Baz Luhrmann to Take on the Great Gatsby
Director Baz Luhrmann (Australia, Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet) recently sat down for an interview with the Hollywood Reporter and opened up on all sorts of stuff — including the fact that he has acquired the rights to F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and feels that now is the perfect time for this "parable for economic disaster." Here's more:
Luhrmann sees the pre-Depression story as a wake-up call as the economy comes crashing down and another Gilded Age, as he sees it, comes to an end.

Backstage Pass: Proenza Schouler's Wartime Glamour
While most of you love the blue eyeshadow trend that was revived by Proenza Schouler this summer, next spring is going to be all about a 40's wartime look with deep red lips and matte skin.
At New York Fashion Week the duo showed rock chick-meets-femme fatale clothes while the beauty look took it's cue from the World War II era with matte red pouts and polished hair. Diane Kendal created the runway look for MAC, and according to WWD she got that vamp lip look by mixing a red pigment with a neon pink sheen.
