10 films that you can learn the fashion of the 2000s
The most relevant topics of the moment - adolescents and the era of zero. At the same time, Marilyn Manson’s return to fashion, rhinestone accessories screaming about well-being, young actors from the series “Very Strange Things”, and the omnipresent logos on belts and bags, and, of course, millennials as the main consumers are at the same time. If you want to understand the style of such a recently bygone era, it is better not to find cinema material. We offer to review the top ten cult films with anthropological interest, paying close attention to the costumes - it is in them that the spirit of the times is reflected.
Crossroads
Crossroads, 2001
Road Movie, who gave us the only major role of the main pop singer of the era. Watching it is worth it first of all just for the sake of outfits: there is also an image of a “neighbor girl” - sneakers, simple T-shirts and flowered tops - and unexpected rock reincarnation, as it was represented in zero, and frank combinations - for example, a short blouse and jeans with very low fit, which were on Britney Spears during the performance of the final song.
Separate pleasure - to look at the pictures of actors during the premieres and press walls after the release of the film. This is where the luxury of zero: with caps, bandage dresses and grotesque shoes.
Phantom World
Ghost World, 2001
Another film about girlish friendship - only already telling about "alternative" zero. Vintage dresses, multi-colored hair, thick-rimmed glasses, heavy boots, T-shirts with prints from comics, leather jackets - about the same set of things could look relevant in the 90s, and the same looks appropriate today - if only because the teenage riot was, is and will be. The fact that the film was shot in 2001 is given only by the smallest details: hairpins, pendants, a short skirt in a very scottish cage for that time.
Mean Girls
Mean Girls, 2004
Growing up Lindsay Lohan was the laws of the genre: the actress has passed the path of those whose childhood was devoted to exhausting work on the set. Nevertheless, her name is still associated with the movie dashing zero: Lohan was shot in the most vivid films of the era, demonstrating how teenagers dressed. Freaky Friday, though not deserved the praise of critics, was popular with viewers and paved the way for High School Musical and other box office monsters.
The best movie of the actress - “Mean Deeds” is a real guide to the style of zero. The main color is pink, the most popular thing is a velvet suit, and accessories with colored logos such as those in the Louis Vuitton collection in collaboration with Takashi Murakami is the dream of every schoolgirl. "Mean Girls" pay attention to those who were left out or deliberately opposes themselves to the rest, including in fashion - choosing striped socks, baggy sweaters and fat eyeliner in the spirit of the early Avril Lavigne.
Country of Freaks
Orange county, 2001
The potential audience of the film in zero could be determined by the soundtrack: “girlish” movies were accompanied by ballads performed by Mandy Moore or Hilary Duff, films about dances - R & B, and “universal” - punk punk like Blink 182. “Country of Freaks” (like "Eurotour") - of the latter, and the tracks Crazy Town and The Offspring confirmation of this.
If you want to find out what the "relaxed Californian style" looked like, here you are - just the characters of the second plan choose it. The protagonist's girlfriend, non-stop, walks in a flowery silk skirt, while his loafers and friends flaunt a characteristic tattered hairstyle and in Hawaiian shirts. And although at the box office the film was positioned as an easy youth comedy, “Country of Freaks” managed to avoid vulgar cliches and sensibly tell about family, friends and the search for oneself.
Juneau
Juno, 2007
In one of the most famous independent films of zero “Juno”, the costumes play an important role: they allow you to better understand the character of the characters, especially the main character - the pregnant schoolgirl. There is no hint of the pretentiousness characteristic of the epoch - everyone looks as relaxed as possible, perhaps, except for her friend Juno, who would easily fit into “Mean Girls”, she loves pink so much. Needless to say, if one of the most memorable things in the film is a home phone in the form of a burger.
If you look closely, the characteristic stylistic techniques are obvious - for example, t-shirts are worn here without fail over thin long sleeves (and this fashion, judging by the recent show of Louis Vuitton, returns). The title frame of the film - Michael Cera in running uniform and pregnant Ellen Page in hoodie and skirt over jeans - inspired from year to year by the choice of Halloween costumes.
Thirteen
Thirteen, 2003
Drama from the series "good girl gone bad". Passed imperceptibly for Russia, "Thirteen" raised the classic theme for Hollywood long before Otvyazny Vacations. In the unaccustomed role of a rebellious pupil - Evan Rachel Wood, for whom the film was a real breakthrough, despite the failure of the film at the box office. Piercing, low-rise flared jeans, short tops, strands marked with gel, many bracelets, knitted mitts, blue-black eyeliner - elements of the era here in all its glory. Defiantly sexy clothes - another sign of the time, which is shown without a discount on the age of heroines.
Super Peppers
Superbad, 2007
Released in our hire under the strangest name "Super Peppers", the film is dedicated primarily to the boyish friendship. At the same time, the costumes of minor female characters say that there are zero courtyards. Plastic jewelry, tight shirts and jackets, bags with a short handle on the shoulder and, of course, slanting bangs that did not pass anyone, including Emma Stone. Watch the witty movie is worth at least because of the starry composition and the brilliant way out of the character of Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who later spread to memes.
Cool Georgia
Georgia Rule, 2007
"Cool Georgia" was the beginning of the end of the film career Lindsay Lohan. Hiding under the cover of a typical comedy about a spoiled maid, the film turns into a sad denouement in the course of the action. Sent to her grandmother for a “fix” in a provincial town in Idaho, the main character immediately draws attention to herself - also thanks to her appearance. A classic shirt tied under the bosom, “aviators” glasses, a tan with an orange undertone, flirting with a seemingly relaxed boho style (but the way it was seen only at zero) - everything is there. We advise you to look at least for the sake of character Lohan.
Become successful
Bring It On, 2000
One of the most popular stories about teenagers in null revolves around a team of cheerleaders. The comedy "Bring Success" found such a response from the public that the film subsequently received a sequel in three parts. If the movie about the achievement of the notorious American dream does not cause you anything but yawn, pay attention to at least the first part with Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku in the lead roles - both class and interracial problems are not stupidly shown here.
Most of the time, for obvious reasons, the heroines wear a cheerleading uniform, which has not changed much since 2000. But everything that happens behind the sports ground deserves attention, especially the unusual hairstyle of the gymnast (played by Dushka), who has despised mainstream sports and strained smiles from the very beginning.
Jeans Mascot
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, 2005
"Jeans mascot" with the young Blake Lively in the title role, too, once acquired a devoted fanbase of teenage girls. The secret, of course, in a variety of types. Four different heroines not only talked, but also dressed differently - only the same pair of “magic” jeans that went to each of them remained unchanged. The film proves once again that even a standard set consisting of a T-shirt and jeans can look original in both 2005 and 2017. Despite the great return to the style of zero, this flared model, however, many still cause painful flashbacks.
