<b>When you dye your hair black, </b><br />
<b>you need to deal with the Goth-chick look that comes with it.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you're naturally blonde, ginger, or even a light-shaded brunette, dying your hair black (or even dark brown) will have massive consequences to your everyday wardrobe decisions.<br />
<br />
How can you go to classes/the store/work dressed normally? It's a dead giveaway that you've just dyed your hair and don't know what you're doing with it. If you're pale, with black hair, it's pretty much mandatory to channel a Gothic look.<br />
<br />
Take Ernessa (Cole) in <i>The Moth Diaries</i> (2011). The film may be painfully mediocre, but at least Ernessa is there to give you style tips on how to work the non-Goth-Goth-look.<br />
<br />
Let's review:<br />
<br />
1) Stick to the basics; whilst she may have to wear a uniform at boarding school, the crisp white shirt paired with a navy cardigan provides just enough Goth-chick influence without making you look as if you're going to an Evanescence concert.<br />
<br />
2) A parka should really be your only coat of choice.<br />
<br />
3) Knits are your best friends.<br />
<br />
However, an all out Goth-look can be quite fun, especially if you want to make people feel a little uncomfortable around you. For the best results, team your look with a "who's that creepy girl sitting in the corner all by herself?"-attitude.</div>

<b>Sin City: where women's sexuality is the most powerful of weapons.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Picture the most exaggerated rendering of a classic film noir femme fatale. Now add a dash of extreme homicidal tendencies, some distaste for men, and a hint of stripper/prostitute attire and you will have the perfect formula for most of, if not all, the women of <i>Sin City: A Dame to Kill For</i> (2014). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After nearly a decade of anticipation, we have finally been treated to a follow up of Frank Miller's hugely popular <i>Sin City</i> (2005). With Robert Rodriguez back as co-director, expectations were incredibly high for the latest adaptation of Miller's bloody violent graphic novels. Although the film may not have surpassed its predecessor in terms of quality, it undoubtedly provided audiences with an array of darkly twisted and intriguing female characters. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Contrary to the first film, <i>A Dame to Kill For</i> appeared to portray the women of Sin City as more complex beings than your standard damsels in distress. Whereas returning characters such as Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba) and Gail (Rosario Dawson) had to previously be rescued from desperate situations by men, they now took their own initiative, and either enlisted the help of men for their own missions or worked alongside them as equals. Considerably one of the standout moments of this film, we witness the frustrated stripper Nancy take a shard of broken mirror to her face, in an alcohol-fueled plan to prove to herself and others that she is no longer simply a "pretty" face, that she can and will avenge the man she loved. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Which she did, in a studded leather jacket.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like Nancy, almost all of the women of Sin City took on a more hardcore role when it came to clothing. Whilst dominatrix prostitute Gail may only have evolved further in her badass ensembles, the change in Old Town was very noticeable (although somewhat confusing - wasn't this storyline a prequel to the first film?). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The only character who did not adhere to the dark and dangerous dresscode was newcomer Ava (Eva Green). Her wardrobe mainly consisted of sultry lingerie, a sheer dressing gown and a very impressive blue satin coat - that is, when she wasn't completely naked, which was most of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Unlike Rodriguez's <a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/cult-status-women-of-machete-kills.html" target="_blank">previous action film</a>, which also featured a female-heavy cast, <i>A Dame to Kill For</i> manages to avoid offending and problematizing the representation of female sexuality. Sin City is a place where strippers are strippers, prostitutes are prostitutes and nobody judges. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Who is considered a modern-day iconic actress? What defines a stylish screen icon?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's difficult to say for certain, but what can be said is that none will ever compare to the legendary Lauren Bacall (1924-2014). This beautiful, talented and outrageously witty woman defined what it was to be a femme fatale in film noir in the 1940s.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her portrayal of Vivian, alongside her first husband Humphrey Bogart, in <i>The Big Sleep</i> (1946) was not only wickedly entertaining, but also incredibly stylish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bacall's influence will continue to make an impact for many decades to come.</div>

If I were to apply the lessons learned from <i>Closer </i>(2004) to my current situation in life, what I would take from it is this: moving to London can be dangerous for the soul.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Without even getting into the damages of the detrimental love-square that these characters experience, my main concern is almost entirely concentrated on aesthetics. The thought of being run over by a taxi on a busy street wearing <i>that </i>coat and having <i>that </i>hair gives me chills.</div>

Alice/Jane (Portman) may be a slightly naive free-spirit, but when the best part of your wardrobe is your stripper uniform, it's time to take a step back and re-prioritise your life. </div>

Costume designer extraordinaire Ann Roth definitely missed the mark with Natalie Portman in this film. Having previously done such a great job with <i>Dressed to Kill</i> (1980), <i>Working Girl</i> (1988), <a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/the-inspiration-gwyneth-paltrow-in.html" target="_blank"><i>The Talented Mr. Ripley</i></a> (1999), <i>The Stepford Wives</i> (2004), <i>Mamma Mia!</i> (2008) and others, I am rather disappointed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although, here's a slightly worrying thought: Alice's look when she eventually returns to New York is rather effortlessly chic. Is this because she's in New York or because she's single? <a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/love-fest-notebook.html" target="_blank">Some women</a> do seem to dress better when they've broken up with someone. </div>

MTV's iconic show <i>House of Style</i> is finally back, with none other than the incredibly stylish Iggy Azalea as the host. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The original series began its eleven year run in January 1989, with hosts such as Cindy Crawford exploring the world of models, fashion and celebrity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This season, MTV has announced that the series will focus on "how music and fashion interact on a daily basis".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The five-minute premiere of the second season, which is now a webseries, saw Iggy meet up with designer Jeremy Scott (head designer at Moschino) to do some vintage shopping in L.A.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>there is no excuse for a bland wardrobe in London.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
London, New York, Paris, Rome. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are cities in which it is mandatory to make an effort with style, not only because they are inhabited by millions of people - and if you want to stand out, you must look the part - but also because they are fashionable capitals in their own right, and as one of the inhabitants you must adhere to a certain standard as a form of respect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This isn't to say that one is restricted to a certain dress code, but rather that one ought to feel obliged to dress appropriately. Would you wear jeans and a t-shirt to the Oscars? Hopefully not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In Paris the stylish folk are known for their laidback Parisian Chic-look, whilst in Rome luxurious glamour is a favourite. New York and London often seem to be rather undecided on a definitive "look".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So with the liberty that London style brings, why did Nola Rice (Scarlett Johansson) go for the extremely laidback / bordering on boring-look in <i>Match Point</i> (2005)?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although costume designer Jill Taylor may have missed the mark this time, she more than made up for it <i>My Week with Marilyn</i> (2011). That was <a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-icon-michelle-williams-in-my-week.html" target="_blank">iconic</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After having just returned from a trip to London, I now plan on moving to London, and I can tell you that this is the look I will try to avoid once I get there.</div>

The Silent Film era of Hollywood must have been a glamorous one. Spanning from the late 1800s up until the late 1920s, many icons rose to popularity during this time. With no audible dialogue to distract from the visual, silent films relied heavily on the aesthetics of props, sets, actors and their actions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And, of course, their costumes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Peppy Miller (Bejo) and her wardrobe perfectly capture the style of young women at the time, providing some quintessential Flapper looks.</div>

Costume designer Mark Bridges won several awards for his work in <i>The Artist</i> (2011), including an Oscar. He has also previously worked on the likes of <i>Boogie Nights</i> (1997), <i>Blow </i>(2001), <i>There Will Be Blood</i> (2007) and <i>Silver Linings Playbook</i> (2012), not to mention his involvement in the upcoming <i>Fifty Shades of Grey</i> (2015).</div>

When you find yourself stuck in a rut of isolation and a drab existence, sometimes you need to step outside of your comfort zone and pursue whatever random opportunity presents itself, no matter how frightening it may be. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Take Jo (Audrey Hepburn), for instance. She worked at a dark little bookstore in New York when, by a twist of fate, the editor and photographer for a women's fashion magazine decided to conduct an impromptu photoshoot there. What ensued was a job offer in Paris to model for the magazine and a well-known fashion designer. Could life have gotten any better for Jo?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Though <i>Funny Face</i> (1957) may be somewhat flawed in the sense that at the heart of the film is a love story between Audrey and Fred Astaire - yawn - it is still nonetheless a musical about fashion, set in Paris.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Costume design legend, Edith Head, also provided some iconic looks in <i>All About Eve</i> (1950), <i>Roman Holiday </i>(1953), <i>Rear Window</i> (1954) and <i>Vertigo</i> (1958), not to mention that she shared the work on this film with none other than the great Hubert de Givenchy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b>Cowgirl Chic beats Hippie Chic this season.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Summer trends are generally very one dimensional. Although florals, bright colours, cut-off denim and anything boho are great looks, for these warmer months you should channel the Western-look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Seth MacFarlane's hugely disappointing and completely unfunny <i>A Million Ways to Die in the West</i> had only one thing going for it: Anna (Charlize Theron). She's a badass. She's smart. She's cool. And she rocks those cowboy boots, that long skirt, that button-down shirt and fedora.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Definite summer-style inspiration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Costume designer Cindy Evans has also worked on <i>Thirteen </i>(2003), <i>Lords of Dogtown</i> (2005), <i>Red Riding Hood</i> (2011), <i>Savages </i>(2012) and <i>August: Osage County</i> (2013). Another one to keep an eye on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although everything about Anna is basically perfect, it may be best not to attend any square dances held in a barn. Just a thought.</div>

<b>Once upon a dream...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is something about Disney's female villains that demand elaborate creepy couture. Just like <a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/the-icon-charlize-theron-in-snow-white.html" target="_blank">the Evil Queen</a> in <i>Snow White and the Huntsman</i> (2012) before her, Maleficent's (Angelina Jolie) wardrobe is not only a display of masterful craftsmanship from a team of designers, but also a detailed representation of the character and her story.<br />
<br />
Essentially a good fairy turned evil, Maleficent's descent into the dark side was provoked by the betrayal of her love interest; a young man so desperate to become king that he molested Maleficent by cutting off her wings.<br />
<br />
Maleficent's wardrobe is the ultimate representation of a scorned woman out for revenge.<br />
<br />
Apparently, Angelina herself hand-picked the team of designers responsible for her look and further provided input as "all the designs were led by how Angelina envisioned the savage elegance of her character," as mentioned in an <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/angelina-jolies-maleficent-costumes-707087" target="_blank">article</a> in <i>The Hollywood Reporter</i>.<br />
<br />
Savage elegance. Love it.<br />
<br />
To achieve savage elegance, simply introduce leather, feathers, (faux) animal-skin and bone-inspired accessories to your everyday look.<br />

Safe. Being safe. What is "safe"?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Is "safe" familiarity? Is it repetition? Is it predictability? </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sentence "a safe choice" can mean something good or something bad. Usually it's something bad.</div>

<i>Revolutionary Road</i> (2008) is one of the most depressing films ever. Somehow whenever Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio come together, they create a beautiful tragedy. </div>

Costume designer, Albert Wolsky, has created some iconic looks in <i>Grease </i>(1978), <i>Manhattan </i>(1979), <i>Sophie's Choice</i> (1982), <i>Runaway Bride</i> (1999) <i>Galaxy Quest</i> (1999) and <i>Across the Universe</i> (2007). Such diversity.</div>

<b>Raven/Mystique: a unique designer or fashion counterfeiter? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here's one thing I've been thinking about since I saw the new X-Men film: can Raven/Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) decide how to assemble her ensembles?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Comic book characters, especially the ones with extreme superpowers, are rather confusing to me, so I apologize in advance if all of this sounds ridiculous. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From what I've understood, Mystique's natural physical appearance is her blue form. When she turns into "normal" Jennifer Lawrence, this is what she feels like she would look like if she was "normal". But does she not have to mimic someone's appearance; as in she cannot just turn into someone she's made up? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Does the same apply to her clothes? Does she have to see an outfit on someone before she can "wear" it? Can she see different items of clothing and then put together an outfit? Can she make up clothes? Is she the ultimate designer?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mystique's wardrobe is almost as confusing and plot hole ridden as the actual film. It was good though (both her wardrobe and the film). Can't really go wrong with the 70s.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Louise Mingenbach, the costume designer, has worked on the likes of <i>Gossip </i>(2000), <i>X-Men</i> (2000), <i>X-Men 2</i> (2003), <i>X-Men Origins: Wolverine</i> (2009), as well as all <i>The Hangover</i> trilogy (2009-2013). Interesting resumé.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Definitely prefer Raven/Mystique of the 70s to Raven/Mystique of the 60s in <i>X-Men: First Class</i> (2011). Then again, there was no Emma Frost. Who knows how amazing this film would have been with <a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.fi/2013/06/the-inspiration-january-jones-in-x-men.html" target="_blank">her</a>.</div>

<b>No film is as fashionable as a film about fashion.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When creating a Bildungsroman-esque film about an iconic French fashion designer, it is safe to assume that there will be a fair share of risk involved. But when you have said fashion designer's business partner's / long-term companion's approval, you may rest assured that you have a hit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Yves Saint Laurent</i> chronicles the designer's life and career, from when he first became head designer at Christian Dior at the youthful age of 21, how he created his own brand as a result of being fired, how he came to struggle with drug-abuse whilst partying with the likes of Andy Warhol, as well as the pressure and anxiety that came with being one of the world's most influential designers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh yes, and most importantly, at the heart of the film is the tempestuous and, at times, heartbreaking love story between Yves (played by Pierre Niney) and Pierre Bergé (Guillaume Gallienne) that lasted until the designer's death in 2008.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In fact, it was Bergé's assistance that made this film as true-to-life as possible; he loaned 77 vintage YSL outfits to the production, many of which were iconic signature looks of the designer's. This is perhaps one of the best aspects of the film, as it works as a historical exhibition-like feature, providing a context and setting for his creations. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're obsessed with the fashion industry, you will also be delighted to catch several glimpses of the one-and-only Karl Lagerfeld (Nikolai Kinski) in his youth, and Yves's early model/muse Victoire Doutreleau (Charlotte Le Bon), as well as his later muse Loulou de la Falaise (Laura Smet). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It will be interesting to see how <i>Saint Laurent</i>, another French biopic that will be released later this year, will fair compared to this gem. It will star Gaspard Ulliel (young Hannibal Lecter from <i>Hannibal Rising</i> (2007), hmm...) as Yves, Jérémie Renier as Bergé, and It-Girl of the moment Léa Seydoux as Loulou.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It may be rather scandalous, seeing as real-life Bergé did not support that project.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There was something magical about style in the 1990s. After the over-the-top stylings of the 80s, fashion definitely experienced a hangover during this decade, resulting in some extremely lazy, laid back looks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you think of the 90s, the Grunge look is generally what first comes to mind (or perhaps it's the <i>Clueless </i>style?). But that's not the only look that has carried on to influence us up to modern day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lazy chic. Or laid back chic. Which is more forgiving? Hangover chic? Blasé chic?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Whatever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What is better than wearing ultra simple clothes, paired with silly accessories?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The popular, beauty-pageant type girls such as Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in <i>I Know What You Did Last Summer</i> (1997) perhaps rocked this look the best. Mom-jeans, crop tops, denim shorts. It's somewhere between Grunge and <i>Clueless</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What's so fantastic about this look is that it is completely effortlessly cool. </div>

<b>"This dress cost more than your f***ing life!"</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Where do you draw the line between extravagant mockery and insulting exploitation? Gratuitously skimpy costumes? A machine gun bra? That thing that Sofia Vergara wore around her crotch, which was supposed to look like something else, that turned out to be a pistol?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To describe Robert Rodriguez's <i>Machete Kills</i> (2013) as "problematic" would be an overwhelming understatement. Whilst watching it, it's difficult not to get distracted from the so-called storyline and drift into an internal debate about which female character (and her costumes) are the most offensive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It should come as no surprise that this sequel to <i>Machete </i>(2010), which was hugely disappointing, would be utterly lacklustre as well. What is somewhat surprising, however, is the array of well-known actresses who chose to participate in this abomination. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Amber Heard plays Miss San Antonio, a secret service agent / spy / assassin (I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention), posing as a Texan beauty pageant contestant. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sofía Vergara is Desdemona, a literal maneater, a madame at a brothel who despises men so much that she either eats parts of their bodies or shoots them with her machine gun bra.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lady Gaga, unsurprisingly, plays La Camaleón, a hit-man (again, not sure about this one) who changes face and apparently gender whenever he/she is seen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then of course there is Michelle Rodriguez's Luz, a.k.a. Shé, the leader of an illegal immigrant aid movement, who wears an eye-patch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What is interesting, as well as a little unsettling, about all these characters is the question as to whether or not they are intended to be empowering, or if they, much like their costumes, are simply mockery disguised as empowerment. To what degree are these characters and their costumes a reflection of classic tropes of exploitation cinema? Has it been taken too far?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Interesting side note: costume designer Nina Proctor has previously worked on the likes of Grindhouse epics <i>Death Proof</i> (2007) and <i>Planet Terror</i> (2007), as well as the first <i>Machete</i>, and we will next see her work in the upcoming <i>Sin City: A Dame To Kill For</i>. Seems she has a knack for dressing some controversial female characters.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sci-fi and style have a very tricky relationship. Quite often you'll find that futuristic depictions of somewhat dystopian societies centre around characters who either have very little to no financial stability, or live in a world where money is not a contributing factor to existence. These types of films barely typify influential style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unless it's <i><a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/the-inspiration-jennifer-lawrence-in.html" target="_blank">The Hunger Games</a></i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, every once in a while, a sci-fi film will emerge where style plays a big role in the storyline. Although <i>In Time</i> (2011) may not be great film in itself, it does present some outstanding looks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried) is a sheltered rich girl who is taken hostage by the poor Will (Justin Timberlake). Obviously, they fall in love, and she converts to his righteous cause.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Whilst on the run, Sylvia dons some incredibly chic, yet somehow intense attire and platform heels. Though her looks seem overwhelming impractical, you simply must take them for what they are: badass looks. </div>

Now that the sunny season has finally arrived, it's necessary to consider what type of theme your summer will take through style.<br />
<br />
Will it be ultra-feminine, with pastels, florals and flowy fabrics?<br />
<br />
Will it be laidback beach-babe, with shorts and tank tops?<br />
<br />
Personally, I will go for the <i>Coyote Ugly</i> (2000) route. Nothing screams a good time quite like crop tops, denim, occasionally leather, belt buckles, band t-shirts and drinking in dingy bars.<br />
<br />
If ever there was the perfect attire for a road trip across the USA, this would be it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Costume designer Marlene Stewart has worked on the likes of <i>Terminator 2: Judgement Day</i> (1991), <i>Gone in Sixty Seconds</i> (2000), <i>The Holiday</i> (2006), <i>Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters</i> (2013), just to name a few.</div>
<br />
Now all I need to do is find a bar where they won't kick you out for dancing on the bar.<br />

<b>"On Wednesdays, we wear pink."</b></div>

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014. Remember this day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remember it not only because it has been 10 years since the release of one of the funniest, most quotable, most stylish films of all time, but because this day happened to land on a Wednesday. A Wednesday when we should all be wearing pink in honour of <i>Mean Girls</i> (2004).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is not enough time in the day to soak-up the awesomeness of <i>Mean Girls</i> as a whole, thus shall we instead look back at all the wisdom regarding style that this particular rendition of Girl World has taught us?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>"You can't wear a tank-top two days in a row.</b>" - Repeat outfits are fine, but not two days in a row.</li>
<li><b>"We only wear jeans or track pants on Fridays."</b> - If you're going super casual, do it at the end of the week when your style-mind has overloaded with all the pressure of looking good during the week.</li>
<li><b>"Sweat pants are all that fits me right now."</b> - You know it's time to hit the gym when style has taken a serious hit.</li>
<li><b>"You wouldn't buy a skirt without asking your friends first if it looks good on you."</b> - Be an individual, be a trend-setter, but bear in mind, you may look like an art-freak. Second opinions from people who share your style values are always appreciated.</li>
<li><b>"You can't join mathletes, it's social suicide!"</b> - Geek-chic is a thing of the past.</li>
<li><b>"Oh my God, I love your bracelet, where did you get it?"</b> - Be careful with accessories. </li>
<li><b>"I'm sorry people are so jealous of me, but I can't help it that I'm popular."</b> - Haters will be haters, and you can't let the haters keep you from doing your (style) thang.</li>
<li><b>"I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip-flops, so I bought army pants and flip-flops."</b> - Don't be afraid to take inspiration from stylish people around you. </li>
<li><b>"She doesn't even go here!"</b> - Remember to be mindful of your surroundings. Dress up or dress down, but be appropriate. You don't want to stick out of the crowd, looking like you're trying to fit in somewhere you don't belong.</li>
<li><b>"It's like slang, from England."</b> - Be inspired by different cultures. </li>
<li><b>"Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."</b> - Embrace this with caution.</li>
<li><b>"[The Plastics] are like teen royalty. If North Shore was US Weekly, they would always be on the cover."</b> - Aspire to greatness.</li>
<li><b>"She has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus."</b> - Have a trademark.</li>
<li><b>"Check it out: Junior Plastics."</b> - Inspire others with your style. You may leave a legacy behind with every style choice you make.</li>
<li><b>"Own it."</b> - Enough said. </li>
</ol>

<b>Is it too late to pull off this look?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let's talk about Wednesday Addams (Christina Ricci) from <i>The Addams Family</i> (1991).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When is it acceptable to dress like Wednesday?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Halloween</li>
<li>Today</li>
<li>Tomorrow</li>
<li>Yesterday</li>
<li>All other days and nights.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Same could be said of <a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/the-icon-anjelica-huston-in-addams.html" target="_blank">Morticia</a>, actually. Perhaps Wednesday's wardrobe is more casual though.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although <a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/cult-status-winona-ryder-in-beetlejuice.html" target="_blank">Lydia Deetz</a> from <i>Beetlejuice </i>(1988) may have been the original Emo, perhaps Wednesday was the one to bring day-time Goth glamour into style (because her mother was undoubtedly the Goth Queen).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes, this will be the look to aspire to from now on.</div>

Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) is finally back and more colourful than ever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since the last time we saw the beautiful brainiac in action, her style has remained much the same, although perhaps having matured ever so slightly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gwen's style is very NYC Prep School-chic, with stylish blazers and coats, skirts and knee-high socks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are not necessarily groundbreaking looks, but classic nonetheless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Costume designer Deborah Lynn Scott has previously worked on films such as <i>Titanic </i>(1997), <i>Wild Wild West</i> (1999), <i>The Island</i> (2005), and the <i>Transformers</i> series (2007-2011). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What was interesting about Gwen's looks was the change in colour palette. In the previous film, she wore much <a href="http://whenfashionmetfilm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/gwen-stacy-vs-catwoman-good-girl-or.html" target="_blank">darker tones</a>, but this time we were treated to an array of hues ranging from purple to teal to yellow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hmm, wonder what the significance was.</div>

Woody Allen has disappointed me so. I'm glad I didn't rush to see <i>To Rome with Love</i> (2012) at the cinema when it came out. I may have cried.</div>

<b>In season 7, the 70s are on their way.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Please don't take this the wrong way: although films are/have been/always will be Number One when it comes to style, every once in a while a TV show will make its way into your life that not only gets you hooked on it, but it leaves you pining for more. This is a <b>TV Takeover</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although this is a somewhat rare occurrence, it does happen. First there was <i>Sex & the City</i> (1998-2004), then came <i>Gossip Girl</i> (2007-2012), but the most exciting show for the past few years has undoubtedly been <i>Mad Men</i> (2007-). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Centred on the lives and professions of Madison Avenue's advertising executives and employees in the 1960s, this show has expertly portrayed what fashion looked like back in the day and, more significantly, what kind of a role style played in each characters' representation of their own image.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the first few seasons, we saw how most of the female characters were still heavily influenced by the demure look of the 1950s. In later seasons, these women began to embrace the more playful and sexy choices of the 1960s. They swapped the kitten-heels for go-go boots, the full skirts for minis, and the pretty pastels for bold geometric prints.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now that the show is in its final season, and the timeline is set in the late 60s, we can expect that the style will reflect the evolution of fashion at the turn of the decade. How main costume designer, Katherine Jane Bryant, will choose to display this is unsure, but more than likely we will see some type of bohemian and/or disco undertones. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As the premiere of the season just aired, let us analyse some of the key aspects we have observed:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Megan Draper (Jessica Paré) is the only one who makes a real effort. </b><br />As the youngest of Don Draper's women (not counting his daughter), Megan is the most in tune with the trends going on at the time and is not afraid to proudly portray her obvious love for fashion.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li><b>Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks) looks lovely in purple.</b><br />Joan is undoubtedly the matriarch at the advertising agency. She takes care of day-to-day happenings with the business and always seems to manage to help everyone out with their personal problems, all the while dressing in a professional, yet alluring manner.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li><b>Peggy Olson's (Elisabeth Moss) secretary is more stylish than she is.</b><br />Peggy has been, since the beginning of the show, constantly trying to prove her worth in a male-dominated industry. Because of this, her personal style has mainly remained on the back burner, as she appears to simply opt for comfortable and professional attire (though there are a few stand-out looks over the seasons).<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih5ycI44pRCCT7KociqB8-7xTSssXjLF9XYXWmNqMQHV9WEnpCSYYjBGiugFS8-QzNamNoklfIJfMLWUmH8OhTz_LoieAfMbfuCgPqEygWFfkYSaxfZq7jLdDrw0M9SyQ05MfyoXBhld4/s1600/Peggy+Olson,+Mad+Men+Season+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih5ycI44pRCCT7KociqB8-7xTSssXjLF9XYXWmNqMQHV9WEnpCSYYjBGiugFS8-QzNamNoklfIJfMLWUmH8OhTz_LoieAfMbfuCgPqEygWFfkYSaxfZq7jLdDrw0M9SyQ05MfyoXBhld4/s1600/Peggy+Olson,+Mad+Men+Season+7.jpg" height="221" width="400" /></a><br /><br /></div>
</li>
<li><b>Where is Betty Francis (January Jones)?</b><br />Don's ex-wife is the most stylish woman on the show. Sure, she went through that depressing chubby-phase, but who hasn't? Where is she and why was she not in the premiere?<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_tE1TajAfJdptdeyf6kVf5gxyZ7yMK8oV2e7Qvg90JOfSDGsfacrMStdunpgx79ulCoThMrr21oZpUVpR0YOkxen4XY-Y3u9rctXLx7O10Q0Jw_AjvEGobva0Lv7KiH11lZTURV89vrc/s1600/Betty+Francis,+Mad+Men+Season+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_tE1TajAfJdptdeyf6kVf5gxyZ7yMK8oV2e7Qvg90JOfSDGsfacrMStdunpgx79ulCoThMrr21oZpUVpR0YOkxen4XY-Y3u9rctXLx7O10Q0Jw_AjvEGobva0Lv7KiH11lZTURV89vrc/s1600/Betty+Francis,+Mad+Men+Season+6.jpg" height="223" width="400" /></a><br /><br /></div>
</li>
<li><b>Where is Sally Draper (Kiernan Shipka)?</b><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Don's daughter, though still quite young, has displayed some promising looks. We want to see more!</div>
<br />
<br />

Overall, perhaps not the greatest season premiere ever, but it'll do for now.</div>
