» 4 In collaboration with Inès de la Fressange, the French fashion titan whose name is "synonymous with Parisian chic", Uniqlo has released a new line of women's clothing inspired by the 1960s French fashion, when "the ready-to-wear industry led to the collapse of the hierarchy that had been the height of long-established haute couture". The first of a three-part collection (with the second and third releasing in October and November, respectively) -- now in stores -- is dubbed La Femme 70s, which expresses the "free and open feel of the 1970s".

After a lengthy restoration process by a lab in Italy and a world premiere in Cannes, Santi-Vina returned home after six decades. The screening at Scala last Friday is sure to become a chapter in Thai cinema history: it was an emotional homecoming and the 800-seat theatre was full to the tilt, something that hadn't happened at the venue for a long time.

» It is high time for audiences who appreciate the rough-edged reality of documentary films.
