“You’re considered superficial and silly if you are interested in
fashion, but I think you can be substantial and still be interested in
frivolity.” – Sofia Coppola
In case you didn't know her yet, meet this wonderful woman with both (a lot of) beauty and (a lot of) brains :
Sophia Coppola!
She is one of the most talented women out there and I simply
adore her. Sofia is an American screenwriter, film director, actress and producer, mother of 2 and living in Paris.
Oh, and did I mention: fashionista? Because, believe me she is!
Her taste is just... impeccable, really.
This amazing lady masters the art of simple pieces, worn together to create the
perfect laid-back look and a lovely Parisian charm. Minimalistic is the name of the game, but so if
comfort, shown through chunky, over-sized sweaters, skinny pants, fresh
pumps, and little shift dresses.
Having already worked on a few pieces together during the Venice Film Festival last year, Sofia teams up yet again with
Louis Vuitton‘s studio design director
Julie De Libran, this time to produce the entire Resort 2012 line.
“I told her I want a new wardrobe,” tells Sofia. “I’m happy to give my
opinion of, I wish I could have this or that.” And the
collection, with its distinct vintage theme, is all very Sofia. Harking
back to the 60s and 70s era, you can see short tunic-cut dresses, navy print
pajama pants, high-waisted leather-and-wool quilted skirts, and straight
ankle-length pants that all look as if they were pulled out of the
director’s own closet.
High on my wishlist is the
Sofia Coppola bag!
But her amazing taste, is just one of the many reasons I admire Sofia. Another, and more important one is her enormous talent as film director. There are just no words to describe the way her movies effect me, so I'll just show you:
The Virgin Suicides: one of my all time favorite movies and books. With the beautiful Kirsten Dunst in the lead.
Somewhere. One of the best movies ever, if you ask me.
And good news! Sofia is working on a new movie called 'The Bling Ring' with Emma Watson in the lead, can't wait! :)
So, how about you? Do you guys ♥ Sofia Coppola as much as I do? (;
