Fireworks: Grace Kelly and Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1955 "To Catch a Thief"

My love for film and fashion goes hand in hand for me and inspires me constantly. I will see clothes and reference to a classic movie or I will see a classic movie and be inspired from the wardrobe, the lifestyle, and demeanor of the actors...Just two nights ago, I saw for the first time, Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 To Catch A Thief starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Such a classic movie and to think I never seen this movie til NOW!!!....I absolutely adore Grace and the way she caught her 'thief'..lol! Very witty dialogue and and charming characters along with wardrobe to die for...

Anyway, I love Alfred Hitchcock movies and remember studying his works in college for Film...there is something about the production of how things are put together that intrigue me and Vanity Fair back in Feburary 2008 produced recreated stills of Hitchcock's Classic movies! Although, Mz Lady Yvette ALSO loves to be in the limelight ;-)...I have to say understanding what goes on behind the scene to create a scene is facinating...which reminds me to tell you that I'm working on a project as art director with an emerging designer that I am extremely excited about. For her Spring/Summer 2010 collection I had the honors to conceptualize and produce a fashion shoot she will be using the images for the website store launch! I want to properly introduce this FAB designer's work and I will say to just look out for what's to come...the direction of this project was definitely inspired by a movie and I will be sure to keep you updated...I am off to do first edits of images!

in Love
Lady Yvette

INSIDE THE WORLD OF ANNA - "THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE"

Ladies & Gents (those that are into this stuff...FASHION, yeah!) get ready to mark your calendars for August 28th, 2009...WHY, you ask?...

...Well, I can only speak for myself and how VOGUE magazine has influenced my love and passion for fashion. I collect that magazine for cryin' out loud and for those of you that can admit to referencing to VOGUE as their fashion bible, don't you wonder what ALL goes into publishing a magazine of that stature? And what about the woman who told Oprah to lose 20 lbs, who's behind it all...Anna Wintour - what's it really like to be her? Well, again I can only speak for myself being that my interests lies in fashion editorial and fashion, period but, I think you will be thrilled to know that RJ Cutler's(The War Room) documentary, The September Issue will be released for our viewing fashion fix on that date!!

The Days-In-the-Life of Anna-Wintour and her team of editors are exposed in this documentary showing how American VOGUE's heaviest issue of the year is composed - The September issue. Director and producer, RJ Cutler follows Wintour during the production of the 2007 September issue; their BIGGEST ISSUE EVER including 840 pages, with 727 pages of them being ads.

Already winning the Grand Jury Prize this year at the Sundance Film Festival for Excellence in Cinematography this movie has already started a frenzy amongst those well-connected within fashion with fashion screening parties all over! Bootlegs of course, but I'm gonna wait for the U.S. theatrical release in August. On June 24th, the world premiere of , The September Issue was aired on Access Hollywood and you must check it out! (see below) Just watching I got goosebumps, giddy, and now I am counting the days....
