High fashion films have a track record of being consistently gorgeous. I’m not talking about, say, “The Devil Wears Prada” (though I will never not argue that it’s one of the best movies ever), but rather the type of high-brow videos that result from collaborations between fashion houses and illustrious directors. Take, for instance, Martin Scorsese’s short for men’s fragrance Bleu de Chanel, David Lynch’s campaign for Dior’s Lady Dior, or the Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L’Homme ad created by “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky — as you can see, efforts of this ilk have seriously beautiful outcomes.

Helena Bonham Carter Wins At Life On The Oscar Red Carpet

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 27, 2011 //

We’ll be posting all about the Oscars tomorrow, but I couldn’t resist giving you a little tease. Helena Bonham Carter swore that she would be a “catastrophe” on the red carpet, but I think her Union Jack garter belt — on her calve?! — is pure insane genius. I love this woman so hard.

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 8, 2011 //

“I promise you, I’ll wear the same colors shoes … I have no idea [what I’m wearing] … As my boyfriend knows, it’s right up to the last minute… Can go wrong at any time. It’s probably going to be a catastrophe.”

– Helena Bonham Carter on what she’ll wear to the Academy Awards at the end of the month. We’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating — we love this crazy bitch. [Access Hollywood] Keep reading »

Helena Bonham Carter And Tim Burton Sleep In Separate Beds

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comDecember 28, 2010 //

“They say Tim and I are a mad couple with subterranean tunnels between our adjoining houses, and that our children live down the road with another couple. We just have two houses knocked together because mine was too small. We see as much of each other as any couple, but our relationship is enhanced by knowing we have our personal space to retreat to. It’s not enforced intimacy. It’s chosen, which is quite flattering. … Tim does snore, and that’s an element. We’ve tried lots of remedies that don’t work. He has a deviated septum and doesn’t want an operation.”

—Helena Bonham Carter confirms the rumors that she and Tim Burton sleep in separate beds and live in different households, and explains that this makes their relationship stronger. Maybe if they stopped working together on every single movie, living together wouldn’t seem like such a big thing? [E! Online] Keep reading »

Quotable: Helena Bonham Carter Is Happy To Be Deformed By Tim Burton

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 4, 2010 //

“I personally find it especially flattering that he tends to deform me in every movie. But my mother and everyone ask me, ‘What is it with you and him?’ But that’s the point of acting isn’t it? It’s all dress-up.”

— Helena Bonham Carter on working with partner Tim Burton, who directed her most recently as the Red Queen in “Alice in Wonderland” [LA Times] Keep reading »

Quick Pic: Helena Bonham Carter Reprises Her Corpse Bride Role

Annika HarrisJuly 6, 2009 //

We wish Helena Bonham Carter was on the set of a film when she put on this dress, but this is actually “normal,” everyday wear for her. We’re not sure which offends us more, the dress or the shoes and socks. [London, 7/6/09] Keep reading »

Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland” Is Going To be Amazing

Daniela GuernicaJune 22, 2009 //

Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors. I know “The Nightmare Before Christmas” by heart and left the theater with goosebumps after seeing his twisted remake of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Not to mention that I admire his constantly casting Johnny Depp! Which is why I could not contain my excitement upon seeing the new promotional photos for Burton’s upcoming rendition of “Alice in Wonderland.” It’s just like Burton to take a children’s fairytale and warp it, and by the looks of these pictures, we’re in for one dark fall down the rabbit hole. In this creepily surrealist version, Alice lands back in Wonderland 10 years after her first visit, but she has absolutely no recollection of being there the first time around. Oh, and did I mention that this movie will be shown in 3-D and that you can explore the CGI scenery thanks to this cool USA Today gadget?

Sadly, the movie won’t be out until March 5 of 2010. So to tide you over, here are our favorite of the publicity images. Keep reading »
