Speaking of Ferretti, the designer and Chopard's Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele — who codesigned the gem-laden dress that Bar Refaeli wore to the festival opening — are already plotting future collaborations. Aboard Ferretti's yacht for a private preview of the $700,000 gown, made from lilac silk chiffon and adorned with 2,904 carats worth of gems, the pair revealed plans to next design a timepiece together. "Like the dress, it would be about combining two different approaches, one a little more technical, one a little more fashion," said Ferretti, adding that the watch, likely to be a one-off, would be unveiled at the Venice Film Festival in 2009. Also along for the boat ride, Refaeli, who has just wrapped up shooting campaigns for True Religion, Accessorize and Chanel Make Up, disclosed she's looking forward to the release of her first movie, "Session," a psychological thriller in which she plays the lead. Marking her second time in Cannes, the Israeli star said she'd overpacked for the occasion, despite having access to the world's most glamorous gowns. "I've packed mainly whites and florals, as I've spent the last few months in New York, which was dark and cold, and florals are very big this season," she said.

The Ferretti/Chopard gown, meanwhile, is next headed to be auctioned at the amfAR gala, where it will be modeled by Eva Herzigova.

Israeli Top Model attracts much attention at Cannes Film Festival kick off

CANNES (EJP)---The worlds of fashion and film collided on the red carpets of the French Riviera on Wednesday night as the 2008 Cannes film festival kicked off.

Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli’s jewel-dress designed jointly by Italian stylist Alberta Ferretti and Swiss jeweler Chopard attracted much attention from the press.

The unique piece, valued at 700,000 euros, will be auctioned on May 22 at a charity dinner for the American foundation against AIDS.

The film festival was officially declared open by Claude Lanzmann, French director of "Shoah," the monumental nine-hour documentary about the Holocaust.

In his opening speech, Lanzmann praised what he termed "Planet Cinema" for its vastly varying creations -- such as "Jackie Brown" and "Shoah" -- and the fraternity of the filmmaking community.

The 12-day Cannes Film Festival’s competition jury is chaired by American actor Sean Penn.

Penn and his co-jurors, including Nathalie Portman, the Israeli-born US actress, will award Cannes's coveted Palme d'Or prize for best film when the festival ends May 25.
