There are many films that have marked milestones in the world of fashion, but some of them will always stay in our mind, just because they are an amalgam of colors and textures that is almost like looking at a work of art. There are very few films that impress by fashion, the jewelry, makeup and a perfect scenography. If you like fashion these movies are recommended for you.
Breakfast with diamonds
Based on the book by author Truman Capote, Breakfast with diamonds ( Breakfast at Tiffany’s) it is a classic of cinema and fashion. The costumes used in the film were tailored especially for Audrey Hepburn by Givenchy.. And who does not remember the famous black dress that Audrey Hepburn wears while having breakfast with a croissant in front of the display case of the iconic Tiffany jewelry?. In addition, all the costumes of the protagonist are still valid.
gone With the Wind
The costumes are essential in a period film and this has been one of the films most faithful to the period in which it takes place. Not for less, designer Walter Plunkett created 5.000 costumes for the main characters and thousands for the extras. Scarlett O'Hara's costumes represented 2 eras: the civil war and the reconstruction period and the changes in fashion are reflected in the film. The production cared so much about detail that Vivien Leigh's beautiful blue eyes (Scarlett O´Hara) they looked green when no contact lenses existed, with a mostly green wardrobe and lighting effects for close-ups.
The great Gatsby
This tape is a visual charm that shows the waste and opulence of the happy years 20, depicted by Scott Fitzgerald in his book The Great Gatsby. The film won an oscar for best costume, Miuccia Prada created 40 designs for the cast and some Daisy outfits (Carey Mulligan). Many of us would love to have that wardrobe, because although it is vintage it becomes totally contemporary in the case of the protagonist's wardrobe.
Anna Karenina
Another tragic story based on the work of L. Tostoy and coincidentally released a little after the Great Gatsby, delights in her wardrobe designed by Jacqueline Durran, jewelery and scenery. Keira Knightley wore Chanel pearl and diamond creations valued at 2 million dollars and the wardrobe was inspired by the most elegant fashion houses in the period of years 50: Balenciaga, Dior and Lanvin. What is sad about this film is counteracted by the class and opulence of the costumes and scenery.: each scene looks like something out of a pop up book.
Sabrina
Another film that starred Audrey Hepburn and required for every fashionista. The plot of the film is simple: an introverted teenager travels to France and returns as a beautiful woman with her Gamine Chic style. This is the first film where a Parisian designer (Givenchy) makes the protagonist's wardrobe. One of the most controversial costumes in the history of film fashion is the black cocktail dress with shoulder ties and a youthful headdress., because it appeared with the signature of Edith Head designer of the Paramount, but it was designing by Hubert de Givenchy.
Marie Antoinette
Although it is not the best film version about Marie Antoinette, yes it is one of the most aesthetically beautiful films. The locations of the Palace of Versailles and the costumes are the best of this film.
Diary of a passion
This movie is full of inaccuracies but it is fascinating. The truth is that Allie's wardrobe ( Rachel McAdams) It is spectacular. Skirts fitted at the waist, shades of gem color, gloves and small hats or headdresses that were used in the 40; for me one of the best decades in wardrobe for favoring the female silhouette without extravagances.
