Fashion, Rodeo Drive, modeling human form, Biohacking, Makeup, and Movies, everything I learned in LA, by Actress/Puppeteer MUA Yvette Edery

I want to go through every single year of the academy awards and ask,

"where was fashion this year?" It used to be animation. To have at least one reference

avaiable, not so much a database, as a publication or an app, maybe a

lecture online. Like a TED talk, regarding the inspiring ideas behind the

academy's contribution to fashion or fashion's contribution to the academy.

Many new productions, wherein a starlette has a relationship with a fashion

house or designer as their spokesperson or spokesmodel, or role model, will

create all new designs, even era specific, for the narrative feature.

High fashion is an art form in its own right with massive commercial success

into the billions annually, supporting actors and musicians as the models

of these lifetime achievments. Every single stitch matters. The outcome for

women is beauty. The behind the scenes is somewhat untouchable. The inner

houses of fashion. Many designers live, breathe, eat, and sleep this artform.

They cry on camera. It is not just their business. It is really their

hearts and souls and their search for the right material or color is epic.

They stand silently behind the on screen beauties the world is fascinated

with. They dress them. Their art is what defines the modern day man. You

are not just what you eat; you are also what you wear. The best way into

beauty is through beauty. Biohacking this makes for health as there are

hidden dangers in such/the obvious, however the foundations seem similar,

and when combined with the natural timelines they appear to really make or

break the individual, the production, and the art. So many of these

designers are basing their work on the western, or the eras, or the

collaborations or the future. There appears to be really artistic and

humanistic appeal to the new scientific accomplishments being made in plant

based stem cell, vegan cosmetics from Shakespearean actors, all the way to

truly inspired and artistic choices which are soul based or soul nature.

The fashion designers from Dolce and Gabbana cite Italian film as their

primary if not secondary inspiration for the billiin dollar fashion house

as does mogul Harvey Weinstein, creator of Miramax. Jeremy Scott made a

brave choice to invest in his own fashion documentary for Moschino last

year after many successful Met galas. Ralph Lauren has about three serious

publications on the foundation of his cinema, leading man inspired billion

dollar brand; with soecial focus on female business meets casual fashion.

The recent look books for Ralph Lauren and Rudolph Valentino harken to a

dark, romantic Shakespeare like world or reality. Their consistency in

color would be a tremendous lesson to all film makers and film students.

Georgio Armani's strict, annual black and blue, thin lines and form fitting

structure with gender fluid lines do not resemble the pastels of Ralph

Lauren with his polo for both man and women despite their mutual ideology

of clothing both genders. Many of them choose muses and best friends and

consistently and routinely give back to the fashion community and young

designers anf filmmakers as well as practicing costumers, such as Michael

Kors with Gigi Hadid, Lauren Hutton, and his work on Project Runway with

Alexander Pope, my previous costumer for Museum piece The Heart is a

Mirror, currently in the collections of Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel, and

The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, California. The lifelong attention

I have been given by my parents as well as their support and own interest

in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, biohacking, and beauty really makes me feel

prepared to research this for the Academy. I have been interested in French

fashion since I bought my prom gown, on final sale, from a closing French

boutique, in Paris at the age of 18. My mother bought me tiny perfume

bottles as a child and when I moved to LA I learned about the famous Marlyn

Monroe interview where she was asked what she slept in and answered, Chanel

number 5. Since then I have studied almost every perfume on the market and

choose to sleep in the signature Michael Kors. Her work with Max Factor and

the Max factor museum is really interesting. It seems the inner

transformation trumps the exterior, with good reason. The stories of

fashion from within my own family are the really heartfelt centers of a lot

of my work. My desire to experience the health and cleanliness of some of

these products really drives my every day life. Also the creation of new

products, new lines, really inspires me for the future. I am pretty deeply

concerned with the earth, her health, her emotional well being. I would

like to know for sure there is a happy outcome for her and I know the

fashion and biohacking community are holding the soace for her and her

children. I hope this makes mothers feel fabulous. We can all be Sarah

Jessica Parker. How do these actors develop such deep relationships with

these designers, these directors? Where is the bridge between the Italian

marionette and Italian fashion, besides the marionette print used for Dolce

and Gabbana? Where is the link between Italian theater and Italian film and

Italian fashion? Does it have an end? Apparently not. Italian business is

not far behind in keeping Italian fashion quality. Is this a foreign

subject? It seems to cost a lot of money to do this. So many of these

performers are custom designing and custom building their homes, beds,

closets. The custom fashion really seems to be taking over the market place

too. Children's clothes for celebrity children from major fashion houses,

side by side with new fashion houses from young designers working hard with

new press for runway success from the hands of talented men like Kanye West

seem fascinating. The ability to believe the lengths of art as well as

understand the merging of commerce and garment and its impact on the film

industry as well as women in film through the eyes of a young auteur would

be so great to publish for educational purposes so others can use it as a

reference in their careers. So many people look to film and the Academy

qualifies projects of scholarly achievement. The use of these materials in

other disciplines would be so exciting! A night too see Ballet with

costumes by Rodarte, K.M.and L.M., live, would be amazing. To see something

at the International festival de la marionette in Charleville, Mezieres,

with gorgeous, lavish costumes by Dior, would be totally worth the trip to

France. Theater of the poor is fascinating in nature, however, it would be

inspiring to see entire sets done with the home decor of Tory Burch. Her

work with Dodie Thayer, particularly. Giorgio Armani:2009 Inglourious

Basterds (costume designer: Brad Pitt's evening attire). 2008 The Dark

Knight (wardrobe: Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne tailored wardrobe handmade

by). Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino were not onto something. Yeah,

they totally were. What a tremendous accomplishment of those two filmmakers

to get the designers personal attention. Handmade by Giorgio Armani

himself! Like that didn't help the story. I love to see those items on

display at the Arclight Hollywood. I love to see costume exhibits at the

Met. I love to see Poiret at the Met. I wish someone was doing this for

every single movie. It would be amazing to see high art become a commercial

trend. A lot of these directors are commenting deeply on the life cycle, on

makeup, on art, on family, and all of them affect the public voice on

women's bodies. Breasts, hair, eyes, hair color, weight, height, race,

religion; what is or is not commercial, who can or cannot tell stories,

which is important and healthy. More people need to make film. It does need

to be encouraged. There are so many important people to tell stories about

and others to tell stories about them. I pride myself on being the latter.

I like to tell stories about important people. Some of the women of film,

like Carol Lombard, who inspired legions of actresses, really tried to use

glamour and fashion. Women like Lucille Ball created looks that young girls

try to emulate years later. Carol Burnett actually is so funny pursuing the

opposite. Barbara Streisand found a way to make her ethnic features so

attractive using makeup and fashion. Cher is an icon of this. I really love

Betty White. Thats a woman of longevity. Goldie Hawn makes waif make sense.

Diane Keaton uses this as a fabulous cover up. In person she is so

powerful. On screen she makes herself a comedian through her clothes. They

all create and recreate and position themselves for the field through the

items they wear. Like a secret science. Whoopi Goldberg is one of the few

women who stands outside this. What Tracy Ulman can do through her clothes

makes me rub my face at 4 AM. Roseanne really knows how to tell a story

through her clothes. Ellen Degeneres is really one of the most

undescribably awesome people in person. I think what she is doing with her

whole life is incredible. Joan Cusack starred in Toys (1992), with costumes

by two time French Oscar winner, Albert Wolsky, costumer to dancer and

choreographer Bob Fossee, who used puppetry in his musicals on film; also

Grease. She really inspired me to be different, remain independent, have

any shape. Her brother's work in Being John Malcovich, with marionettes by

Philip Huber has insired me to continually follow Phillip and his work.

Joan Cusack dresses up like a doll in it. I used to love Janeane Garofalo

but she's not doing this. Sandra Bernhard, however, is doing this, whether

you like it or not, so I like her. Margaret Cho. Cameron Diaz is living

this. I want to be one of them. My grandmother taught me a lot about

fashion. She gave me her jewelry. I used to do her makeup. Life makes more

sense when I think about her, full time. I think about her when I think

about every noble thing worth pursuing. I will work hard if given the

grant. I will do my best to use it to help people. I know each of the women

above have powerful stories. I know they know how to use it. The work of

Kym Douglas and Cindy Pearlman,

The Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets

ISBN-13: 978-0452287655, ISBN-10: 0452287650, is like a bible to me. I love

this book. They also have one, The Black Book of Hollywood Pregnancy

Secrets

ISBN-13: 978-0452290150, ISBN-10: 0452290155; I'm dying to get my hands on

it. There is a healthy, awesome way to do this. Can I use this to become a

luminary? There is so much detailed information. Where is all this

creativity from? Creative fertility. Is anybody else talking about this?

The art speaks for itself historically. The science behind it is seriously

interesting. I'm down to figure out the theory. I bet its simple. I bet

there is a simple answer. Commerce should new wave. I want to use all this

in my work. I want it to be at the heart of it. My objective is to clearly

and conscisely describe this. My methodology is to seek it out for the

health of others through my own life; to apply it daily, to record my

findings, to share it consistently. To put it in academic or professional

context by referring to other leading works on the topic I would like to

cite the above films and books, and also include works that are not

limiting. Works that allow for something amazing to take place in the

Universe, it needs that. Puppetry by Eileen Blumenthal, Zen in the Art of

Archery by Eugen Herrigel, Reality by Peter Kingsley, Love in the Time of

Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin, The

Bulletproof Cookbook by Dave Asprey, The Better Baby Book by Dr Lana

Asprey, Jan Saudek by Jan Saudek all cover some aspect of the above. A

World History by Blumenthal does not discuss costume. Zen in the Art of

Archery discusses the way to creativity but not its outcome. Reality by

Kingsley discusses the universe and the hidden however it does not discuss

sharing. Love in the Time of Cholera discusses lifetimes of cultural

relationships lasting decades but it does not discuss romance as commerce.

Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin shows female capacity but does not discuss

impact on fashion or entertainment, historically. The Bulletproof Cookbook

by Dave Asprey discusses eat for performance, health and wellness for

artists, and the kitchen for creators, but not direct impact on the arts as

internationally, culturally, or historically, while being a fabulous

reference for the Academy or its level of professional, for builders. The

Better Baby book discusses every suppliment needed to achieve health while

pursuing the above (think of what Poiret did for his wife, what the

designers do for their muses, what the directors do for their actirs, what

the actirs do for their directors) but does not discuss a healthy

fullfilled lifestyle while doing so. The work of Jan Saudek, Czech

cinematographer, subject of so many exhibitions, discusses female life

cycle, but does not discuss clothes. I will attempt to cover costume, the

outcome of creativity, sharing, romance as commerce, female capacity and

impact on fashion or entertainment, historically. I will attempt to also

cover eat for performance, health and wellness for artists, and the kitchen

for creators, with direct impact on the arts as internationally,

culturally, or historically, for builders. I would also like to be living

representation of a healthy fullfilled lifestyle for the lecture or exhibit

while potentially wearing something from those clothes, maybe a one time

Dior purchase. It appears underrepresented at this year's awards with the

exception of attire to the award show. The materials in the cannon of

scholarly works on the subject seem minimal. I think it will be fabulous to

watch and create and share this way. The project’s significance in its

field of study: I hope actors can use this as a reference. I hope builders

will be nourished by it. I hope directors will be given something to engage

them. I hope producers will find it a great reference material for their

future collaborations and the people in it inspiring while in their own

art. I hope young costumers find it really helpful with a lot of

information. I hope makeup artists can use it to further their libraries,

especially regarding product availability. I hope visual effects artists

can expand their minds through this. Art is health.

Reference, Vanity Fair. Film related subject: archetypes from Hero's

Journey. Red carpet: capes of Lupita Nyongo and Russo white silk crepe on

Angelina Jolie Pitt for the Unbroken premiere.

My publications are online articles and in Puppetry Journal and as a

blogger. I may have a collaborator for publishings. I would like to use

IMDB as a resource. Especially to find high fashion designers in film.

Which films? For which character. Interesting the cape on Bat Man in The

Dark Knight should be his hero symbol and Armani did the Bruce Wayne suit.

I wonder which makes him a bigger hero. Does that make people who wear

Armani wearers of the Batman hero wear? You can actually do that.

The project’s significance in its field: First ever collection of its kind.

It might take some time to cite all the parties involved. Especially if it

does not focus on one designer. I will probably choose five.

How your professional experience is relevant to the project:

1-Previously worked for almost a year at the theater where the Academy

holds the awards.

2-Taught at NYU within a 6 degree radius of other Academy award nominated

and winners of the award.

3-Went to hundreds of academy qualifier film festivals as an official

selection with my festival debut.

4-Am currently an Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting applicant

with two projects I wrote.

5-Studied the Oscars extensively from the age of 13 if not earlier and made

it the theme of my religious adulthood. (Bat Mitzvah)

6-Currently mentored by Bob Harvey, Panavision, new filmmakers award

recipient, in competitve preproduction on major indie motion picture.

7-Attended Academy screenings, lectures, museum exhibitions, and created a

professional women's tea salon for Academy members to experience the health

of high quality Japanese green tea with Anna Dragana Diaz at the Beverly

Hilton. Modeled invitation on their letterhead after Academy invitation.

8-Have studied cinematography meeting fashion while working for Peggy

Hurtig, assistant to Georgio Armani, at Emporio Armani. Fan of his short

with Scorscese.

9-Current library card holder and member of the Margaret Herrick library on

La Cienega where I go once a month to study film for my current

preproductions.

10-Have sown since childhood by hand to make clothes for dolls and have

travrled the world as a professional puppeteer and builder creating

original, one of a kind costumes for marionettes on film.

The project’s significance to your own professional development:

My arrival in LA was for animation as a producer however I really fell into

the makeup and the costume/fashion. My parents have visited, they're always

welcome. Meanwhile, I discovered how scientific if not formulaic the

progessional excersises of these makorly accomplished players were and

started to study the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Their pregancies

even became the subject of tremendous glamour. I would like to continue to

study, diseminate, and publisize these artistic and human performance

accomplishments through my early 40's.

a timetable for completing the project:

I would like to create the documentation of these on the internet. Perhaps

a facebook page, so ideally something is done daily. A post daily

throughout my entire research period, short clips or videos or filming

interviews with fashion heroes. Links online to current red carpet and

runway. Seasonal, or award season press. I can contribute any time,

ongoing. The only material I own are my own designs. Not those of the

creative professionals who can contribute stories, drawings, designs,

clips, information, or life stories. The site could draw major buisness to

those contributors however the primary focus is my life long, deeply felt

love of glamour in fashion and art as it affects the entertainment industry

and production as well as red carpet (with a focus on female longevity and

lifestyle of pregant women, especially in early 40s). Every day till the

money runs out, I'll do it.

Any grants, residencies or additional resources already available to you.

How you intend to use the Academy grant:

Grants available to me now- panavision new filmmaker. Residencies- none.

Resources- mentorship. My project is to enhance and upgrade the resources

available to the public after or through the Beverly Hills Public Library

adjancent to Rodeo Drive, which has about 11 books and two CDs on fashion,

costume, red carpet, and zero on Academy Awards fashion, 3 on vegan

lifestyle, maybe double or triple those numbers at most. To fulfill the

need for lifestyle, documentary, historical, people information on

designers, their histories, fashion for women. Dior as the model for

previously successful documentaries, with thr Scorsese short as a potential

clip to model, as well as their interactive high definition films for

exhibition. The grant is to cover making a few clips, to provide resources

to those who plan to contribute, to cover costs of travel to get behind the

scenes, to legitmately afford the time of my contributors and to ask for

their contributions, perhaps dinners to get information and stories, to

create art like logos for the projects, to pay for materials I can later

use. To go abroad for a short time to visit fashion houses during special

events and to use high quality equipment including getting the insurance

needed to do so, if possible.
