Zac Posen screened “Auntie Mame” for the laugh of Grand Classics: Films with Style” in Miami.

“I thought [Auntie Mame] was the perfect film for Miami. It’s full of eccentricity and drama and amazing colors and I’ve always been intensely inspired by the film Auntie Mame, mostly by the character which Rosalind Russell plays and her love of life and sensory experiences.”

“Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan is a book that stayed with me.. I probably read it once a year and I’ve seen the movie probably once a year.. The story is of a young girl who lives with her wealthy father and they spend summers in the south of France. They have a very peculiar relationship, which I don’t know, I don’t find it that peculiar anymore because I have seen it so many times and I understand it, and there are layers to this movie which you will maybe not understand the first time you see it, but hopefully you will also go back and see it again. If not only for the incredible outfits that Givenchy did! He did the entire wardrobe. The movie was done in 1958. Otto Preminger and with David Niven, Deborah Kerr, Jean Seberg, who is also one of my favorite actresses, and the other ones as well.” – Helena Christensen, Grand Classics: Films with Style, Miami
