Films That Formed Fashion

Annie Hall

(1977)

Dianne Keaton brought her own personal style to this academy award winning film. It is said costume designer Ruth Morley was not thrilled with the idea and initially wanted to go in a different design direction for the character of Annie Hall. However, Woody Allen Woddy Allen said of Keaton “ She’s a genius. Let’s just leave her alone; let her wear what she wants.”

Under the guidance of Ruth Morley and fashion designer Ralph Lauren the eclectic style of Dianne Keaton and Annie Hall came together beautifully and went on to have an enormous impact on women's fashion. It certainly revived the popularity of women's pants at the time.

Handbag Help? ? ?

Q. The strap on my favorite handbag just broke this weekend.  I am so sad about it.    I understand that this may be a sign that it is time to break down and get a new bag all together.  But, this bag was a gift from my husband on our honeymoon, in Italy and I honestly do love, love, love, the bag.  Any suggestions on where I might be able to get it fixed if it can be fixed at all?


A.Have no fear!  Artbag on Madison ave in NYC is here.  Artbag can fix almost any handbag problem; and fix it well!  If you don't live in NYC you can print out a repair form on line and ship them your bag.  I have used them many times and have been very happy with the repair each time.
