Women Fashion 2009

T’s summer women’s fashion bonus in this week’s New York Times magazine travels to the Riviera, for the Cannes Film Festival. Jean-Baptiste Mondino photographs the actress Diane Kruger auditioning for the director Quentin Tarantino, who will show his latest film “Inglourious Basterds” (Kruger stars along with Brad Pitt in this gruesome war picture) at the 71st festival. Pedro Almodóvar, who first came to Cannes in 1982, reveals his favorite red carpet photo ops and festival hot spots. And who better to capture seven of the most captivating performers who made a splash at Cannes, including Vanessa Redgrave, Bjork, and Jim Jarmusch, than the photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin? Elsewhere, Phoebe Eaton profiles Charles Finch, the man who makes it all happen from film financing to party planning; François Simon digests the serious whining and dining at the over-the-top Hôtel du Cap; and we showcase a history of bathing beauties along the Croisette.
