To celebrate the grand opening ofOpening Ceremony’s new Ace Shop, Gia Coppola (grandaughter to Francis, niece of Sophia, cousin to Jason Schwartzman) & Tracy Antonopoulos were asked to put
together a short film.
The film stars Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman, with music by Jason’s band, Coconut Records.
Kirsten and Jason, who are decked out in recent arrivals from O.C.’s S/S2010 collection, share a sweet and playful chemistry, very artfully captured by Gia and Tracy on this nostalgia-inducing, vintage-feeling montage. “We were influenced by 60s New Wave films and my uncle’s house,” said Gia. Jason lends both acting and musical talents for the short film, which features the song “Is Sound OK?” from the Davy, the most recent release from his musical project Coconut Records. Expect more from these two talented directors in the next year: Gia recently graduated from Bard College, while Tracy is finishing up at NYU’s Gallatin School. (via)
Andtie: a scarf and tie
Pretty cute. Too bad you can only order them by email. It’s a little weird their website has no other information.
**UPDATE (1/2/2009) Thanks to Martin Aamand, I have more info on Andtie.
The cost for one of these scarves is €89 (~$130) including shipping worldwide (They are located in Denmark). All of them are limited editions and to see what is all available go here. Andtie is working on setting up an online payment option, but right now are only taking bank transfers (I’m guessing paypal might be accepted).

(basically a poster on a shirt).
——————————————————————————————————————————— RumbaTime Watch – only $20
Great color selection, low price and simple design. I love it.
Started by three college buddies Drew Deters, Jay Hartington, and Joe Anto, the watch fits the lifestyle of those who prefer the active outdoors as well as seasoned Manhattanites. For vendors wishing to carry them, they will also donate a number of watches to that retailer’s charity of choice. As Jay says, “With our watch, checking the time becomes a reminder to lighten up, have some fun, and focus on what’s truly important.” And did we mention they’re only $20 each? We’ll take two, please! — via refinery 29

I came across Plastique’s Etsy store and went crazy for the Kern Rings. But there is alot more design geekery at this store includings, necklaces spelling tweet (for twitter fans), RGB, CMYK, Helvetica, and most bizarre that only Photoshop geeks will get, the Photoshop crop icon.
——————————————————————————————————————————— “Picture Me” a fashion documentary by Sara Ziff.
Ziff uncovers “Michael Moore style” the deep dirty secrets of the fashion world. It recently got audience award for Best Picture at the Milan International Film Festival. The Guardian deems it “one of the best films about the world of modeling and an honest portrayal of an industry built on artifice.” Picture Me Trailer
In it, the stories are hardly pretty. Ziff told the Guardian about a 16-year-old model who complained to her agency when a 45-year-old photographer made a pass at her: “Her agency said she should have slept with him.” She captures another model talking about how weight is approached: “In castings, people have slapped my thigh, and I’m not in any sense overweight, I never have been. I’ve been the same weight for a long time, but they’ll slap your butt and be like ‘Oooh, fat’ in Italian or in French. ‘It’s too big here.’” – Read more at Fashionologie
