Where do fashion trends come from? What impact does pop culture have on emerging trends? We understand and remember the most significant fashionable images in the cinema.
Is the mod able to change, for example, cinema? What came first - a fashion, or a screen heroine who is dressed fashionably? Who is looking at whom, who is copying from whom - are fashion designers from movie geniuses, or Hollywood costumers from catwalking stars? Today, as part of our new Theme of the Month, we understand and recall the most significant fashionable images in the cinema.
1. Holly Golightly, "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Holly Golightly’s black long dress is the most popular fashionable image in the cinema, even, according to the polls, more popular than the iconic white dress Marilyn Monroe, whose hem playfully soared up in the film “Seventh Year Itch”. "That same black dress" for the heroine Audrey Hepburn was personally created by Hubert de Givenchy. It is with this graphic model in the floor in the spirit of the 1960s that today the actress herself and the fashion designer are associated.
2. Girl, "Itching of the Seventh Year"
The Girl, the heroine of Marilyn Monroe in the film "Itch of the Seventh Year", does not even have a name. But there is a famous image - an advertising beauty in a white chiffon dress with a pleated skirt, which is lifted up by the air flow from the ventilation shaft. The Girl’s outfit overnight brought Monroe the title of style icon and made the star a sex symbol of the era. And the famous scene with a waving skirt has become one of the main in the history of cinema.
3.Margarita Gauthier, "The Lady with the Camellias"
Luxurious Margarita Gauthier can have everything - any outfits, jewelry, expensive champagne! Each image of Greta Garbo in "The Lady with the Camellias" is the embodiment of luxury, eye candy. In the plot of the film, the secular lady as a result prefers poverty to wealth, and chooses a modest young man from all her boyfriends. But at the same time it will remain stylish and delightful. How will she succeed? We must pay tribute to the rare breed of Garbo, its innate elegance. The luxury in its performance is not money, but the ability to file oneself. A well-known fact in the history of cinema: under chic magnificent skirts, the cult actress wore ... ordinary slippers so that nothing would hamper the freedom of her movements.
4. Scarlett O'Hara, "Gone with the Wind"
For the famous film 5500 original costumes were sewn, including 1200 army uniforms. But the film bestseller was remembered not only by its uniforms. The ruffles, lace, heavy outfits and corsets of the beautiful heroine performed by Vivien Leigh are the fashion encyclopedia of the time, from which to this day it takes your breath away. The creation of the famous green velvet dress The Curtain Dress took almost 12 meters of material! All outfits were sewn by designer Walter Plunkett.
5. Severina, "Daytime Beauty"
Luis Bunuel's Day Beauty is one of the most stylish films in world cinema. A whole collection of outfits specifically for Catherine Deneuve, the performer of the role of Severina, was created by Yves Saint Laurent. Strict jackets and skirts of a conservative length, tweed suits, concise trapeze dresses and "school" black dresses with collars - bourgeois outfits run counter to the sexuality of the inmatebrothel. Shoes for the film were created by the legendary Roger Vivier. Pilgrim shoes with a buckle on a low square heel have become an absolute hit. A year after the release of the film, Vivier sold 200 thousand pairs, and among the buyers were J. Onassis and the Duchess of Windsor.
6. Bonnie Parker, Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie can even turn a robbery into a fashion show. The brand name for the audience was a silk neckerchief and beret. Hundreds of unique outfits were created especially for actress Faye Deneway, but only a select few fell into the frame.
7. Baby, "Dirty Dancing"
80s style film anthology. About these beautiful 80s: chemistry "small demon", pink leggings, a T-shirt tied above a belly button, short denim shorts ... All this is abundant in one of the most beautiful romantic melodramas of the 80s.
8. Vesper Lind, Casino Royale
The most stylish James Bond girl performed by Eva Green. Charisma, intelligence and sexuality “from the mind” turn an ordinary accountant into a queen of charm, intrigue and insight. Her wardrobe is entirely an intellectual classic: from a strictly black coat and a white jacket from Roberto Cavalli to a stupefying purple dress on the floor from Versace.
9. Carrie Bradshaw, "Sex and the City"
The film, which was conceived as a television series about the adventures of four unmarried friends, very quickly turned into a real fashionable saga. A whole staff of costume designers worked for the heroines, led by Patricia Field. Outfits from Chanel, Gucci, Vera Wang were replaced in each frame. The image of Kerry allowed the actress Sarah Jessica Parker to consolidate the status of the style icon, despite the fact that her outfits were sometimes too extravagant.
10. "The devil wears Prada "
In this film, the same Patricia Field, and the outfits of Chanel, Calvin Klein, Miu Miu, Marni, evening dresses from Valentino and, of course, Prada, are in abundance. The film talks about the inside of the fashion industry, and was created as an exact copy of what is happening in the most famous American fashion magazine. Supermodels also appeared in the film: Heidi Klum and Gisele Bündchen. And the great and terrible Meryl Streep played the main stylish role.Photo: pinterest.com
