LETTY LYNTON

Director: Clarence Brown

"Adrian had a profound effect both on my professional and personal life. He put the ruffles in the right places and showed me how to dress..."

—Joan Crawford, ref. Lawrence J. Quirk: The Films of Joan Crawford, 1968

“What must be admired most in Adrian’s fashions is their construction; he is an architect, balancing proportions and studying every line. His approach is original and frequently unconventional, but that is what makes the viewing of an Adrian collection exciting.”

—Virginia Pope, on designer Adrian

Fashion in film is always an inspirational thing for me. The fashions (by Adrian) AND the execution in staging (by Vincente Minnelli) in Mervyn LeRoy's LOVELY TO LOOK AT (1952) (based on ROBERTA) are amongst some of the best fashion in cinema moments. And one of my faves to watch.

School Daze (1988) Written and Directed by Spike Lee starring Laurence Fishburne , Giancarlo Esposito, Tisha Campbell and Spike Lee.

Devastating quote:

"Unfortunately, I can’t in good faith participate in an organization that kicked off the awards ceremony with a land acknowledgement, and then proceeded to minimize the sole acceptance speech delivered by an Indigenous artist"

That the archbishop needs to say this is itself a grim measure of our degradation.

Please please read this from the archbishop of Chicago

www.archchicago.org/statement/-/...

“[W]e lose our humanity when we are thrilled by the destructive power of our military. We become addicted to the ‘spectacle’ of explosions. … Iran is a nation of people, not a video game others play to entertain us.”

Amen.

We really don't deserve otters.
