Art Deco Chic at The MOV


I love fashion. [In fact, I named my daughter after one of its superstar icon (Gabrielle Chanel). ]

At the MOV (Museum of Vancouver) until September 23, there is a showing of Art Deco Chic, an exhibition of what is considered as the beginning of modern fashion. Some of the garment/work of art are from Chanel, Lanvin, Vionnet, Patou, and Schiaparelli. In case you aren't able to make it to the exhibition, here are some pics (they are only taken with my phone, so they are not great quality).

Movies


This is one of the movies I saw while captive on a plane. Amazing! This subtitled movie (French) was a harrowing story of a brother and sister's discovery of their mother's life. If you prefer light Hollywood type of films, however, this may not be for you because it is very intense.  
It is Seriously good.

This is an interesting/strange movie (also in French and subtitled), a bit confusing, but I think that's the point. It's about this French woman (Juliette Binoche) living in Tuscany who is a fan of a visiting British author promoting his book. They meet supposedly to discuss the book but end up visiting around the the town. 

Be prepared to be confused and intrigued.
