A festival is never complete without an impressive party to kick it off, and last night’s Luminato art festival opening party was nothing but. Toronto’s elite, bloggers and artsy attendees joined co-chairs Rupert Duchesne, Joseph Mimran and Kimberley Newport-Mimran to mark the launch of the 10-day art festival with creative director Jörn Weisbrodt and hubby Rufus Wainwright at the helm of the festivities. Besides drawing Canadian notables like Toronto mayoral candidate Olivia Chow and celebrated stage director Atom Egoyan, Isabella Rossellini was there to promote her upcoming on-stage debut, Green Porno. In tune with the night’s theme, Berlin Underground, the opening party was held in the outskirts of downtown Toronto (Toronto Port Lands to be exact) at the Hearn Generating Station where the abandoned industrial space was transformed into a one-of-a-kind venue for a 450-deep dinner and party. Complete with leather-clad dancers/artists lounging in corners, 1930s German propaganda on projected screens and neon lights bouncing off the exposed industrial interior, the party could not have taken place in a more suitable location. Well-dressed guests (ranging from black-tie attire to jumpsuits and much-coveted crop tops) had the chance to not only get their makeup retouched by on-site YSL makeup artists in super glam vanity stations. From a hopping DJ and buzzy dance floor to a flipbook station and 3D printers, it’s safe to say that last night was nothing short of extraordinary.

Days after Isabella Rossellini turned 40, she was asked to leave one of the loves of her life. Not a husband or boyfriend—she ended relationships with Martin Scorsese and David Lynch long before celebrating
the big 40. It wasn’t acting, either, as Rossellini racked up stacks of film credits (from noirs such as Blue Velvet to comedies such as Death Becomes Her) before writing, producing and starring in her popular series of short films on animal sexuality, Green Porno. Rossellini, the daughter of Ingrid Bergman and filmmaker Roberto Rossellini, was pushed to abandon her place in the modelling world. And, as she conveyed in her 1997 autobiography, Some of Me, when she was 43 an executive at Lancôme decided that after serving 14 years as the face of the brand, it was time for a younger woman to take over. Rossellini has maintained that she was urged to graciously retire to save herself from embarrassment. Looking back at her track record (she’s appeared on 28 Vogue covers), she decided she would be foolish to step down from such a lucrative career. And at the age of 61, she continues to make modelling a part of her life, recently starring in a Bulgari campaign.

As for acting, Rossellini kept Hollywood at bay to devote her time to her Green Porno project. Having written and starred in more than 45 films on the subject of mating in the wild kingdom (she dresses up as a handful of creatures to demonstrate their sexual encounters), Rossellini, who is currently doing a master’s degree in conservation and ethology, has seen her venture blow up online as well as offline, as millions of viewers have clicked on her educational spots. The project became so popular that Rossellini adapted the films into a one-woman stage show which will have its Canadian debut in Toronto on June 6 as part of the Luminato Festival.

It’s here! After about a month of speculation since the Toronto International Film Festival first announced its roster of films, a list of attendees has been released through the festival’s Pinterest page and it’s A-list enough to get your stalking senses tingling. We ain’t even going to try to hide the fact that we become extraordinary (but elegant) creeps during TIFF, so without further ado, here’s our game plan for approaching the biggest and best stars at TIFF 2013.
