Asia Argento attended the John Richmond show as part of Milan Womenswear Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010 this Sunday in Milan. Wearing a sheath dress designed by John Richmond himself, Asia said that she loves the stylist’s creations for their “musicality”.

PS: I’ve already received several submissions to the Fan Q&A for both Asia Argento and her mother, actress Daria Nicolodi, that I hope to be able to forward to Asia very soon. So don’t be shy and submit your questions while there’s still time. Don’t try to think too much. Some fans were concerned about asking questions that could sound too “shallow” or “silly” or that “were asked a hundred times before”. Don’t let it put you down. Just give your best shot!

Read about the Fan Q&A in English here and in Italian here.

Asia Argento and Daria Nicolodi have agreed to do a Fan Q&A for my fansite (after the wonderful experience that we had in 2005 — click here to read the previous Q&A). If you have any questions to submit, just let me know, and send me your name, e-mail address and country. Keep in mind that Asia and Daria will be picking out questions randomly to answer, so if your question is one that has been asked several times, the chances are slim that they will answer. I think that it goes without saying that you should avoid questions that are way too personal, intrusive, obsessive or creepy, and disrespectful messages will not be forwarded to them. You can email me here. I’ll be announcing the deadline shortly.

A special THANK YOU to these two wonderful ladies!

Last but not least, the deadline for the Asia Argento Birthday Project 2009 is on September 6. Don’t forget!

The Cannes Film Festival has finally started. Isabelle Huppert, the president of the jury at this year’s Cannes film festival and the members of the jury have just posed for the Jury Photo Call. Asia was looking absolutely divine! It seems like these months at home, surrounded by the ones she loves, running a radio show with music she loves, and starting to write a new directorial project that’s close to her heart, did wonders for her.
And I have to express my admiration for Isabelle Huppert, a talented actress, who will certainly know how to handle the pressure of choosing a winner and manage the fights and egos. She wisely said: “Perhaps one year we shouldn’t tell the jury who made the films they are watching. Cover their eyes and ears for 10 days.” To her, Cannes is about waiting for the great surprise, the anonymous masterpiece. “Something you least expect. That curiosity and openness, I don’t think Cannes could be any other way. It’s a place that celebrates the intrinsic value of film.”
She hopes Cannes will surprise her. But how do you judge a film? “I don’t think we’re there to judge, we’re there to love films,” she says of the jury. “And that’s the problem. What do we do if we love them all?” She admits the choice of a winning film is totally subjective, and is troubled by the fact that some great films never won prizes. “And how many times have you heard someone say, ‘I really liked that film at that moment in time but I just watched it again and it wasn’t up to it’?” She worries about choosing a winner at Cannes that’s not just good for now but for always. I wish her and the members of the jury much wisdom and good luck with this tough task.

Asia Argento, resplendent and radiant, distant from the dark tones that made her famous, appeared on Chiambretti Night (an Italian TV Show) on February 4th 2009. It’s the first appearance since the birth of her second child, Nicola Giovanni. (Not really, there was the Rome Film Festival before… Unless they meant TV appearance…) The actress talked about her marriage with Michele Civetta (”it’s impossible to find pictures of him out and about”), admits that she sings the Beatles to her children, is removing all her tattoos and is ready to return to the cinema.
