OMG she’s just screaming for a makeover! Unfortunately Clueless has the lockdown on the greatest makeover scene in movie history. Whatever. These montages have all the quick-changing, life-altering, debt-incurring movie magic we crave. From Pretty Woman to Clone High, it’s time for a….. MAKEOVER!

Prada‘s new fashion film is practically dripping in Oscars…and probably some weird sexual kinks. Directed by Roman Polanski (guilty on both fronts), Sir Ben Kingsley plays psychiatrist to Helena Bonham Carter before shirking his shrink duties to drape himself in her Prada purple puffer jacket. It seems that Prada has given the doctor a fuzzy case of ADD in A Therapy.

Did you pass by the newest issue of Interview Magazine wondering, who interviewed Johnny Depp? And why are they pushing Edward Scissorhands rather Tim Burton‘s new haunt, Dark Shadows? Well it ain’t Johnny, it’s Jack White. And whether he meant to or not, in the issue’s photo shoot, he’s channeling nearly every character Johnny Depp has ever played. From a veiled Mad Hatter, to Sweeny Todd in a massive Marc Jacobs hat, White has stepped into Depp’s deep dark shadow. See the side-by-side lookalikes.

If you’d like to be, under the sea, in an Octopus’s Garden in your home, you’re not alone. In fact we’ve been shouting about the super limited theatrical re-release of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine in the FashionIndie office, and it’s reminding us not only of Ringo Starr‘s affinity for singing about objects found beneath the waves, but of how lovely it would be if we all live in an oceanic room! See how to turn your living space into the perfect place to serve Ringo tea, under the sea.

Kanye West has teamed up with Webby Award winning SHOWstudio and acclaimed fashion filmmaker Ruth Hogben for his new music video, “Lost in the World.” Described as breaking “the mould of popular rap aesthetics,” the clip stars West — his face partially or entirely obscured for the duration — and six dancers matching the song’s intensity step for step and writhe for writhe. Featuring Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, “Lost in the World” is Yeezy’s fifth single from the Grammy-winning My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Hogben’s film for Gareth Pugh‘s spring 2012 collection was recently nominated in the fashion category at the Design of the Year Awards. All those accolades add up to a brilliant piece that not only “breaks the mould” of the traditional rap video but dances on its shattered remains. Check it out after the jump.

I feel I have to preface this post with a disclaimer: I’ve actually never seen Cheech & Chong’s Up in Smoke, perhaps revoking all rights and credits I have in calling myself a stoner. But with that said, and said with my head hung low in shame, here are “The Top 10 Greatest Stoner Flicks (Not Including Cheech & Chong)” to take your 420 even higher.

One of our favorite editorial actresses, Keira Knightley makes a triumphant return in the April issue of Interview, shot by the always dynamic duo of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Stylist Karl Templer adorns the British beauty in Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Céline, Givenchy, Salvatore Ferragamo, Diane von Furstenberg, Chanel and Valentino as she smokes and smolders in the sultry spread. There’s a bit of good old-fashioned 80s androgyny meets Helmut Newton’s stark sexiness happening that fits Keira’s lithe bone structure perfectly. Full spread after the jump, kids.

If it seems everyone and their mother has been caught up in The Hunger Games fever…they have been. It’s literally all that anyone in the FashionIndie office talks about, to my personal chagrin since I’m one of the three people on the planet who hasn’t read the books or seen the film. Said film, by the bye, grossed an astronomical $155 million stateside in its opening weekend, the third best opening weekend of all time. No big deal. And now that it is an official cultural touchstone, Mattel is hopping on its murderous bandwagon, offering a Barbie of protagonist/noted bad bitch Katniss Everdeen, portrayed in the film by future multiple Oscar winner, Jennifer Lawrence.

It’s been a few days since we’ve wanted to scream in Karlie Kloss‘ face — out of love — but we knew it wouldn’t be long before there was something worth yelling about. In SHOWstudio‘s latest film series, “Fashion Fetish,” women in fashion — including Daphne Guinness, Lily Donaldson and Amanda Harlech — create performances and multi-media pieces “that comment on the contentious and provocative fusion of fashion with fetish.” Here, filmmaker Ruth Hogben directs Karlie, Ms. Kloss ’cause we’re nasty, playing with herself in Fuck Me. If the title doesn’t say enough, kinda NSFW.
