Warren Beatty was all over the place in early 1968 due to the success of "Bonnie and Clyde", the film which he co-starred with Faye Dunaway in 1967. Appearing on the cover of Haper's Bazaar on its February 1968 issue, with an unknown model, Beatty is seen wearing what appears to be a "circular checkered" suit paired with a black turtleneck.

Vacanze Romana 2011

"Roman Holiday" is undoubtedly a cinema classic that manages to portray Rome and its essence with perfection. Co-starred by Hollywood legends Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in 1953, "Roman Holiday" tells the story of a Princess's quest for freedom and love within the streets of Rome and its impressive landmarks.

One of the film's most iconic scenes takes place when Hepburn and Peck ride a Vespa by the Colosseum. This scene wasn't only used to promote the film, but throughtout the years many have attempted to recreate it while visiting Rome.

In the Summer of 2011 coinciding with the Venice Film Festival, L'oreal launched a campaign to promote some of its lipsticks, that recreated iconic moments from films such as: "Roman Holiday", "La Dolce Vita", "Venezia la Luna e Tu", "Ieri Oggi Domani", &"Rocco e I Suoi Fratelli".

Below the photo that pays tribute to "Roman Holiday" or "Vacanze Romana" shot by talented photographer and hand-printed fabric artist, Zazie Gnecchi Ruscone.


A photo that not only recreates with perfection this cinema moment, but also gives a lesson of style with the ensembles worn by the "new" Princess Ann and Joe Bradley, whose sunglasses are L.G.R. Sunglasses' newest model: October.

"Rome, by all means, Rome...."

Keith Haring at the Palladium

Keith Haring was one of the most talented and creative artists of the late 70s and 80s in New York City. His graffiti and pop art masterpieces graced gallery walls, the streets of New York, clothes, and even popular night spots such as the Palladium.

Years after the closing and sale of the legendary Studio 54, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager decided to try it again by opening the Palladium in 1985. Like its predecessor, the Palladium's decor was visually striking.



Keith Haring was comissioned to create a mural that would serve as backdrop for the dancefloor. Below some photos that show Haring posing on the Palladium with his creation, and the mural in full.
