The FiFi Report 085

UK Vogue June:
With our Cate Blanchett on the cover looking stunning: she ‘wows in the couture”. Read the interview inside about winning the Oscar (her son calls it ‘ the Gold Guy”) and her next movie ‘Babel’ with Brad Pitt and Gael Garcia Bernal. Poor thing. In the fashion section see Australian Voguette Robin Holt’s advice for dressing in Russia and Gabrielle Hackworthy for London. There’s an interview with Nick Hornby and his latest book ‘A long way down’ then read about kooky Jane Fonda “ she is so candid as to be scary” and her new book ‘My life so far’. Good reading, boring fashion.
W Magazine May:
Natalie Portman is looking very beautiful on the cover, taken before she has her head shaved for her new movie ‘V for violence’ by Joel Silver ( set in an alternative future in London after WW2, the UK is taken over by Germany).She is living in Jerusalem and is one brainy chick studying the anthropology of violence. She is worried about terrorists, will go to night clubs but won’t travel on a bus (who does darling?). She says being “at the Oscars is not so glamorous, it’s in a shopping Mall and you go up escalators” What?! Read about Ashton Kutcher and how he was shocked to hear he has been awarded worst actor of the year at the Razzies. (We weren’t). He doesn’t like going to Hollywood events because “ I always feel like the butler who got the ticket” (you are). Read all about the elite Corviglias club in St Moritz, Tory Burch at the opening of the Faena Hotel and universe in Buenos Aires ( FiFi Report #79) and in the fashion pages? Black is back as fashion undergoes a seismic shift !
Travel & Leisure May:
It’s the Europe issue and a great read: Read about Chanel and do her a tour around Paris (see zip zip), find out about a book tour through Wales and Scotland, there’s a fab story and photos of Nice and groovy places to go ( skip the pebbly beaches). Read about architectural driving tours through central Europe including France ( from Paris to Monaco) . Oh and I’m off to Majorca, it looks so cool and so do the hotels
