Fashion Influences from The Big Screen.

Fashion Influences From Pulp Fiction.

The popular 1994 film Pulp Fiction, features two key looks popular in the 90s, ultra feminine and androgyny.

Over sized shirts, structured jackets and fitted trousers tied in with a strict bob and red lips was the fashion for women in the 90s. This style epitomises sexy yet in a masculine style. This era changed women's fashion forever, no longer were mini skirts and tight fitted clothes required to be sexy.

Influences in this film can be seen in the 2013 spring/summer collection designed by Paco Rabanne and Francesco Scognamiglio and again in 2012 Miu Miu collection.

A discussion of fashion and film is incomplete without including the iconic 1960s movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. A movie that influenced the fashion trends of the time. Breakfast at Tiffany's was adapted for the screen from Truman Capote’s 1958 best-selling novella. This movie was around a era where fashion was chic and classy, a sophisticated style for cocktail parties complete with of course diamonds.

Fashion designer Hubert Givenchy and costume designer Edith Head created the icon garment styles throughout the movie and achieved great success. The combined genius of Hubert Givenchy and Edith Head resulted not only in the actress Audrey Hepburn's elevation to iconic status and stardom but also the ensembles she wore during the film have became as recognisable as the actress herself today.

The film continues to influence fashion and beauty today, even fifty years after its release to the big screen. Its influence in the fashion world is seen constantly in the form of “classic style” which was a huge trend to evolve after the films depute.

Audrey Hepburn's famous Givenchy dress was made of Italian black satin, fitted at the waist. The greatest emphasis in the film’s costuming was placed on accessories. In the opening scene accessories are as famous as the dress, the Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses, long black opera gloves, the miniature tiara and multi-layer pearl necklace have been associated with the film and Audrey ever since.

This style is seen in Ted Bakers winter 2014 collection.

Fashion Influences From The Great Gatsby.

The Great Gatsby 2013 remake by Baz Luhrmann influenced a revival of the 1920s fashion. The 'Roaring Twenties' look is a current present day fashion appeal, returning time and time again in fashion trends.

This style can be seen in the spring/summer 2012 collection by fashion company Marchesa. Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig offered frequent and opulent input toward “Great Gatsby” themed luxury fashion.

In 2011 the opulent theme is seen in Marc Jacobs collection and again in 2011 by Tory Burch.

The costume designer in the iconic picture was Catherine Martin who collaborated with Italian designer Miuccia Proda. For the menswear in the picture the duo partnered with Tiffany & Co and Brooks Brothers.

There’s more than an influence of The Great Gatsby at Brooks Brothers. The store is selling a collection of suits modelled after those worn in the film, including the famous pink suit.

The Great Gatsby has continued to influence fashion from the catwalk to the high street time and time again after it's original realise in 1974 and it seems will continue to do so in future fashion.
