Tory’s Playlist: Best of Wes 

Culture, Music, Tory's Playlist, Cannes Film Festival, Randall Poster, Wes Anderson

Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom premieres today at the Cannes Film Festival, and Randall Poster — Wes’ music supervisor (and our contributing music editor) — will be there with him. “Doing the music for Wes’s films is always an adventure and these projects have taken me all over the world,” Randall says. “What distinguishes the soundtracks is how indelible the music is from the storytelling. No one uses music better than Wes.” We hope Wes brings home the Palme d’Or. Here, Randall’s favorite songs from Wes’s movies.

1. Alone Again Or — Love
2. Here Comes My Baby — Cat Stevens, Alan Tew & Orchestra
3. Let Her Dance — The Bobby Fuller Four
4. Ping Island/ Lightning Strike Rescue Op — Mark Mothersbaugh
5. She Smiled Sweetly — The Rolling Stones
6. These Days — Nico
7. Life On Mars? — David Bowie
8. Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) — Peter Sarstedt
9. Farewell to Earnest (from “The Householder”) — Jyotitindra Moitra
10. Strangers — The Kinks
11. Queen Bitch — Seu Jorge
12. Ooh La La — The Faces

Experts, Advice, Lydia Carron, Model, Mother's Day

On the set of our Pre-Fall Lookbook shoot (live on June 19), model Lydia Carron told us the best career  — and life — advice she ever received came from her mom Cathy. Once a banker, Kathy translated her love of knitting into a design and book business. “Do what you are passionate about and what will make you happy. Your life can take different paths so don’t get discouraged if you don’t find what you love right away.” Lydia, above right, is photographed with her mom and sister Emma (graduating from Harvard this year).
