Documentary film-maker Albert Maysles (GREY GARDENS, GIMME SHELTER) turns his lens to Iris Apfel, style icon and muse, famous for her sharp wit as much as her flamboyant dress sense.

To celebrate the Australian release, we are giving away 10 passes. For your chance to win tickets, please email competition@lofficiel.com.au or fill out the form on our contact us page.

 

Glam Goth: Lindsey Wixson and Anna Ewers for Chanel

Chanel goes goth lite this autumn—shot in moody black and white, the campaign has models Lindsey Wixson and Anna Ewers sporting mohawks and rather incinerating stares. Lagerfeld has stepped a little left of the softly romantic looks that have underpinned the Chanel woman. Sharp, a little fierce and dark, the tailoring still retains romance, just in an edgier incarnation. Trousers are elegantly flared, coats either err on the side of steam punk or have a heavy drape, while a black ribbon-like skirt brings shadowy whimsy. Take a walk on the dark side.

Oscar de la Renta finds heaven in a wild flower

Art Deco style took the 1920s into the future though it drew on the romanticised past. Egyptian and Aztec motifs were present in the geometric and decorative style where angled lines, pyramids and lotus flowers featured prominently. Oscar de la Renta’s Art Deco inspired ‘Russian Gold and Resin Wild Flower Necklace’ harks back to the glamorous era of Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutenkhamun’s gold (1922) while avoiding the pharaonic curses.
