Fashion Films

Once in a while I get the urge to watch a Fashion Film. Now I don't mean a film about fashion I mean a movie that has a great Wardrobe. 

I love watching a movie just for the clothes, bags, shoes .... STYLING !  Fashion can be very inspiring to me. I like to look at how items are put together and I love to observe how a wardrobe paints a character in a movie or even in every day life ! 

Don't get me wrong some fashion statements are just wrong; I don't like everything but I know what I like and I can find it in these 3 Fashion Films:

-The Devil Wears Prada
- Sex and the City
-101/2 Dalmatians

So i'm going to pull out some images and hopefully take you on  a little Fashion Film journey .

The Devil Wears Prada

Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly 

I'm obsessed! My favourite part of the movie is when ... well I have 2 : 
- when they do all the cut away shots of Miranda walking into the office and throwing her coats and bags onto the desk . 
- when Miranda explains to Andy what her "blue sweater" represents... classic. 

Anyway, the wardrobe in this movie is amazing. 
Everything is so well styled. 
Miranda Priestly is a very classy bitch! Everything she wears is timeless. 

In this picture I love the little orange scarf well wrapped around her neck adding a touch of colour to her outfit. I'm also obsessed with the sunglasses she wears throughout the film that are icy cold like her hair totally reflecting the character. 

Anne Hathaway as Andy 

The styling for Andy is a little younger and edgier but still very classy. 

I love the cut of the sweater with the shirt buttoned to the top underneath. 

The necklace is amazing. Like a charm bracelet gone huge with the inevitable Chanel logo dangling. It makes a statement. Big jewellery always does! 
The hat is fun and young, especially with the hair tucked inside it ... and it's on a tilt so obviously that's a thumbs up from me.


The genius in the costume department for this film? Patricia Field. 

Sex and the City - The Movies

Kim Catrall as Samantha Jones

It's very hard to pick a stand out outfit from Sex and the City because the whole film is basically a fashion show. Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha have very different styles that you get to know when you watch the series and in the movie those individual styles are pushed to the extreme and it's great ! 

I love the Samantha Jones colourfull wardrobe. She often wears pencil skirts with blazers or off the shoulder tops with a belt. I love a Belt ! She always has Amazing earrings (and again i'm a big earring fan) and is hardly ever seen without a huge Bag. 

I feel like I would wear a lot of what she wears. 

In this picture I LOVE the TOP and BELT. I don't really know how to explain it but I would definitely wear this - someone hook me up ! She is Owning that Pavement. 

Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw 

Look at these outfits! So well put together ... 

Remember the "gladiator shoes" - far right ? 

Don't tell me you didn't go around looking for a pair after this movie! They are amazing and dare I say I got myself a great pair from Zara . Oh Happy Day. 

So who is responsible for this wardrobe? Patricia Field!  Again!! 


101/2 Dalmatians 

Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil 

Not sure where to start with this one. The Cruella wardrobe is insane. Everything she wears is So over the top, So co-ordinated, So impossible !!!

Let's take the Zebra outfit middle row, left. 
The hat is basically her hair but transformed into a russian style hat. The dress is all Zebra print with a high neck and super square shoulders. It looks so russian and mean ! Huge belt around her waist to sculpt the outfit and then the genius touch of red with the gloves, bag and lip. Oh and the cigarette holder. DUH ! 

Then the all red outfit ... well do I need to go there? Oh and the bottom far right - CRAZY ! Top left???? Geometry fashion !!! 

That's a hat - I want one! It hides her face to make her look mysterious and scary . The pointy edge goes with her pointy witch chin ! 
Does she have nails on top of the gloves? Yeh she does. 

This is a High Fashion Witch !! The names behind this incredible interpretation of a great Disney Character are Rosemery Burrows and Anthony Powell. 


Et voila! I hope you enjoyed my Fashion Film Post and you feel a sudden urge to watch one of these ... or all of them ! 

Much love and shoes,

à bientôt,
