i love a good spoof video! julia stiles – we haven’t heard from her in awhile! – posted this hysterical vid poking fun at celebrity fashion designers who push eco-friendly ensembles. the host of the “show” interviews julia as she displays her creative pieces. “have you ever designed anything before?” the host starts off. normally the celebs go into some wacky story about how even though they may be an actress, their heart is in fashion. instead, a straight-faced julia answers “no.”
out come the models. among julia’s designs is a top called “ten shirts i love about you” made from bits of 10 old tops sewn together. and my favorite? the ‘shants,’ a shirt that becomes pants when legs are slipped into the armhole. julia even created a website for the spoof – juliastilesstyles.com - where you can read a bit more about the what & the why behind the project.
the mock clothes mysteriously seem to all be sold out, which is where the website encourages you to instead donate to the lunchbox fund. julia filmed the bit with the comedy troupe the vacationeers. after her stint in “designing,” the actress is headed to broadway to co-star in oleanna. the play premieres october 11th.
