacing Penelope Cruz (also her co-star in Vicky Christina Barcelona). Scarlett is repping so many brands these days we’re kind of missing her in new movies and missing that lonely lost girl she played so well in Lost in Translation.

From WWD:

Mango lauded Johansson’s qualities: “extraordinary personality, fun, young” and adding, “She’s Mango’s ideal urban woman, independent and cosmopolitan.”

Images for the upcoming campaign were shot in Los Angeles by Mario Sorrenti.

Expect to see Hong Kong trams and billboards covered with Scarlett’s face this Fall. We’ll see her on the big screen next in Iron Man 2 which she is filming now but won’t be out till next Summer.

In October 2008, Marc Jacobs first announced that he was teaming up with Swimwear Anywhere Inc. to produce swim separates for the Marc for Marc Jacobs line. The long wait is finally over as the collaboration has produced swimwear that echoes the Marc by Marc Jacobs feel. Pieces are flirty and playful, mixing quirky patterns and cheerful colors that is characteristic of Marc. The adorable Miss Marc also makes an appearance, complete with bows and ruffles.
