Stacy London and Clinton Kelly have returned to television. For those who remember the early 2000s, their names are synonymous with a certain brand of prescriptive fashion advice delivered with sharp wit on What Not To Wear.

Their new series, however, arrives with a title that is less a suggestion and more a manifesto: Wear Whatever the F You Want. This is not a simple reunion; it is a recalibration. The program repositions the makeover format away from rigid rules and toward a philosophy of radical self-expression.

It presents itself as a feel-good exploration of identity, where two of television’s most famous stylists now act as guides, helping people discover not what they should be, but who they already are.

Kenzo’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, presented at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, documents the intercultural exchanges that have intervened between East and West, America and Japan, and most notably in the show, between George Lucas’ science fiction and Akira Kurosawa’s historic imagery. The two distinct ways of filmmaking combined to inspire a perfect synthesis in Kenzo’s show. The fashion label is owned by Lvmh.

Kenzo’s artistic director Nigo, the DJ and record producer, already known as the founder of the streetwear brand A Bathing Ape, once again depicted the introduction of non-Western influences into Eastern culture as a key element of his imagery when designing for the fashion house founded by Kenzo Takada. For this collection, he drew inspiration from films such as Lucas’ Star Wars franchise and Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress.

The Japanese designer praised the way Lucas and his costume designers drew inspiration from kimonos,...

A version of this story about the resurgence of celluloid presentation first appeared in the College Issue of TheWrap magazine.

Judging from the lines snaking down the street at 70mm mini festivals taking place everywhere in the past few years — from NYC’s Paris Theater to Chicago’s Music Box Theatre to L.A.’s American Cinematheque theaters — one thing is abundantly clear: The love for celluloid is everlasting. But aside from the proper showcasing of “Oppenheimer,” “Licorice Pizza” and—and if you’re lucky, movies such as “Nope” and “Last Night in Soho”, is the ongoing passion for celluloid reflected in current film school curriculum? In the age of digital everything, are future cineastes learning more about the tactile art of tape-handling and editing their work on Steenbecks?

Quite possibly more than you might think. Many institutions still regularly offer courses studying celluloid, particularly 35mm, including New York City...

Aaron Paul, the younger lead star in AMC's "Breaking Bad", has joined the indie feature "Right Angle" reports Variety.

Based on Adam Niskar's "Busted", the story follows a hard-drinking, promiscuous salesman who becomes a quadriplegic after a tragic accident and struggles to come to terms with his predicament.

Michael Burke ("The Mudge Boy") directs from a script he co-wrote with Mike Young. Gary Gilbert and Jordan Horowitz ("The Kids Are All Right") will produce. Shooting will take place in Michigan.

Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) has signed on to lead Michael Burke’s indie drama Right Angle. Per Variety, the story “centers on a hard-drinking, promiscuous salesman who becomes a quadriplegic after a tragic accident and struggles to come to terms with his predicament and with his future.” The film is being produced by Gary Gilbert and Jordan Horowitz (The Kids Are All Right).

Paul should be shoo-in to win this year’s Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for his work on Breaking Bad. Unfortunately, the Emmys make it a point to make sure that the person who deserves to win never does, but nothing changes the fact that he’s one of the best actors on TV right now. Paul’s equally-incredible Breaking Bad co-star Bryan Cranston recently signed on to co-star in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive. Breaking Bad doesn’t return until July 2011, but there...

An actor for the past twelve years, the work of Aaron Paul largely consists of one-and-done appearances on 3rd Rock From The Sun, Veronica Mars, CSI: Miami and ER. But after joining the cast of AMC's Breaking Bad, playing Bryan Cranston's meth-dealing sidekick, he has begun to get well deserved notice and may go home with his first Emmy on Sunday. Naturally, that kind of success is going to lead to more film roles. Paul has been cast in Right Angle, an indie drama based on the book Busted by Adam Niskar, according to Variety. Directed by Michael Burke, Paul will play an alcoholic, womanizing salesman who becomes a quadriplegic in an accident and has to adjust his life accordingly. While Paul does have a few major film roles under his belt, such as the remake of Last House on The Left and Mission: Impossible III, this could be...
