I don’t know if anyone is interested, but I started this new blog yesterday combining film and fashion. Check it out if you want: filmorfashion.tumblr.com.
If you like what I wrote about “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” be sure to follow this blog! While awaiting new material, you can already read the other two posts I made ;)
For me, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is about a young girl (Holly Golightly, played by Audrey Hepburn) looking for happiness. She thinks the only way she can be happy is if she can find a rich man who’ll be able to buy her jewellery from Tiffany’s. Naturally at the end of the movie, she finds herself loving a man without wealth, ‘but who makes her happy’.
Situated at the end of the fifty’s/ begin of the sixty’s, I tried to find clothes to fit the area.
1.In this picture she’s wearing a double breasted orange coat. The color fits wel with her personality, and her mood in that scene. She’s with Paul doing all kinds of things for the first time. She’s verry cheerfull and livley, and bright colors go wel with that!
- A purple Miu Miu coat from Net-A-Porter
- A red coat/mantle from Nadinoo. I think Holly would look great in the red mantle, I couldn’t find a proper photo of it, but it’s the same as the blue and the brown one, so you’ll get the idea. I found the last picture in a book about retro fashion. It’s a great book, they organize designers and brands by the time that influenced their clothing. This one was situated between 1930 and 1945.
2.Here she’s wearing a salmon orange morning gown (the right expression is salmon pink, but this color is more orange). I myself love wearing morning gowns. If I don’t have to leave the house, I’ll be runing around in them all day!
- No need to look for other options, this is it! yeah, I know it’s not even a morning gown, and the only resemblance between this dress, and the corresponding photo, is that they both are salmon orange. But imagine being able to walk around in this every morning! (okay, maybe not every morning). This dress is from Chanel’s 2008 resort collection. (photo from style.com)
- If you do look for other options, the second photo is from Dolce&Gabbana’s 2009 spring collection. (photo from style.com)
3.Breakfast at Tiffanys is well known for the black Givenchy dress that Audrey Hepburn is wearing in the opening scene (it’s not the dress in the picture). In this scene she’s on her way to visit Sally Tomato in SingSing (prison).
“I’ve got to do something about the way I look. I mean a girl just can’t go to Sing Sing with a green face!” – Holly
Here she’s wearing a little black dress, a floppy hat with a wide brim and a salmon pink head band (this time it’s right!), and a little black purse (you can’t see it, its out of the picture).
“it’s really touching all the women wearing their prettiest things, I love them for it!”
With the words femininity and black in mind, I immediately think about Dolce&Gabbana. Dolce&Gabbana is my all-time favorite designer brand, so maybe I’m a little prejudiced. But I like waisting time and looking at their collections, so here are some LBD’s. From left to right: rtw fall 2010, spring 2010, spring 2011, and the last two are from the spring 2012 collection.
