His strong artistic personality and the products of his talent are what shine, not the details of his life. But what I do know about him … Read more
Summer Movie Guide 2012

LØV
If you recall, we did a post about Kate Bosworth’s Nordic-themed campaign for Vanessa Bruno’s Fall 2011 collection a couple of months ago. The full-length version of “LØV” by Stephanie Di Giusto has finally been released. LØV from Vanessa Bruno on Vimeo.

Rose Byrne at the SAG Awards 2012
Rose Byrne was a vision when she stepped onto the red carpet at the 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday evening. In a white beaded, plunging neck, wide-legged jumpsuit from Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2009, she looked every bit as elegant and glamorous as always.
