लास्ट होलीडे विथ कुईं लातिफः

queen latifah in last holiday
I finally got around to screening the film "Last Holiday," with Queen Latifah.
She really walks her talk in this movie. The costumes are colorful and show off QL's curves. The character transforms from a matronly sales clerk to a jet setting entrepreneur. The subtle nuances that can make or break the style of a larger woman, were deftly handled by costumer designer Daniel Orlandi.
Every year I look forward to the exhibitions that feature costumes from television and film at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, FIDM, gallery in Los Angeles.
It's exciting to hear the curator share industry anecdotes and insider information about the costume designer, the production and the clothing itself. This year I was particularly entranced by the costumes from Coco Before Chanel.
