MOVIES FOR FASHION INSPIRATIONS

Funny Face;

Yes, yes, Breakfast at Tiffany’s – we know. The way she wears that little black dress. And the way she transforms even George Peppard into a must-have accessory. But as well as featuring great fashion, Funny Face is about fashion, too – Maggie Prescott is Diana Vreeland to Dick Avery’s Cecil Beaton. Hepburn, meanwhile, is perfect.

Factory Girl (2006)
This movie captures the mod style that was popular in the 1960s with lots of clean lines, bright colors and geometric prints. It also follows the story of one of everyone’s favorite fashion icons, Edie Sedgwick. Sienna Miller brings the era to life with mini-skirts, oversized jewelry and tall boots.

Gone with the Wind, 1939

Vivien Leigh’s Southern-belle accent was slightly wonky, but the graceful way she wore her antebellum wardrobe was impeccable. The scene in which Mammy harnesses Scarlett’s waist down to 18in inspired generations of sadistic fashion designers but, fiddle-dee-dee, we can’t help loving those Walter Plunkett designed ballgowns. Nor could the women of 1939 — the film launched numerous GWTW-inspired collections in stores across the world and continues to cast a crinolined shadow on the catwalks.

Those are the movies I most like and I know there are hundreds of really good movies inspired fashion but they my choices...
