Coming high on our list of movies we hope won't suck comes the biopic about fashion legend Coco Chanel. Starring the gorgeous Audrey Tautou, who you may remember from her portrayal of Sophie Neveu from the film version of the Da Vinci Code. The film revolves around the life of Coco before the establishment of her Fashion Empire. We hear from some good sources that we will also see Demi Moore & Shirley Maclaine in this film as well. PS: We're totally digging the androgynous look in the poster.

Sex and the City Movie: trying too hard?Many girls (and guys) are avidly and anxiously awaiting the release of the big screen version of Sex and the City (see the full forum thread of images from the movie here). Well renowned as being an inspiration for it's costume and styling, the TV series saw many trends shoot to mainstream consumption, and had women world-wide pining for the clothes, lifestyles, and fashion-senses of the show's four main characters. But will the Sex and the City movie live up to this reputation?
Free movie tickets: The Jane Austen Book Club
If you didn't catch the memo in our fortnightly fashion newsletter, we're giving away 30 double passes for Australian members to see The Jane Austen Book Club. The movie stars Emily Blunt, Maria Bello, Hugh Dancy, Maggie Grace, Kathy Baker and Amy Brenneman, and will definitely be worth checking out. Visit the forum thread for details on how to enter. Six book club members, six Austen books, six interwoven story lines over six months in the busy modern setting of Sacramento, where city and suburban sprawl meet natural beauty. While the contemporary stories never slavishly parallel the Austen plots, the six characters find echoes, predictions, warnings and wisdom about their own trajectories within Austen's beloved narratives... The film opens in Australia on January 31, 2008. Visit www.JaneAustenBookClub.com.au to see the trailer. Fashion in film - 1930s glamour in AtonementI went to to see Atonement last night. Now, I don't usually write about films here but the costume design in Atonement was so beautiful, I just had to bring it to your attention. Keira Knightley's Cecilia looked amazing - in everything from a 30s style swimsuit and cap to a striking emerald green dress accessories by diamond hair-pin and diamond cuff.
I can't imagine anyone but Keira Knightley playing Cecilia - the delicate bone structure, the big and classically beautiful features, work so well. She exudes the qualities of the archetypal 1930s woman as we think of her - soft in looks but strong in character. New Years Fashion Resolutions for 2008
We're dreaming of a fashionable ChristmasIf you're keeping your eye on the front page of Fashionising.com, or a calendar, you'll be well aware that Christmas is less than 4 sleeps away. With 2007 seeing us celebrate our first Christmas, we've been bringing you a fashionable Christmas gift guide each day since late November. We've also brought you Fashionising.com's first pictorial; Escape.
The amount of work that has gone into Escape, it's promotion of Fashionising, and the fact that we have a newsletter going out this weekend, has meant that we're a little beat today. So instead of us recommending gifts, or impart similar knowledge, you can consider Escape our gift to you our loyal member and fashioniser. But if you are after some Christmas gift ideas for the weekend, why not look back on our recommendations since November?

Resolutions can be about all sorts of things, whether it's to do with your health, your social life, your work or your education. But we here are all about fashion, so if you're looking to add a few fashion-related resolutions to your New Year's list we thought we'd give you some ideas.
