Hotel Chevalier and The Darjeeling Limited

Wes Anderson movies always have that certain style and of course that famous Futura font. I downloaded the free short film Hotel Chevalier via iTunes and feel in love with the movie's quirky set decor and style. The art direction by Kris Moran is gorgeous. I love the infusion of the color yellow through the film. I also love Natalie Portman's boots. Watch it now! This short movie is actually a prequel to the movie, The Darjeeling Limited that's out now in theaters.

Did you know that Marc Jacobs teamed up with Wes Anderson to make the look for The Darjeeling Limited?

You can read all about it in the LA Times story.

From the LA Times article:

The designer, as artistic director of Louis Vuitton, teamed with Anderson to come up with a new look -- flannel suits that don't cinch at the shoulders or reveal naked ankles -- and a set of luggage for his latest film, "The Darjeeling Limited." The pairing makes perfect sense. Jacobs' fashion shows have an ethereal, cinematic quality, and he even name-checked Bernardo Bertolucci as inspiration for a recent collection. Anderson's fastidious attention to quirky style details in his films is legendary.

I cannot wait to see this movie! I was slightly disappointed with The New Yorker's lukewarm review. I'm going to snuff the review and enjoy yet another Wes Anderson creation :)!
Cheers, Felicia

Natalie-Saw Darjeeling and Hotel Chevalier. I adore Wes Anderson's aesthetic as well and I count Royal Tenenbaums in my all time top 5 favorite movies. I think so much of it for me is the way he uses color in his photography. Makes a huge difference. It is not suprising to me at all the M.J. would be in on it.

P.S. Got the book, thanks!
