The first chance for a styling to came to us via Lea Mornar. The Berlin based actress was preparing the ultimate film festival, Cannes. The South of France takes it up 4 notches in Spring. The entire film world descends on the Rivera for fun, sun, and the Red Carpet.
The mission undertaken, get Ms. Mornar noticed both on and off the carpet. Starting with the daywear we needed a complete style representing casual, elegant, and professional for the 10 days. Taking meetings or a stroll on the promenade, visual character had to speak for itself. Italian luxury brand Cividini supplied key looks perfect for La Croisette. Light, rich fabrics that breezy with designs that are sophisticated. We wanted people to notice the details. The striped suit and white blouse became her signature look immediately. Fellow attendees responded immediately to the looks commenting, “the best dressed” to “loving the style”.
Accessories, easy, Spring on the Mediterranean means, sunglasses. Not just one would do but a selection. Having a cafe at a meeting industry spot or interviewing on a yacht, the perfect pair of specs. Sunglasses can convey the dramatic, color, or hip. The brands used: Izipizi and Etnia Barcelona.
The Cannes Red Carpet walk can make a career. As one of the Big 3 Red Carpet Events, an image goes around the world in a matter of seconds. Photographers line both sides and above the walk to the Palais. The competition is fierce. A Hadid in the rear or standing beside a Dior Couture. The dress has to impress. The walker has 2 minutes. Given this level of importance, I enlisted some help.
I called Mephistopheles Productions. The studio collaborates with different Couture Brands in Paris. Feathers, embroidery, and flowing sheer gowns, materials of spectacles.
The design credentials of Patrick Pham and Ziad Nakad served Lea well. The flash and cameras clicked. We have made several global best dressed lists.
Inspired By! I read this quote from a Hollywood Diva.

MIPTV April 2017
Dramas and Virtual Reality are dominating the television landscape at the world’s biggest television fair in Cannes. Is there another Downton Abbey or Game of Thrones on the horizon? A program from Germany has caught the eye of fair, Berlin Babylon, a period crime, mystery period piece set in the Wilmar Republic years of the city. An ambitious 16 episode series production with a large budget, the show centers on the corruption, decadence, and moral decay of 1929 proceeding Hitler’s raise to absolute power told from the point of view of drug addicted Police Inspector Roth played German actor by Volker Bruch.
Babylon Berlin won the Screenings Grand Jury Prize.
Is Virtual Reality the future of entertainment? Tech companies seem to think so. After attending a press event co-chaired by Google I learned Google has a platform for VR content titled Google Daydream. A place where produces can upload new material but mostly geared towards professional makers.
There are two types of immersive VR content; interactive and passive form of entertainment where the viewer is experiences the technology as a virtual voyeur.
I repeat, is VR Technology the future? Although the potential is there, the compelling reason and consumer desire is not. After all, these companies told us wearables are the future. Is anyone out there bragging about their iWatch? Remember Google Glasses? These items have passed into the realm of tech ill relevance.
The equipment is still bulky and expensive. The resolution is not so sharp. Early adapters and tech geeks may love it but the general public may look at this like a hula hoop. VR has been the great could be for decades but never caught the wave. It feels like a product still waiting for the surf that will never come.
Black and Paper at MIP TV Cannes, stay tuned for more reports.
