Compagni di scuola (1988)

compagnidiscuola2_bornunicornFederica (Nancy Brilli) is a glamourous woman who invites her high-school class mates to her beautiful mansion 15 years after their diploma. They will reminisce the best years of their lives but also bitterly reflect on their present. The opening sequence is set in the hostess’ bedroom, where’s she’s applying her make-up.

giorgiobeverlyhills_bornunicornThe first object that captures the attention is Giorgio Beverly Hills, the tuberose bomb created by Bob Aliano in 1981. This perfume, so popular in the 1980s, makes us understand Federica is one who doesn’t shy away from bold fashion and fragrance statements.

compagnidiscuola1_bornunicornThe guests soon arrive at Federica’s villa, but she’s still in her bedroom. She will soon go downstairs to meet her friends, but in this short scene we can take another look at her vanity.

chanelchance_bornunicornChanel Chance doesn’t come as a surprise, since Lily Rose Depp is currently one of the most popular testimonials of the French brand. This creation by Jacques Polge was launched in 2003.

To Catch a Thief (1955)

tocatchathief_bornunicorn (1)When John Robie (Cary Grant) visits the hotel suite where Frances and her mother Jessie live, some beauty products can be seen on different dressing tables.

In the picture above, for example, there are a Revlon nail polish (see the elongated cap) and two fragrances by Lucien Lelong – Gardenia and Balalaika.

On another dressing table two versions of Lucien Lelong Balalaika: the spiral bottle contained the eau de parfum, while the squared one contained the eau de cologne.

Behind the spiral bottle of Balalaika there’s another Lelong fragrance – Sirocco.

From a different angle we can see there’s another object on the same table: a coffret containing Revlon nail polishes.
