Guinevere van Seenus stars in Aanteni, a high-fashion techno-thriller from CFDA award-winning design sisters Rodarte, shot by their friend and frequent collaborator, the photographer and video artist Todd Cole. Set in the deserted grounds of Paypal founder Elon Musks Space X jet lab in Hawthorne, California, the film was inspired by the pioneering spirit of the space race, which, according to Rodartes Kate and Laura Mulleavy, has defined generations of artists in their desire to use new mediums and question the established rules they were taught to follow. This cinematic collision between rocket science and visual daring is an apt match for Rodartes spring 2010 collection—a symphony of flesh-colored crochet knits, fluorescent fibres, leather bandages and distressed plaid. Costumed in a series of these exquisite creations, Van Seenus blurrily emerges from a shimmering seascape before running through the starkly alluring spaces of the Space X facility—a former Boeing airline hanger that has been transformed into what the Mulleavys call a world defined by color, texture and material. Van Seenus hallucinatory journey, punctuated by glimpses of mysterious experiments and sudden rocket blasts, is chillingly soundtracked by LA noise-merchants No Age. We advise you to strap in and don a helmet for the spectacular finale—a truly stratospheric experience that takes Rodartes unique vision beyond the final frontier.
Rodarte is featured in an exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt on view February 11, 2010 through March 14, 2010.

I know it's the end of the month, so featuring the Harper's Bazaar October issue comes a little late but it is still very timely. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) will open a retrospective of filmmaker Tim Burton on November 22, 2009 through April 26, 2010. In anticipation of this event (read: publicity darlings) Burton's movie characters were fashionized for a Harper's Bazaar shoot. If you have been following me for awhile, you know I love almost every single Tim Burton production so this gets two thumbs up and let's go ahead & throw in two toes for the holiday spirit. Speaking of which, today is HALLOWEEN. Hope this isn't coming as a surprise to you and now you have to go and scramble through your closet for a costume. Regardless, maybe you will find some inspiration here...

mag(rac): vanity fair
Photographer Michael Roberts recently shot Zoë Saldana for a Vanity Fair spread called Uptown Girl that definitely has a Harlem Renaissance vibe - which just also happens to be one of my favorite historical periods. Zoë wears Lavin, Zac Posen, Burberry, Donna Karan, Bottega Venta, and Stephen Jones Millinery throughout.

ciné(screen): the september issue
The September Issue, the documentary from director R.J. Cutler about the making of Vogue's 2008 September issue, opens today in New York. It is aptly named and follows the September issue because it heralds in fall for the fashion masses and it is the thickest, most fashion-y issue of the year. This rule applies for other September issues of fashion magazines, but Vogue just happens to be renowned for breaking the backs of mailmen worldwide.
If you're not in NYC, it will debut in selected cities on September 11 just in time for Fashion Week. If you are still unlucky, A&E has the television rights so hold out for it to make an appearance on the small screen. Fingers crossed. Until then check out the trailer.

I love Alber Elbaz, his bow ties and especially his creations. If you haven't read the Harpers Bazaar article about him - Alber's Next Move, you should - it gives a very interesting perspective of him.
