< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Elle, Armani, and Julia Stiles Make a Cine-mercial!![]() REEL GIRLS Deschanel, Stiles (inset) Raving, though it sounds like a documentary about the glow stick-and-pacifier revival, is actually a short film based on a feature story entitled, "The Dress (Shirt, Boots, Jacket, Jewels...) That Changed My Life," from the October '06 issue of, what else, Elle. (Trailer here.) Glamour tried this awhile back with its Elizabeth Arden-, Nokia-, and Bebe-sponsored "Reel Moments," but the Elle film is fully backed by none other than Emporio Armani and debuts at the Tribeca Film Festival in late April and on the Sundance Channel on May 8. Zooey Deschanel and Bill Irwin star in the tale of a young woman who discovers an Armani dress that helps her achieve her dreams. Irwin, decked in Armani suits, also aids her in her quest for happiness. Did we mention they are wearing Armani? It gets better. [Full Armani-and-Elle ad/film poster after the jump!] Not only have Elle and Armani managed to dupe indie film enthusiasts into believing that their super-advertisement somehow passes for fine cinema, the short was directed and written by Julia Stiles, the husky-voiced white girl from Save the Last Dance. To be fair, she did attend Columbia. ![]()
Effin' awesome. Because overly-expensive designer clothes ALWAYS make all your dreams come true. Posted by: Lemur on March 22, 2007 10:14 AM I believe that Nina Garcia's name is more likely to be stamped on the brains of "Project Runway" viewers than on "America's Next Top Model" fans. There are two reasons for this. First, it is not clear that viewers of "America's Next Top Model" have brains. Second, as it happens, "Project Runway" is actually the show on which Garcia appears.
