Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel
Her vision shaped a generation of tastemakers.
Diana Vreeland wasn't just a tastemaker; she created the whole idea of tastemaking. She was the oracle of style, a woman who defined the way we looked at couture. Across a career that spanned half a century, she edited Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, discovered Lauren Bacall (and innumerable others) and was style consultant to Jackie Onassis.
This is her philosophy: on life, on fashion and on making it in an industry which so many desire to be part of and so few know how to crack.

Casa de mi Padre (House of My Father)
From the gringos who brought you ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY comes the slapstick action-packed comedy extravaganza CASA DE MI PADRE!
Will Ferrell is Armando Alvarez, a simple Mexican boy who is proud to work on his father's sprawling ranch. In spite of his wide-eyed enthusiasm for ranch life, the stupid yet optimistic Armando can only play second fiddle to his glamorous brother, Raul. But when Raul brings his sexy bride, Sonia, home to meet the family, the sexual tension between her and Armando is only the start of the trouble, as the brothers soon find themselves in a war with Mexico's most feared drug lord.
Also starring Diego Luna (MILK, Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN) and Gael Garcia Bernal (THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, BABEL), CASA DE MI PADRE is the funniest film you'll ever read.

Each woman shares her experiences, ideas on longevity and philosophy of life in the fashion industry. ABOUT FACE celebrates the raw intelligence and staying power of these timeless icons and doesn't shy away from asking tough questions which plague the fashion industry: sexual harassment, racism, plastic surgery and body image.
