MET Costume Institute Gala

2011-05-03T09:55:00.000-07:00

As usual, Sofia was yesterday night at the MET! She looked so stunning with this look and obviously in black! I couldn't Id the dress but I'm guessing Marc Jacobs or Louis Vuitton.

About the news of an upcoming movie with Kirsten Dunst, those reports are false :´( From The Playlist:

Well, that was fun while it lasted. As you no doubt heard over the Easter weekend, the blogosphere lit up when a Twitter account supposedly belonging to Francis Ford Coppola‘s production company American Zoetrope tweeted, “Happy to announce that Kirsten Dunst has agreed to be in Sofia Coppola‘s new film ‘Secret Door’. Script is still being finished. Stay tuned!” Sounded too good to be true—and indeed, that was the case.

A few hours later some pretty obvious clues started surfacing much to our disappointment and chagrin. First, the Twitter account posted what purported to be eight pages of the script— some of the worst writing we’ve ever seen (Sample: “It was he, I pondered most of”)— and then the twitter account name changed multiple times over the day from Zoetrope Films to Sofie Coppola to MsSofia Coppola to SCoppolaFans and back to MsSofiaCoppola. Earlier today, the account more or less signed off saying “All joking aside, please follow @AmZoetrope ( for more news. This account will be deleted. Thank you. Nothing more to say. Bye.” Of course, this is a fake account too. We reached out to reps for Kirsten Dunst just to get the final confirmation of what we assumed and we’re not surprised by what we heard.

“I know they’d love to work together again but this project doesn’t even exist. Wishful thinking from someone!” a spokesperson for Dunst said. Why anyone would write a fake Sofia Coppola script is beyond us, but then again, people are writing fake “Batman” scripts so anything is possible we suppose.

So chalk it up to a bit of an excited sugar high from chocolate rabbits and quasi-hoax on the internet. But nothing to see here, please move on.

marie-antoinette trivia (l)

2011-03-29T10:29:00.000-07:00

Since there are no new Sofia news, I will continue with the movie trivia:

- This movie was going to be produced before 'Lost in Translation' (2003), but while Sofia was writing the screenplay struggling with historical truth and an imposing gallery of characters, she started creating another story in order to distract herself from the difficult enterprise. This parallel project - a small Japanese story - became 'Lost in Translation', whose planetary success revamped the 'Marie-Antoinette' production.

- Ladurée was chosen by Sofia Coppola to make all of the brightly colored pastries and cakes for the film.

- Sofia had originally wanted Angelina Jolie for the role of Madame Du Barry, but turned it down to star in 'The Good Sheperd', then Catherine Zeta-Jones was considered. The role eventually went to Asia Argento.

- Jason Schwartzman, who plays King Louis XVI, is Sofia's cousin.

- Was ranked #3 on US Weekly's "Top Ten Films of 2006".

- The men playing guitars in the scene with a woman signing for Marie are members of the group Phoenix, the lead singer of which is dating Sofia and is father of her daughters Romy and Cosima.

It features Jane Birkin's and Serge Gainsbourg's song "Je t'aime moi non plus" and many beautiful images of Miss Portman getting dressed in a little black Dior dress, laying in bed with her lover, taking a bath with her sunglasses on (my favourite shot) and many more gorgeosity.

New York Fashion Week was last week and Sofia couldn't be a miss! She attended several shows but she was accompained by her Virgin Suicide Kirsten Dunst at the Rodarte runway show and it's simply a joy to see them together again.

Kirsten and Sofia are really good friends and there's no doubt that they will collaborate in a near future, can't wait to see that! You can see more pics of the actress and the director as well as of Sofia at other shows below:

somewhere

2011-02-13T04:30:00.000-08:00

I've been a little absent but I've got exciting news, I finally watched 'Somewhere'!!!

First of all, I can see how it's being compared to 'Lost in Translation' so much, it has very similar scenes and details but the tone in 'Somewhere' it's totally different. It follows more the line and style of 'Marie Antoinette', especially of MA's last scenes, so if you liked MA you will sure love this new film.

'Somewhere' is a journey of contemplation and leaves the images to speak for themselves, it hasn't got great dialogues or anything but it's reading between lines what makes it special and what will touch anyone who loves those types of movies. Stephen Dorff is amazing on it, he really carries the whole movie and Elle Fanning is simply delicious to look at, their scenes together are the best thing.

I don't want to say anything more in case I might spoil it to anyone but if you have seen it don't doubt to tell me what you thought of it.

a toast to sofia

2011-01-20T03:12:00.000-08:00

Sofia recieved the Special Achievement Award from The National Board of Review, such a honor! Bill Murray was the one who gave her the award and this is his amazing, touching speech:

Bill Murray: “I want the best for her because she’s a lady. She acts like a lady, the women in her movies are ladies, they have strength and power and they’re strong. Even the pole dancers in this latest movie have enough of themselves to call the lead actor a moron. As all you women should call your men this evening, I think, pole or not. So we’ll give her a boost to say, go on, you’ve made it this far, push her out into the deep water, push her out into bigger and deeper films, more and more films. She has a beautiful eye. She has great taste in the people she chooses to work with. She’s a kind and thoughtful director and editor and producer. She’s all the things that we hoped we could be when we were like this. She’s been lucky so far, and she’s been strong so far. Let’s keep her going. I appreciate your asking her to receive this award for filmmaking achievement. Ms. Ms. Ms. Sofia Coppola.”

Lost Somewhere

2011-01-08T05:25:00.000-08:00

Sofia for BUST Magazine, so pretty! A bit of the interview:

Your stories are told through the perspective of young, innocent girls. Is this a conscious decision?

Well, 'Somewhere' is told more from the point of view of the Johnny Marco character [played by Stephen Dorff], but yes, we do see an exotic world through the eyes of his daughter Cleo [Elle Fanning]. They have a link because I guess I like these kind of girls. Charlotte [Lost in Translation] and Cleo are thoughtful observers. I like girls that have to break out of their environment to define themselves in their own way.

Your films also deal tenderly with father/daughter relationships. How attuned to that are you?

I don't know, I was thinking about becoming a parent for the first time when I was writing 'Somewhere', so it was on my mind, but it's true, 'Lost in Translation' has that. I like that memorable and romantic relationships can exist in an innocent way.

Many compare 'Somewhere' to 'Lost in Translation' and now we know why. Can't wait to see it!!

Sofia talks 'Somewhere':

- She talks about wanting to make something more personal and intimate after 'Marie Antoinette'.

- She feels like a part-time famous person.

- Even though her films are connected, she hopes to grow in her work.

- She's glad that there's an audience that likes the type of films she does.

- She's not a yeller on set.

- She tries not to read reviews.

- She understands that people feel curious and keeps asking her about 'The Godfather 3' after 20 years.

- She hasn't really watched her movies and doesn't want to change anything of them because that's part of their personalities.

- She finds scary to put herself out there when she makes an original script.

- She likes when people notices small details of her movies and connects with them.

- She liked 'The Social Network' and it's excited to see 'Black Swan'.

This is a little gift for you all to wish you a Happy New Year, it's a photo of Sofia with little Romy on her arms while filming a scene for 'Somewhere'.

Many of you wouldn't recall but when he was filming, Francis Ford Coppola used to bring Sofia to his movie sets when she was a little girl, just like Sofia is doing now with Romy, isn't that an adorable family tradition? I bet Romy and Sofia's other daughter Cosima will love cinema as much as their family does.

2010-12-19T07:30:00.000-08:00

A gorgeous portrait of the 'Somewhere' trio. Want to know what was Sofia's original project before writing this movie? A vampire story!

"It's sort of embarrassing. After 'Marie Antoinette', I was thinking, Oh, I feel like it's time for a vampire movie. So I was writing this vampire story, and then that character [Hollywood star] came in. It was before 'Twilight' and all that stuff. Yeah, he came into the story, but it was all set in Europe. And then I was writing the character of the daughter, and I asked my friend's daughter what books she would be reading, and she was explaining to me the plot of 'Twilight', and I didn't know what it was. So that's why we have the daughter talking about that in the movie."

And then life imitated art, because Sofia was approached to direct the final 'Twilight' installment, 'Breaking Dawn'! Luckily she turned that project into 'Somewhere' but it's quite a funny story.

"When I appeared in 'Godfather III'. I had never wanted to be an actress, and I was 18, and being criticized for ruining my dad’s movie was a hard thing. But I also think it makes you stronger. I felt that I could handle things after that. John Huston told me when I was very young, “Not everyone is going to like you,” he said, “so don’t try to get everyone to.” And that was so liberating."

Thankully she didn't give up her dream of directing!

venice's golden lion for 'somewhere'!!!

2010-09-12T08:53:00.000-07:00

OMFG, 'Somewhere' has won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival, that is the Golden Lion for the best movie in the festival, how amazing is this!? The president of the jury, Quentin Tarantino said it had been an unanimous decision from all the jury:

"It enchanted us from the first and it grew and grew in our hearts, in our analysis, in our minds and affections. We kept coming back to it in discussions, even when talking about other films, because we found it kept illustrating what we were looking for in the winner of our Golden Lion."

Quentin was the one who gave the award to Sofia and it was a very touching moment as they dated some years ago and remain close friends, watch it here: [ Speech video ]

Sofia was really moved and now I REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE! Congrats to Sofia!!

The movie has premiered at the Venice Film Festival with its glorious trio (Sofia, Elle and Stephen) and it got very positive reviews! This is the one I liked best:

Sofia Coppola’s 'Somewhere' is a quiet heartbreaker. Trading 'Lost in Translation’s' Tokyo hotel for Beverly Hills’ Chateau Marmont, the ever-perceptive writer-director further hones her gifts for ruefully funny observation and understated melancholy with this low-key portrait of a burned-out screen actor. - Variety

That's such good news and the three of them looked so great! Little Ellen is nearly taller than Sofia and Stephen and she's only 12! More pics from Venice: celebrity-gossip

Lost in Translation - trivia (II)

2010-06-09T08:34:00.001-07:00

Sofia wrote the script with Kirsten Dunst in mind to play Charlotte but she was attached to 'Spiderman' so Sofia opted for Scarlett Johansson after seeing her in 'Manny & Lo', a movie Johansson filmed when she was 12.

At the New York Bar/Grill in the Park Hyatt hotel, one "Lost in Translation" theme drink called L.I.T. is available.

Scarlett was reluctant to wear sheer underwear at first, until Sofia modelled them for her.

The conversation between the two men in the Sauna (near the end of the film) goes something like this:
- I can hardly eat papayas anymore!
- At first I was really happy ... at first, I thought ... well I thought...
- At the beginning, yes.
- In Germany, I was looking forward to it, but in the meantime...
- Yeah. Now, something German...
- Hmmmm.
- After this, we'll go out and get something German to eat here!

Lost in Translation - trivia (I)

2010-05-30T11:04:00.001-07:00

- Filmed in 27 days.

- Sofia wrote the lead role specifically for Bill Murray, and later said that if Murray turned it down, she wouldn't have done the movie.

- The inspiration for having Bob Harris do a Suntory whisky commercial was partially inspired by the fact that Sofia Coppola's father, Francis Ford Coppola, made a real Suntory commercial with Akira Kurosawa in the 1970s.

- In many other countries, the title also got lost in translation. The title in Portuguese translates as "Love is a Strange Place". The title in Polish translates as "In Between Words". The film's title in South America, in China and in Israel all mean "Lost in Tokyo".

- Bill Murray's favourite film of his own

Full synopsis of 'Somewhere':

2010-03-16T08:50:00.001-07:00

Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) is a bad-boy A-List actor stumbling through a life of excess while living at Hollywood’s legendary Chateau Marmont Hotel. His days are a haze of drinks, girls, fast cars and fawning fans. Cocooned in this celebrity-induced artificial world, Johnny has lost all sense of his true self. Until, that is, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) unexpectedly shows up and unwittingly begins to anchor him. Johnny’s fragile connection to real life slowly revives in her presence. So when the time comes from Cleo to leave, his sense of loss is palpable, but the gift of hope she has also brought him leads to a beautiful, poetic denouement.

Cast: Michelle Monaghan, Stephen Dorff, Elle Fanning, Laura Ramsey and special appearance from Benicio Del Toro.

And a new onset photo, the plot sounds so good, I already want to watch it!!!

2010-02-25T09:21:00.000-08:00

As Sofia Coppola will be having her second baby around the time the Cannes Film Festival is held, the film will likely have its debut at the Venice Film Festival which kicks off on September 2, 2010.

Wow, that's a long wait because that means 'Somewhere' will arrive on the cinemas later this year or early on 2011... what a downer. In the meantime we have this pretty photo of Elle Fanning on set, it's going to take a lot until we get to see 'Somewhere'.

Last time I talked about Sofia's niece Gia Coppola and how she was a photographer, well look who's made her directorial debut? Gia! She has filmed a gorgeous shortfilm with Tracy Antonopoulos starring 'Marie Antoinette'´s dear couple Jason Schwartzman and Kirsten Dunst!

The film has been shot to promote Opening Ceremony's Spring 2010 collection and it has music of Jason's band Coconut Records, every image looks delicious and Jason and Kiki together again are heaven to my eyes, enjoy another work of a talented Coppola filmmaker in the making:

The cast has already seen a preview of the movie so it's about time that a trailer will get released... can't wait!

Little Romy turned 3-years-old last November 28th, happy birthday to the little French princess, can you believe she's already 3? Time goes so fast so quickly! Let's hope she has had a dream birthday party, I'm sure Sofia threw her a delicious pink party for her.

More info about 'Somewhere'

2009-11-25T08:14:00.000-08:00

Sofia with boyf and babydaddy Thomas Mars recently snapped in New York, I love this couple!

Sofia appeared on the reality show of Playboy's owner Hugh Hefner!!! But it was all about work, his playmate twins are making a cameo in the film and they were seen rehearsing on dancepoles and Sofia gave them the big thumbs up, one even will get to slap Stephen Dorff's character, it sounds fun! Unfortunately I don't have the video but at least it's a little something about 'Somewhere'.

2009-11-11T03:59:00.000-08:00

!!! First still of 'Somewhere' is out! And the plot too!!!

Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) is a bad-boy A-List actor stumbling through a life of excess while living at Hollywood’s legendary Chateau Marmont Hotel. His days are a haze of drinks, girls, fast cars and fawning fans. Cocooned in this celebrity-induced artificial world, Johnny has lost all sense of his true self. Until, that is, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) unexpectedly shows up and unwittingly begins to anchor him. Johnny’s fragile connection to real life slowly revives in her presence. So when the time comes fro Cleo to leave, his sense of loss is palpable, but the gift of hope she has also brought him leads to a beautiful, poetic denouement imbued with all of Coppola’s remarkable powers to conjure mood and atmosphere.
I can't wait for this! There are no release dates yet but be sure I will be posting them or anything new about this, excited about 'Somewhere'!!!

Thanks so much to miss scarlett for this award!!!

There's not much going on in Sofia's world, just that she's editing 'Somewhere' and taking care of little Romy in New York but she gave a new interview with some interesting quotes about cinema:

- What are your all-time favourite films? "All that Jazz, Rumble Fish, Breathless, The Last Picture Show and Lolita".

- Who has been the biggest influence on your career? "My father — for setting the example to follow your heart, and to be driven to do what you love."

Miss Coppola & Miss Scarlett

What a nice pic! I love, love Jason and he's bonding with the newest Coppola member, le petite Romy. And congrats to him because he's a newlywed! He won't appear in 'Somewhere' but I hope that he collaborates in another of her films because he's great and cool all around.

A decade in style

2009-09-28T08:04:00.001-07:00

Sofia Coppola in Chloé in the Fall Winter Issue of AnOther Magazine's celebration of this decade in fashion, of course, Miss Coppola had to be included! The pic is really sweet and very Sofia-esque, a girl in a bed, like those shoots she took of Kirsten and Scarlett, I loved it.

And another good news is that 'Somewhere' is completed, so stills and a trailer should be out soon, yay!

an american girl in paris

2009-08-21T08:12:00.001-07:00

Where do you live now?

"I live between Paris and New York. I came to Paris two years ago, just before my daughter was born.I still go back to New York, but I enjoy being here when I am. But sometimes I miss my American girlfriends, and how much easier it is to do something in your own country where you know the language and culture."

How has becoming a mother changed you and your way of life?

"It has made me slow down and take time. I would never before have sat at a park for an hour in the middle of having work."

on set

2009-08-13T11:14:00.001-07:00

Sofia is already shooting her film 'Somewhere' in Milan, this is an on set pic are there are more (tiny) photos of Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning here:

http://www.startraksphoto.com/site/gallery/Gallery.aspx?ev=35FCD45E28

Can't wait for pics with Benicio del Toro!

2009-08-02T08:43:00.000-07:00

First image of 'Somewhere's on set, this girl who was cast in the movie has uploaded a few on her Flick, so check them out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/filmlerev/sets/72157621656740164/

And this is the film's protagonist Stephen Dorff talking about the movie:

"I really think it’s probably the best part I’ve ever been given. I’ve known Sofia for a long time, since I was growing up, and we’ve been friends from kind of a distance. I was blown away when all that excitement happened over her for Lost in Translation. It’s exciting when it happens to one of your peers, someone you care about. Over the years I had worked with her dad [Francis Ford Coppola], workshopping some of the things he was directing. I’m really lucky to have the opportunity to work with Sofia. Somewhere takes place in the Chateau Marmont—I’m going to be moving in there soon. I’ll actually be living there as we shoot, which is kind of cool. My character is going through some kind of personal crisis."

I hope more news come out soon, everything is so quiet in the Sofia world now that I don't know what to post! Much love dears!

the bunnies come out and play in 'somewhere'

2009-07-21T07:01:00.000-07:00

More info about Sofia's new film 'Somewhere' which is currently shooting at the Chateau Marmont, Playboy guru Hugh Hefner posted this about his girlfriend twins of Twitter:

"Said goodnight early to the Twins because they have an early morning call for their Sophia Coppola film."

So the playmates will be featured in the movie, it looks like 'Somewhere' is going to explore Hollywood's frivolous side!

Phoenix darling

2009-07-07T08:31:00.000-07:00

Sofia and some hipster were spotted at the Phoenix concert in L.A. on 28th June, of course she was supported her man's band! And she was there with her new leading man Stephen Dorff, how do I know? because /mycellardoor is the luckiest guy ever and met them at that concert! Look at that great pic, if it happened to me, I dieeee.

2009-06-30T10:31:00.000-07:00

"Paris is a beautiful city, and there’s such a nice emphasis on lifestyle — people aren’t obsessed with just work, they make time to have a life, enjoy great meals, etc. And I love the parks, and seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night."

Sofia is the best one to show the most beautiful side of a city, like she already did with Tokyo and now Paris. And oh la, la this pic of Marina! Here's the Miss Dior Chérie ad:

Rooney shoots cameo in 'Somewhere'

2009-06-19T13:28:00.001-07:00

Great news! Filming has already started at the Chateau Marmont and guess who will star on the film too...? Benicio Del Toro! My God! This is getting better and better!

Remember Paul Bandino from 'The Virgin Suicides'? He's Robert Schwartzman, cousin of Sofia and lead singer of the band Rooney, I love that she always includes her family members in her projects!

Tetro

2009-06-09T07:12:00.000-07:00

Sofia Coppola arrives at the Premiere of Directors Francis Ford Coppola’s "Tetro" at Hammer Museum on June 3, 2009 in Westwood, Los Angeles, California.

Supporting her father, Sofia was all dressed in black for her dad's new film, reunited an they look so good together! I'm sorry if I'm not able to upload more but I'm busy and there are no news of 'Somewhere' or new pics of Sofia. But whenever there's something I'll post it here and Sofia and Francis look really nice here!

somewhere there's a family affair

2009-05-31T08:13:00.000-07:00

Sofia on the set of 'Lost in Translation'. More news from 'Somewhere'! This is what an insider of the film has said:

"'Somewhere' will have all the witty, moving and empathetic qualities that characterize all her work."

And the film is something of a family affair. Sofia is producing with brother Roman Coppola ("The Darjeeling Limited") and daddy Francis Ford Coppola, Fred Roos and Paul Rassam are exec producing. I can't wait!

casting news!

2009-05-21T09:00:00.001-07:00

Spotted: Sofia after having lunch at The Ivy - 5th May

Some (weird) casting news for 'Somewhere': “Jackass” & “Wildboyz” Chris Pontius will join the cast as the best friend of Stephen Dorff's protagonist.

One crazy dude, isn't he? Can't wait to know more casting news from the film!

A muse by any other name

2009-05-15T10:03:00.000-07:00

14 May 1971 - Sofia turned 38 Springs yesterday, happy birthday to my favourite person in this world, such a great inspiration to anyone that offers us such precious images that get into anyone's heart and soul, much love to Miss Coppola! ♥

2009-05-10T08:16:00.000-07:00

Which of your films did you most enjoy making?

"I like them all in different ways. I enjoyed shooting 'Lost in Translation' with a small crew in Tokyo and I’m proud of every film in a different way. They were all different stages in my life."

somewhere there was stephen dorff

2009-04-27T06:18:00.000-07:00

So, I did a little research and turns out Sofia and his lead in 'Somewhere' Stephen Dorff are old friends. Infact, he even supported Sofia's and Zoe Cassavettes' clothing line Milkfed, got to post some pics of that soon.

Some of you said that the new film is not going to focus in a girl as Sofia's projects usually do but remember 'Lost in Transaltion'? the protagonist was Bob Harris but there was Charlotte, a great Sofia girl, so I'm sure little darling Elle Fanning will have all the charm of the Sofia's femmes, and who knows if there will be even more. Anxious to know more details about 'Somewhere'!

Soundtrack news for Somewhere?

2009-04-24T08:00:00.000-07:00

Sofia has met with punk band The Veronicas:

"Sofia contacted us to come in for a meeting. But we can't reveal what it was for. She is so cool and is actually a fan of our music, which is a huge compliment to us."

Possibly for the new movie soundtrack? who knows but I can't hardly wait to get some more news about this new project, I (we)'ve waited so long for it, I'm excited! The photo was taken at the Chateau Marmont, Somewhere's main location, yeah I'm that excited! ^^

somewhere

2009-04-22T04:04:00.000-07:00

Sofia Coppola will shoot her next film Somewhere at the iconic Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning will star in the Focus Features dramedy which Coppola wrote.

The story centers on a bad-boy actor stumbling through a life of excess at the Chateau Marmont. With an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter, he is forced to reexamine his life.The movie will shoot in L.A. and Italy in June and July.

Sofia for Marc Jacobs posing with The Sofia Bag, yeah, the purse he designed with her name. Sweet pic, nice friend, cool bag!

2009-03-31T08:20:00.000-07:00

"My dad did this summer where he wanted us all to do one-act plays. It was called Creativity Camp, and we had to all make something. It was my dad's place, so the cousins were all there. We were kind of bitching about it. That's when I first worked with Jason [Schwartzman], I asked him to be in my play, and he stole the whole show. That's when we realized that Jason was an actor. When my friend Wes Anderson was casting 'Rushmore' I said, 'Oh you have to meet my cousin Jason'".

And that's how Jason started to be an actor.

Paris je t'aime

2009-03-23T07:38:00.001-07:00

"I have always loved the beauty of Paris, the general harmony of its streets and monuments... but what I really appreciate is the pace of life here - fairly slow and calm without being boring - which suits me perfectly."

Sofia with a Louis Vuitton wallet designed by her and Paris, ooh Paris.

Isn't this the best music video?

Spotted: Sofia Coppola takes Romy on a Soho stroll

Director Sofia Coppola, 37, was walking around Soho with 2-year-old daughter Romy before meeting up with a friend and her child

Look how grown up is the little French princess! She's getting more beautiful by the day, don't you think?

Miss Dior Chérie's making of is as gorgeous as the TV ad! There are tons of gorgeous images featured in the video filled with Sofia's style, and oh mon dieu, look out for the French hottie!

Wedding couple

2009-02-21T08:34:00.000-08:00

Sofia's best friend Zoe Cassavetes got married last year in Paris and here there are pics of Thomas, baby Romy and Sofia after the wedding. It's unclear whether Sofia and Thomas are actually married but she wears a ring on her wedding finger and they have a precious baby girl so it doesn't matter that much. Love Sofia's style there by the way, camera on hand.

Sofia's femmes

2009-02-18T08:33:00.000-08:00

"The characters in my films are adolescents but nevertheless, a little older with each film and in fact, I am thinking of continuing in this direction."

My heart just jumped when I read this new interview, more Sofia girls coming... the way she only knows how to portray them.

2009-02-12T08:31:00.000-08:00

"She loves fashion, music, art and film. And she combines them in a way that seems to be quite natural."

- Marc Jacobs.

Sofia's choice:

2009-02-07T08:29:00.000-08:00

My favourite fashion labels: "Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Acne jeans & Alaia."

My essential wardrobe item: "Silk pyjamas."

The last gig I went to: "My Bloody Valentine."

What I'm reading: "'My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead': Great Love Stories from Chekhow to Munro', edited by Jeffrey Eugenides; and the 'Olivia' children's books by Ian Falconer, to my daugther."

My favourite films: "All that Jazz, Rumble Fish, A Bowl of Souffle and The Last Picture Show."

My one item of luxury: "A big umbrella."

Sofia's influences

2009-01-31T08:27:00.000-08:00

Even someone so inspirational like her has her own influences, or details that can be applied to other artists, delicious taste!

An American girl in Paris:

2009-01-22T08:21:00.000-08:00

"Hollywood is a world entirely centred on cinema. People think and talk only about films, live only for the 7th Art. So i's quite nice to be a little removed from it all, to be able to see it from a distance and live in a place where the real world exists. Personally, I love going to Hollywood occasionally - just to visit. I think it's a harmful place to live full-time, somewhere where you can loose yourself very easily and very quickly."

Sofia for LV

2009-01-14T08:15:00.000-08:00

More pics of Sofia for Louis Vuitton collection.

Everything looks so tasteful, don't you think? I would rather have news of her writing a new script but anything coming from Sofia is good.

2009-01-05T08:09:00.000-08:00

"These scenes were very hard to film. The little girl was delightful and a really pleasure to film but she was completely terrified by Kirsten's costume. We literally had to film her for hours to get the few moments that appear in the film."

The petite abelle darling.

2008-12-19T08:08:00.000-08:00

Sofia's fave man Bill Murray in a photograph taken by her, he's got such a Don Juan look there, love this man!

Bill said that the favourite film he has ever done was 'Lost in Translation', isn't that the cutest?

2008-12-16T08:05:00.000-08:00

The other video was removed but here there's a HQ video of Miss Dior Chérie TV ad starring Marina Lynchuk:

Sofia is planning to start work on a movie next year, but she’s mum on the details:

“I’m just at the beginning of getting that started. I took a break after ‘Marie Antoinette’ and having a baby.”

Good news!

By Sofia: VI

2008-12-12T08:02:00.000-08:00

I'll continue doing the session of photographies taken by Sofia, I already uploaded portraits of Kiki, Bill, Scarlett and Spike.

Sofia did long time ago this fashion editorial of Prom Queens, and look what a surprise to find a teenage Leighton Meester from 'Gossip Girl'! I like this girl (and the TV show) a lot so I loved the fact that Sofia and her worked together in the past.

Of course this goes to my girl M. and her gorgeous Leighton flog:http://www.fotolog.com/leighton_gg

Sofia for Louis Vuitton debuts in Tokyo

2008-12-09T07:58:00.000-08:00

"To start with I wanted to make a bag for myself and then we talked about making a little capsule collection. My friends and I are always searching for the perfect day bag. It fits all your things but isn’t too big and isn’t too heavy. I wanted a bag that I could use every day that was coming from the heritage of Louis Vuitton’s great leather goods, not connected to the fashion side of the brand."

The fruit of that labor, the SC Bag (1st pic), comes in four versions: one in dark gray suede, two in navy blue or burgundy calf leather and one in LV’s signature monogram canvas. For evening, Coppola designed four compact clutches (2nd pic) with buckles resembling the locks on Vuitton’s classic trunks.

The filmmaker also channeled the Seventies when she designed her take on the peep-toe wedge sandal: "A heel you can really wear all night and it’s comfortable but still looks chic. I travel a lot and when you travel, you don’t want to bring 10 pairs of shoes."

So what do you think of Sofia as a designer? Maybe the collection is a little bit conservative but that defines her style, classy but with some modern touch.

Miss Dior Chérie

2008-12-04T07:56:00.000-08:00

Le TV ad for Dior's perfume directed by Sofia in its extended version, it's so very gorgeous, femme in pink and with some Marie Antoinette candy, watch the long version here:

2008-11-23T07:50:00.000-08:00

Miss Dior Chérie by Sofia:http://www.fashionologie.com/2509983

So here's a vid with the brief perfume TV ad and it's all about Sofia's style there: it's fresh, pink, young, blonde and feminine. The song is Brigitte Bardot's 'Moi je joue', whenever I find it in a better quality I will post it but it's surely a delicous thing to watch after so many time without anything new coming from Sofia.

{By the way, yesterday Sofia's girl Scarlett Johansson turned 24, happy bday to Miss Scarlett and much love to my fave Scarlett flog http://miss_scarlett/ }

Miss Chérie fragrance ad by Sofia.

2008-11-14T07:48:00.000-08:00

Delicious on set pic during the shooting of the TV ad with model Maryna Linchuk in Paris. The advert was premiered last Monday during 'Gossip Girl' break commercial so it's about time someone is going to upload it and we all can see it... let's hope soon!

Miss Dior Chérie fragrance.

2008-11-10T07:45:00.000-08:00

The TV ad, scheduled to bow worldwide early next year, stars Byelorussian model Maryna Linchuk: "It’s about a young woman in Paris", director Sofia Coppola said, adding that she’s writing a new film, but that “it’s too early to say any more.”

A Dior Chérie ad and a new script on the works, that's all it's known about Sofia's upcoming projects for now!
