Last Sunday we headed over to the Brixton Ritzy to see the Sylvain Chomet film ‘The Illusionist’. Being big fans of his 2003 film ‘The Triplets of Belleville‘  (Belleville Rendez-Vous) we were keen to his latest creation. We weren’t disappointed, as we sat through the 90 minutes of nearly no narrative, we were happily captivated with the enchanting soundtrack and subtle quirky humor throughout. Beautifully illustrated, with a divine colour palette so typical of Chromet’s work. The characters have an incredible realness about them, not because of the way they are drawn but because their mannerisms are so cleverly descriptive, informing us constantly of how they are feeling or what they may be thinking. The mood of the film is somewhat sombre as the struggling illusionist searches to find a captive audience. Set in the 1950’s when conventional entertainment is being pushed aside by vibrant rock bands and television, you are taken on a moving journey of hope and disillusionment. Despite this, the attention to detail and eloquent depiction of the characters left us full of wonder, fondly reflecting on Chromet’s breathtaking ability to bring to life an utterly convincing and often stark reflection of society.

The A/W 10 catwalks are punctuated with yellow accents. The Prada A/W 10 collection featured yellow highlights in their prints and Marc Jacobs even celebrated this fabulous colour with a head to to outfit! The Hucklebones ‘paperchain rabbit’ print is a playful take on this gorgeous seasonal colour and adds a bright touch to a winter wardrobe. Available in 2 styles, the placket dress and double collar blouse from the Hucklebones online shop.
