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.

Bookmarks for the Spring 2013 from New York Fashion Week

Orla Kiely Except at Orla is always happening a showcase of extremely pretty garments, once again she amused her loyal fans with another wonderful film from her factory of talent; director Maximilla Lukacs and Lula’s Leith Clark. Bardot-esque Hannah Holman as Darlin took Orla Kiely’s pretty designs to vague summer of 1960. (see film here)
Lauren Moffatt’s quirky dresses and swimsuits made in joyful stripes and polka dots, perfectly fitted in the environment; the tennis court. Inspiration behind; "a combination of the very classic look of lawn tennis in the '60s, and a colorful city pool." 
Rachel Antonoff had another great presentation. This time Rachel’s girls, dressed up in comfy frocks that only cool girls know how to wear, spent the day at picnic. Except clothes, she showed us once again why her collaboration with Bass shoes is just the right thing. 
Karen Walker, New Zealand queen of preppy, steps more than usual into the field of girly and it looked just right. So except Playpark in New Zealand, she created one in New York. (Playpark is the store that besides  Karen Walker clothing and eyewear, offers great range of clothes by Karen’s favorite designers) 
Tocca, under our beloved Emma Fletcher is surely going to right direction. Emma’s vision of hot air balloons and kaleidoscopes it’s not just marvelous, but very practical. Shoes were ideal, especially when they were in contrast with Emma's signature soft lace inserts. 

More moments to remember

Christian Siriano ballerina’s moment and pointed Mary Janes adorned with bow. Suno’s shiny dresses, everything from Honor and Steven Alan, Yeohlee’s metallic romance, Edie’s moment at Marc Jacobs (even Alexa Chung between her DJing gigs found the time to share the memory of Edie with designer) and Misha Nonoo’s Cuba-inspired unpretentious ensembles.
