music videos in 1960s style..oh oui!

If you haven’t heard already about French singer and songwriter Petite Meller (which is offence per se) now it’s the right time for a proper introduction. The girl with a sweet voice and pink cheeks recently came out with a new video for her newest single Backpack that was filmed around the village Garabit, the summer residence of Matisse and Picasso. The video for the single is kind of homage to Petite’s childhood days spent on French Riviera where she as a child was giggling at all old madams and gentlemen in tacky bathing suits. Therefore the talented team responsible for the video together with Petite tried to capture her juvenile memories through the lens of the 1960s masters Truffaut and Godard. 

Petite Meller is one of those French girls that with her beauty a la Brigitte Bardot and charm of Mia Farrow could easily fit in the days of Nouvelle Vague cinema. Actually Petite reminds a lot of Mia in a curly hair days. Besides we could look at her for ages, we could easily listen to her easy jazzy melodies all day long with carefree breeze somewhere by the pool. 

Jauntiness, prettiness, pools and châteaux are really misslikey’s thing so that’s the reason why Backpack deserves total respect here. Talented London-based stylist Nao Koyabu did an amazing job with the styling of Petite Meller and models. With the girly dresses, striped little things that remind of lingerie, Victorian nightgowns and lovely boater hats, swimsuits designed specially for the video by Vin + Omi and swim caps in 1930s style, she recreated aura of French Riviera in the 1960s. And yes we are totally jealous how that pinkish coat and Simone Rocha plastic heel brogues look on Petite!

Two fashion candies; Short films Candy and Best Friends

If you are reader of misslikey blogspot and tumblr, you are probably familiar with the fact that I consider Wes Anderson a genius. 
Writer, director and producer who is innocently inspired with the Glass family always creates moving images that are memorable, pretty and educational. His heroines possess innocence of Ye-Ye girls and melancholic vibe of 1970s girl (read Nico) and always amuse us with their wit, intelligence and grace. Except for the movies, Wes is also known for his great commercial work. And the fact is, we don’t usually like TV ads, but when Wes directs them they are candies in motion. You do remember Stella Artois commercial from 2010 with Valentine Fillol Cordier that Wes co-directed with Roman Coppola? Well, these days the creative duo did another collaboration, this time for Prada’s new fragrance Candy. 
♡♡♡♡

♡Star of the series of three short films for Prada Candy L'eau is a French actress Léa Seydoux (Midnight in Paris, Sister). 
Lea is quirky and charming Parisian dressed up in pretty pale mod dresses and red Mary Janes that finds herself in the love triangle in the city of love. 
We already love Candy. (The fragrance is available exclusively at Selfridges from March 28, and nationwide from April 29.) 
See all three films at Another Mag.

♡Another style film candy this month came from Lena Dunham. If Wes Anderson is innocently inspired by Franny and Zooey, Lena was inspired by The Royal Tenenbaums this time. The short film about friendship named Best Friends is for Rachel Antonoff Fall 2013 collection.
