 Vanity Fair announced today that it has partnered with The Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) to present the first ever "Fashion in Film," a three-day program of film screenings, a featured panel discussion, and select receptions, that will explore the unexpected yet vital intersection of cinema and style. The weekend's events will take place from September 9 through September 11 in the theater at MAD, as well as the Vanity Fair custom-designed "Fashion in Film" lounge on the museum's 7th floor. Simon Doonan, Barneys New York creative ambassador-at-large and one of the curators of "Fashion in Film," will introduce the first public screening, Qui Etês-Vous, Polly Maggoo? (1966) on Friday September 9, preceded by an exclusive opening night reception at MAD's restaurant, Robert. Vanity Fair worked with Doonan, The Film Society, and MAD to create an eclectic program of unexpected cinematic moments that will appeal to cinephiles and style-mavens. Among the films to be screened are X, Y, and Zee; Hearts and Craft; Eyes of Laura Mars; Diva; Rick, Michelle and Scarlett; and Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (a full schedule is available at http://www.vfagenda.com/1108/sc_fashioninfilm.asp). On Saturday September 10, L'Oréal Paris will showcase Umbrellas of Cherbourg, the cinematic classic from French director Jacques Demy, followed by a reception in the "Fashion in Film" lounge. Doonan will moderate a featured VIP panel hosted by BMW, "Spotlight on Fashion Innovation: Creative Inspiration from Cinema" on Sunday, September 11, also followed by a reception in the lounge. Throughout the weekend, museum guests are invited to enjoy Vanity Fair's "Fashion in Film" lounge located on the 7th floor of MAD, with custom installations by BMW and L'Oréal Paris, the presenting sponsors of Vanity Fair's "Fashion in Film" weekend program.
