Fashionable Film: The Sound of Music

 The Sound of Music turns fifty this year, and it seems to be everywhere - Lady Gaga sang a medley of their songs at the Academy Awards, Diane Sawyer took Julie Andrews back to Salzburg for an ABC special, and there are multiple magazine stories and a new edition of the movie.  We are loving this, as we have been inspired by the film, its cast, songs, locations, and fashion, since the 25th Anniversary VHS set.  The lovely Julie Andrews, the locations in the picturesque Austrian town, handsome Christopher Plummer, the wonderful Rodgers and Hammerstein music and lyrics, the ultra-chic Countess, the elegant style of the 'last Golden Years' before World War II, and pretty Liesl are endlessly enchanting and beautiful.  This movie has been influencing us for as long as we can remember.

Chanel Pre-Fall 2015 Show in Salzburg

As young girls, we watched The Sound of Music countless times and we were pretty obsessed with the stunning architecture, natural beauty, and style of Salzburg, where it was filmed, so we love that the city inspired Karl Lagerfeld's latest collection for Chanel.  The Pre-Fall 2015 pieces also have an accompanying short film, Reincarnation, featuring Pharrell and Cara Delevingne, as well as Geraldine Chaplin as Coco Chanel herself, and we want to live inside the film's hotel and wear all of the cast's fabulous jackets - but, like the characters in Reincarnation, we will have to dream for now. 

Below are the video and some of our favorite looks from the runway show yesterday.
