Lazy Sunday. After a hot beginning to the weekend, it rained all morning. Further proof that Sydney is inching towards the Melburnian “four seasons in a single day”. Consequently, apart from the grocery shopping, I haven’t been out today and have been entertaining myself with magazines. And a book gifted to me by my cousin as part of a Mad Men themed present, The Golden Age of Couture. Expectedly, the book had plenty of stunning women in stunning clothes. As also brief write ups on designers I was not aware of like Jacques Fath.
Only one picture really captured the behind the scenes toil to create these dresses and here it is below:
Though it may not necessarily be toil. One of the few movies I watch on and off is Brodeuses. As far as the story and the film goes, it is slight, lovely yet nothing out of the ordinary. But it is slow and contemplative and captures the rhythms and joys of women’s work, which for some reason makes for hypnotic viewing (at least to this viewer). In the movie, the work happens to be embroidery for the haute couture houses. Trailer which is kind of ordinary, here.
And now onto something even slower, contemplative and silent. The DVD lined up for tonight is Into Great Silence.
