Brioni for
Angels and Demons
Brioni dresses Tom Hanks and Stellan Skarsgård. Tom Hanks was chosen to play the Harvard symbology professor Robert Langdon: The Da Vinci Code came out in 2006 and, three years later, its sequel, Angels and Demons, is ready. Tom Hanks (two-time Academy Award Winner) and Stellan Skarsgård, the other face in the film directed by Ron Howard, will have at their disposal a special wardrobe: Brioni’s made-to-measure line.
Robert Langdon dons both formalwear and mix-and-match jackets and trousers in the most turbulent scenes, where the expert of esoteric mystery is intent on resolving a case of homicide and saving the Vatican from a terrorist attack. The jackets and suits are custom made by Brioni tailors who are used to dressing actors and actresses both on set and in their private lives. Angels and Demons was filmed in Los Angeles and Rome and the typically Italian atmosphere once again underlines Brioni’s role as world ambassador of male elegance.
The world première of the sequel to the Da Vinci Code will take place London on the 14th May.

I'm an Actress
Dutch photographer Bianca Pilet will show her first film 'I'm an Actress' next week on Diane Pernet's 'A Shaded View On Fashion Film' (25-26-27 September, Paris)
Nanda, 'I'm an Actress'
'Im an Actress' shows Nanda, who Pilet describes as someone with an 'brutal honesty'. Nanda and Bianca Pilet worked together on several occasions before, but always in photographic projects. Pilet's first film 'I'm an actress' can be seen on www.biancapilet.com .
The photos of Bianca Pilet always possess an elegantly elusive quality; her photography induces desire. Whether in portraiture, fashion or advertising, her images depict an agreeably eccentric world that we’d gladly inhabit. They are film stills, in which people become actors, interiors become sets. With the timing of a perfect cliffhanger, and with that distinctive natural light that makes hers a soft and acceptable world.
Although often commissioned, her photos tell their own story. Always, unmistakably, Bianca Pilet’s photographic universe.

A Shaded View On Fashion Film
by Diane Pernet
Diane Pernet presents ‘A Shaded View On Fashion’ Film during Arnhem Fashion Biennial. The film is directed by fashion icon Diane Pernet who restores film entries from all over the world. She will come to introduce the film programme herself.
A Shaded View On Fashion Film (ASVOFF) shows appreciation for fashion, style and beauty in moving images in the days that the industry was still dominated by photography. ASVOFF was created from ’You Wear It Well‘, a programme of short films and videos produced by designers, photographers, stylists and artists from the world of fashion. ASVOFF is a 90-minute film in which Diane Pernet shows these films as a collection. The central theme that connects this varied programme is the use of fashion, style and beauty as key subjects.
12th June, 2009 at 6 pm. Free entrance.

Ray Liotta in Zoo Magazine No. 20
TOUGH GUY
Ray Liotta
by Alexander Laurence/photography Bryan Adams
Ray Liotta is a well-known actor and a man of mystery. Tall, with light brown hair and intense green eyes, he has the air of a tough guy. Certainly, on screen, Liotta specializes in playing tough, albeit psychopathic characters - whether a corrupt Justice Department official who is eaten alive in Hannibal or a gangster in Goodfellas.
I met Liotta at Hollywood’s famous Chateau Marmont hotel on a late summer day in July. He seemed only slightly less fearsome in person. He appeared uncomfortable about doing an interview and being photographed. He also asked a lot of questions, including: “What kind of magazine is this?”
Liotta does not court publicity so very little is known about him. When I delve into his personal life, I uncover more speculation and myth than actual truth. Yes, Liotta is a soccer fan, but no, he is not a fan of Tottenham Hotspurs, as it is often reported.

Bob's World
Bob Mizer spent 48 years making photos and films for his Athletic Model Guild, and 41 years publishing Physique Pictorial, America's first, and most explicitly gay physique magazine. His diaries, kept from the age of eight, make it clear that he was openly homosexual from his late teens, but until the age of 42 he lived and worked in his mother's L.A. rooming house, where his strict ethical code prevented him from fully expressing his fantasies. For 24 years he worked in black and white and never showed a completely naked man, but following his mother's death in 1964 Mizer built a kingdom dedicated to the pleasures of male flesh, and photographed fully nude men in explicit poses and psychedelically saturated colors.
Bill Murphy by Bob Mizer
Sometimes called the Hugh Hefner of gay publishing for his pioneering magazine, Mizer influenced figures in art and society from David Hockney–who first came to America partly to meet Bob Mizer–to California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who modeled for Mizer in 1975.
Tony Palo by Bob Mizer
Bob's World: The Life and Boys of AMG's Bob Mizer is the first book to celebrate the full-color, deliriously uninhibited carnival of late-period Mizer. Over 250 photos are accompanied by an oral history by contributing artists David Hockney, Jack Pierson and John Sonsini, photographers David Hurles and Hal Roth, models Ben Sorensen and Andrew Sears, and Wayne Stanley, inheritor of the Mizer estate. The book includes a one-hour DVD of Mizer films spanning 1958–1980, specially edited for this edition.
