FASHION'S NEW BOND GIRLIF you can't be a Bond girl, surely the next best thing would be to dress one? Jenny Packham has been asked to dress a few of the pretty ladies being lined up to seduce Daniel Craig in the forthcoming Casino Royale - having already made her Bond debut by dressing Rosamund Pike in Die Another Day. "It was a very sexy scene," says Jenny. "The dress didn't stay on very long." Having shown her latest collection in Milan for the first time last month, Jenny has also been called upon to dress the cast of the forthcoming The Devil Wears Prada (and even received a thank you note from the film's star, Meryl Streep, for her pains), and is now planning a store opening for her ultra-glam main line (in addition to the bridal shop she opened in Belgravia in January), followed by advertising campaigns and plenty more red carpet action - as well as presenting her show at Moscow Fashion Week next week. She already has the likes of Beyoncé, Anna Friel, Kelly Clarkson and Mariah Carey on side and now Pink has become her new best friend. "I saw a picture in a magazine of this beautiful Jenny Packham dress, and I just had to have it for my wedding weekend," says the singer. "I have never received so many compliments in my life from family and friends. Usually they think I look a bit unusual… but I truly felt like a one-of-a kind princess. My husband was all too happy as well and said it looks just as good on the floor." But no matter that her client list is full of famous names, there are two people who refuse to be impressed by Jenny's work. "My seven-year-old daughter told me the models in my autumn/winter show were wearing too much make-up when I showed her the photos," she admits. "And when I announced to my 12-year-old that Beyoncé was wearing one of my designs she just said, 'Oh. I'm not really in to her anymore.'" (March 30 2006, AM)![]()
Lesson #5: The Devil Doesn't Always Wear Prada
People think I take fashion and tell [the actors] what to wear, but it doesn't really work that way. I consider myself there to support the actor and to help the actor develop his or her character [through wardrobe]. Because the actor is there in front of the camera, not you. Everybody is individual and you have to treat everybody on an individual basis. And everybody comes with their body. Sometimes the body is slim and tall, sometimes it's short. Sometimes the posture is great and sometimes it's not so great. And the actor also comes with a brain and how they see themselves, and they have to feel comfortable in front of that camera. They can't be thinking 'Oh, I can't move right in this.' They can't be thinking about their clothing when they're doing their job as an actor. They need to be feeling good and confident and comfortable. So the relationship with the actor has to be one of trust and confidence and respect. I mean, now I know Sarah Jessica inside-out. But when I started with Meryl Streep [on "Prada"] I had never met her before. I didn't really even know her body. My main thing was to try and make Meryl look good, and the only rule that I was strict about was to make her look expensive. But it wasn't about any particular designer or trend or time. So you're going to see a little Prada - I'm going to open with a Prada bag, and she wears a Prada suit in a big important scene and a Prada coat somewhere along the line. But I wasn't trying to go Anna Wintour. I just thought of her as a famous, powerful fashion editor. She could have been Diana Vreeland or a dozen different women. So I used some 1980 Donna Karan vintage because it fits beautifully and it looked really good. I used a lot of Bill Blass because that line uses the most expensive fabrics you can find. I just wanted nice clothes on her, not a name that you would necessarily recognize. My goal was to make her look good. So I hope I achieved that. Anne Hathaway's character starts off as a college graduate who's not into fashion at all - she wants to be a writer and is very J. Crew-ish - so I used a lot of Chanel on her because [in the movie] she dressed from the [fashion department] closet, and it was one of those brands that would be in that closet and that she could wear with her personality. And I used some Calvin Klein on her, as well. So she was more a signature type of dresser, much more like 'It's from this collection' and not so original, let's say. Emily Blunt plays the other assistant, and I dressed her in a lot of Rick Owens and Vivienne Westwood, because she's a more offbeat, fashion type of dresser. And with Stanley Tucci, who plays the male assistant, I dressed him a little eccentrically but with a conservative base. I used a lot of vests but tucked them into the pants so you saw the belt. And most of the times the vest didn't match the suit or the jacket or pants; I kind of mixed it up. And I used some big, eccentric jewelry on him - a ring and lapel pins or something on his tie. Stanley is a very expressive, explosive actor. So when you have somebody who does that kind of characterization, you can explode them in clothes, too. He was totally enjoying it. I love dressing men, actually. I don't dress enough men.

hunaja said:Same.
Ianastar said:It was funny in the book, because everyone kept saying...."People would kill for that job" etc...and I was like.........yeah, and I'm one of them.
Ianastar said:If you read Anna Wintour's biography........FRONT ROW and Devil Wears Prada....some of the stories are SOOOOOO similar that it's scary.
i know various fashion designers are actually involved in the plot of the book. are any actually appearing in the movie???
