** The 70's styling of this editorial looks like a still shot from the new French film
Potiche. The comedy set in the 70's stars Catherine Deneuve as a frustrated Potiche (Trophy Wife) living in the luxurious suburbs of Western France. Gerard Depardieu also stars in this runaway hit that is one of the biggest grossing films this year in France. The film is well written, witty, and worth seeing just for the fashion - styled so perfectly - it is an eye opener to just how 70's the fashion industry is at the moment. What a great conversation starter!
