The guys at American Apparel may consider Woody Allen their spiritual leader, but apparently they didn't read up on his teachings regarding celebrity endorsements, or copyright infringement. Woody's legal team filed a lawsuit yesterday against the clothing company, seeking damages in excess of $10 million for using an unlicensed image of the filmmaker in some of their billboard advertisements. The billboards went up last May in New York and LA, where they were on display for about a week before they got pulled. In the gospel according to Woody: you use an image from one of his films without permission, you get served.

When it comes to classic films I haven't seen any of them. People will ask me if I have seen a certain movie and 9 times out of 10 my answer is no. The response I usually get is "What! That's a classic!" Frankly, I am sick of hearing it so I am on a mission to catch up on classic films. Last night I plopped down on the couch to watch 'Annie Hall.'

I have to admit I have zero interest when it comes to Woody Allen films but I knew the fashions in the movie were supposed to be top notch. It took a bit of time to get to the good clothes in the movie but when Annie had her first encounter with Alvy after their tennis match I was in love.



Getting the Annie Hall look is simple. Just take some basic menswear inspired pieces and wear them with a whole lot of confidence. Confidence is key with this look considering that overall it is baggy and on the surface has no sex appeal -- add confidence and you are suddenly the sexiest girl on the block.
