The show was Matthieu Blazy's fifth catwalk show for Chanel, according to reports. Highlights included skirt suits in pink denim or tissue-fine silks, a turquoise gown with pailettes inspired by an art deco mural, and a little black dress celebrating its centenary. Blazy described the double-C logos as "the rock T-shirt" of Chanel and said Gabrielle Chanel "borrowed the black dress from the workers."
Honor Swinton-Byrne, 28, is the daughter of late playwright John Byrne and Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton. She starred in The Souvenir alongside her mother and told press she is grateful to be a "nepo baby." She revealed she met director Joanna Hogg in a Caffè Nero without knowing she was being evaluated.
I feel like it’s very important to own it [nepotism]. I completely admit and am grateful for the fact that I was considered for The Souvenir because of my connections. But at the same time I continue to act and get jobs because I have skill. I’m still doing it.
Nicole Kidman attended a Chanel dinner on Monday wearing a brown knitted co-ord, according to reports. She recently suffered flu and was rushed to hospital for an IV after filming a wrestling scene for her new Apple+ series 'Margo's Got Money Troubles', in which she plays a pro wrestler. Co-star Nick Offerman said she showed up despite illness. Kidman also broke her silence on her divorce from Keith Urban, saying she is grateful for her family.
I met Joanna in Caffè Nero in Berwick-upon-Tweed. I didn’t have a clue that she was sussing me out for the part. From what I understand she had auditioned so many people and hadn’t quite seen what she wanted. She saw the self-consciousness of 18-year-old me and, yeah, I got it.
the rock T-shirt
Gabrielle watched the swimmers, she tanned herself, she wore French workwear,
She borrowed the black dress from the workers, from the servant, from the shop girls. She decontextualised it and put it on the aristocracy, imposing her taste on them. It was a revenge on her own social status.
There is a quote where she said, 'I like to read the newspaper, like men.' I thought that was really interesting. Also, I like the idea of being on the coast and having fish and chips!
