PRADA: CATHERINE MARTIN AND MIUCCIA PRADA DRESS THE GREAT GATSBY
I’m trying to remember when I first saw the trailer for The Great Gatsby and I can’t. They’re as ingrained in my consciousness as the little teasers for the Olympics were last year. We’ve been as eager to fully enjoy the costuming of Baz’s latest spectacular, as we were to watch Lewis Smith spinning on his biceps in a little spandex number. Actually- even more eager. Our desires to gawp at scantily clad men, and fine fashions are usually evenly matched- but with the skills of Catherine Martin met by Miuccia Prada for this dazzling imagining of 1920’s Long Island High Society, Summer 2012’s just officially been trumped. 3 days and counting- can’t bloody wait.
Guess who’s back? UK electronic duo Basement Jaxx! Back 2 The Wild is the bouncy new single. It’s no Where’s Your Head At, but it’s still a load of fun and it features Korean singers Miss Emma Lee and Baby Chay. No big surprise there. The K-pop revolution I predicted some time back is still going strong. Psy just unveiled his Gangnam Style followup, Gentleman. Basement Jaxx have no new album in the works, from the look of it. But they may have more singles coming soon!
