Moviestyle: Down with Love

If you have a thing for mod dresses and pill-box hats, you should check out the 2003 movie, Down with Love.

Down with Love is the story of small-town girl, Barbara Novak (played by the lovely Renee Zellweger). Novak finds fame, fortune and a big city life by writing a provocative book that encourages women to forget about love, and start eating chocolate. Everything seems peachy until slick newsman Catcher Block (played by hunky Ewan McGregor) decides to seduce her. As you might guess, much hilarity and many cute handbags ensue.

What makes Down With Love such a stylish film is the way that it resembles those old Rock Hudson and Doris Day films from late 1950s and early 1960s. The sets, costumes, cinematography and editing make you feel that this movie was actually made in 1962 -- not 2003. The director, Peyton Reed even went so far as to use a greenscreen technique, which recreated a very campy 1960s-era New York cityscape.

Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf unveiled a soft and mysterious fashion show set on the moon. Moonlight was the back drop as models posed on a conveyer belt in the dark, with the audience seeing only the exaggerated outline of the clothes. Once revealed, models walked slowly down a winding catwalk to slow and gentle music, the exact opposite of the typical hectic pace of most shows. The collection began with fluid fabrics turned into easily-wearable jumpsuits.

Nicole is a mentor on the show, alongside Jessica Simpson and John Varvatos.
