Anyone have any opinions about fashion in movies? The first thing that came to my mind was the LBD in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

The Matrix simultaneously borrowed a lot from goth/industrial club fashions AND inspired those same subcultures. You saw a lot more people wearing cassock-style trench coats and a lot more pvc.

Zoolander is one big fashion in-joke, down to Mila last-name-I-can't-spell (she played the evil henchwoman); her entire wardrobe in the movie was reproductions of Thierry Mugler couture designs.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

What I mean by the LBD being the first thing that came to mind is that I just knew I had to have a dress like that. Maybe not that exact dress, but a dress that I could throw on for anything. My LBD is a DvF black wrap, but it's the same idea.

And Jilli, I'm blaming you for introducing me to polyvore and thus having it eat my whole evening last night.

I'm ... sorry? Yeah, Polyvore is insanely addictive.

To bring it back to the topic at hand, I pretty much recreated a modern version of Marylin's outfit in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

The pink dress? Or something else?

Speaking of Audrey Hepburn and fashion, I naturally think of Funny Face.

Pink dress, yes. I know Funny Face is on "the list" but I haven't seen it and don't feel like I could write about it in the post-though I don't know why I'm being so hard on myself, because without me, D would have to do it and I don't think he's given half as much thought to fashion in movies as I have.

Because books.

My weirdo fashion inspiration was the HBO movie Iron-Jawed Angels. I wanted a complete 1920s wardrobe immediately.

I loved the fashion in Heathers so much at the time that I went right out and bought blue tights (just like Veronica!).

Just got back from Jennifer's Body, thought it was interesting in a post-Buffy way. Dug up an interview with the director. They talk about quite a few things, the most surprising to me was that John Sayles worked on an unproduced Brother Termite script.
