The refreshing bright collection brings the rush of fashion seasons coming back and style key focus as we return to life. Spring is in the air as each piece walks the runway.
Shoji describes the collection, “as a true celebration in flight, inspired by the power of peace, grace, and hope. Because when doves fly, peace is within reach, and hope is infinite.”
Shoji presents a collection of wind-blown shapes and streamlined silhouettes brimming with colorful optimism. Pieces include an ombré-hued gown crafted from bias-cut strips of crinkle chiffon, a black flared midi dress with allover appliquéd painterly flowers, and a mystic blue asymmetric gown with style lines abstracted from a dove’s in-flight silhouette. The crinkle chiffon creates beautiful texture and movement.
Shoji, who stems from an artistic background, started his occasion wear brand in 1982 after noticing the few occasion dress options in the contemporary market. Celebrity fans include Michelle Obama, Octavia Spencer, Kate Hudson, Kaley Cuoco, and Ashley Graham.

House of Gucci is for love. The love of what is left to the audience to determine. Was the love of money the downfall or the loss of true love that destroyed Patrizia Reggiani?
The film has so ingredients from Oscar nominated actors, to the Gucci history of fashion and power, and love; lovers, family, and money .
Ridley Scott’s, director of House of Gucci, is a thrilling exploration of three decades in the tangled history of the multi-generational Gucci family, a tale of ambition, greed, betrayal and murder. The film shows Scott’s energy, multi-camera use, and spontaneity.
You are drawn in to Patrizia, played by Lady Gaga, power, determination, and strength. A woman who goes with her heart and falls deeply in love with Maurizio, played by Adam Driver. The moment the two meet at the party Maurizio introduces himself to Patrizia there is just a moment where you catch glimpse that Patrizia is very familiar with the name Gucci. As the story continues this moment leave one wondering did she really fall in love with him or the money.
The fashion is endless and timeless. The wealth and power of this family is felt represented in the film. The ability to create the sweet dream of Gucci while telling the story of murder. The story of loss and change.
Patrizia slowly losses. Gaga states at the London Premiere, “You watch the unraveling of a woman that only women can understand in a way when it comes to her.” The unraveling takes the power and strength Patrizia has away. The characteristics that Maurizio fell in love with.
As time goes by Patrizia is left abandoned and no longer matter, she begins unraveling. This appears to be that she has lost the love of her life, but then the moment when they meet I ask myself is it the money and power she losses in the end of her marriage that drives her to murder?
Maurizio changes from the man who knows the evils of luxury and wealth, the man who wanted to get away from the family business to be more himself to one craving and embracing the wealth. He falls in love twice in the film but still seems to be lost in himself.
Patrizia states in the film, “I am not a particularly ethical person but I am fair.” Did she love Maurizio or the Gucci money and power? I am still left wondering myself if she truly found the love of her life or the money of her dreams.

Halloween Kills is a generational affair. Jamie Lee Curtis attends the red carpet in Los Angeles as her mother’s Psycho character, Marion Crane. The Halloween films spans three generations (more than 40 years) of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers.
Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again (IMBD).
Halloween Kills is the continuing saga of Myers and Strode in the next thrilling chapter of the Halloween Series. It is recommended to watch Halloween 2018 before heading to the theatre, Sean James (Hairstylist to the Stars).
Halloween Kills brings Curtis’ character, Laurie Strode, three generations together for a final confrontation with Myers (masked figure who has haunted Strode for four decades) on Halloween night.
Curtis states regarding the film, “It’s going to be very exciting. People will be shocked. People are going to be agitated by this movie, in a way that I think they’re not expecting. That to me makes a great sequel. . . To all those people that love these movies, Happy Halloween.” (EPK.TV)
Creating Curtis into Strode takes a team. Sean James, hairstylist for Curtis, takes this powerful beautiful woman from her strong representation of being “true to herself” to Strode, traumatized by Myers for decades.
Halloween Kills U.S. film screening, at the TCL Chinese Theatre is a costume party. Curtis dresses like her mother, Janet Leigh, in her famous character, Marion Crane, from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film, Psycho. The styling did not miss a beat down to the wig created by James, using FHI products (see discount below). The struggle was real as wigs are in short supply because of the pandemic.
The search for Scarlett Johansson’s wig from the film Hitchcock was not located. The high and low search turns to a golden blonde colored wig. James states, “I could not find a golden wig anywhere. They kept showing me Marilyn Monroe wigs and platinum blonde wigs. Finally one was located that was as close as possible during this time.”
The wig was the wrong cut and texture. The next process was to cut and style the wig into the bubble (even Barbie has a wig that is the bubble style) style of her mother. James did his magic on the wig with FHI Heat Stylus High Altitude and FHI HEAT Platform Bounce Pro Curler to create the perfect look that Janet Leigh inspired in the 1960s.
The red carpet creation is completed with a bloody shower curtain.
James has been doing Curtis’ hair since 1995. Curtis brought her daughter into Fred Segal Salon. She asked for James to do her daughter’s hair. Soon Curtis asked James, “What would you do with my hair?” James states, “I suggested we chop it all off. Then we had different versions of her hair.”
Halloween H2O we brought hair color to the shorter style. This change was a concern for Curtis. She was doing Activia Yogurt at the same time. It is important to stay true and honest to her audience and fans. Curtis was honest about her hair color. She was on Oprah stating the way Hollywood distorts imperfect beauty. The More Magazine article shows all the secrets of styling, stylus, and hairstyles as well as what Hollywood is and the falsification of people’s image.
The color change was a turn from her natural hair color. Making coloring difficult Curtis does not sit still for more than 20 minutes. The concept of processing color every three weeks to cover the natural gray was absurd to her. She hates having her hair colored.
James says, “It is so exciting doing all of the press for the movie. Going to Venice Film Festival with Curtis for the world premiere, James Corden, Kelly Clarkson, and Rachel Ray Show. It is wonderful watching Curtis shine with this new movie. I cannot wait for everyone to see it. It is a fantastic horror film. It is really a wonderful reveal of the town of Haddonefield, Illinois. I can hardly wait for the third part, Halloween Kills.“
Excited to see this movie this weekend. You see your local theatre listings or go to Peacock TV for streaming options. Post your movie review here.
