Style Icons: What to Gain from the Multi-Hero Wardrobe
text: Natalya Kurazhitsa
It happened: on the cover of the April ELLE UK, another protégé of an influential husband appeared - the cousin of the frog Kermit, the star of the Muppets show, Miss Piggy. The heroine was removed in a dress Donna Karan, and, apparently, the pig feels more than comfortable as a fashion icon. The tendency to infantilism is gaining momentum, and we propose to recall a few more heroines who could get on the cover of the magazine and are peremptory style icons from childhood. So: working overalls, round glasses, spotted fur coat and other ironic things and their counterparts from online stores.
Foxy love
"Multreality"
The musical career of this "fox" did not work, so she devoted herself entirely to love (the latter is rather disorderly in nature, you can guess from just one girl along). Of course, we do not recommend wearing micro shorts with lace strings out. With Foxy it’s worth taking an example in another: she always wears a crochet top, the relevance of which is difficult to challenge. Almost identical model was found in the collection of the British giant Topshop. Outrageously short shorts, exactly like Foxy’s, are available on the American Apparel website and are simply created to go to music festivals this summer. True, this pair has a high waist, which is only a plus for it - what kind of underwear you wear, let it remain a secret. If you decide to bring the image of Foxy to the end, look for a suitable headpiece in the Eugenia Kim collection. The designer positions this hat with ears like a rabbit, but, in our opinion, this is a fantasy business.
Gadget
"Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers"
Two chipmunks are in love with a radiant mouse at once. Chip and Dale did not accidentally choose the same sweetheart: Gadget is smart, good and she has a cool figure. Jumpsuit is much more comfortable thing than a dress or mini skirt, especially if you are a flirtatious mechanic. The spring collections are full of variations on the theme, but the Kenzo instance is most reminiscent of the working uniform of girlfriend Chip and Dale. To emphasize the waist, to the overalls need a belt - even Gadget knew. We found a suitable in the ASOS. Goggle glasses should be worn only at home, and only if your boyfriend has long seen Gadget in his fantasies, otherwise they can be replaced with round-rimmed sunglasses - these are on the JADES24 website. We are sure that if Gadget suspected such, she would have long since replaced them with her learned Goggles.
Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane
"Daria"
Daria and her friend Jane dress as typical representatives of teenage subcultures. Despite the stylistic contradictions, the botanist and the goth perfectly find a common language. Black pleated skirt is useful in every wardrobe, and sociopathy Daria wore this item from the arsenal of school uniform with pleasure. We found the perfect interpretation from Alexander McQueen. Shoe brand in the animated series is not specified, but we are sure that Daria and Jane were wearing Dr. Martens. Rough tractor boots with a lacing unite a variety of people: punks, ready, football fans, rock stars and ordinary London dandies. Boots will look much cooler when they lose their presentation and former shine, so you have to wear them without taking off. To look like a rebellious teenager, you don’t have to pierce your ears around the entire circumference - the cuff earrings look impressive and are fixed without any holes at all. We do not recommend wearing horn-rimmed glasses without diopters, but if this is a matter of vision, take the example of Darya. Round glasses of the German brand MYKITA - an exact copy of those that she wore.
Cruella de Ville
"101 Dalmatians"
A brutal and selfish woman loves to wear furs, jewels and smoke through a mouthpiece; the image of this villain is hard to imagine without a spotty or at least just black and white fur coat. In winter, such models can be found in almost every mass market, but in the spring you will have to search, but now you can buy a faux fur coat at an attractive price. There is one interesting specimen in the ASOS (in a similar, by the way, Iggy Azalea was pacing on Halloween). Jewelry is simpler: French jewelry brand Akillis has released earrings and rings in honor of the Disney antagonist. In the cartoon, Cruella wore jewelry with an unknown turquoise stone, but Akillis offers a choice of tanzanite, aquamarine and morganite.
Princess
"In the footsteps of the Bremen musicians"
Probably the sexiest heroine of the Soviet animation. The cartoon musical "Following the tracks of the musicians of Bremen" was shot forty years ago, and all of its characters personify the fashion of the 60s and 70s. The princess looks like a hippie and rotates among troubadours and musicians. Of course, instead of the crown she has a wreath - we found a similar one on the site of the British online store Miss Selfridge, which is part of the giant Selfridges. It is appropriate to wear a wreath where it was always worn - at summer music festivals, paired with a crop top and shorts, but the combination of a wreath and a midi-skirt in colors should be avoided. Another thing that has not disappeared from wardrobes since Twiggy's time is an orange mini dress with three-quarter sleeves. Such a dress, as in the swing of the beauty of the 60s, can be found in Topshop (the brand also has a one-piece fitting version).
Daphne Blake and Velma
"Scooby-Doo"
The animated series was launched almost simultaneously with the "Bremen Town Musicians", so the characters are also all in the fashion of the 60s. So, red-haired Daphne prefers clothes of exclusively violet colors - and Sarah Michelle Gellar in the Scooby-Doo feature film is dressed to match: a colored fur coat, costume, glasses with a cat-shaped rim, high lacquered boots. In the cartoon, three main details are remembered: a purple mini-dress, as it is from Topshop, a lemon scarf and fashionable in the 60s heels with kitten heels (Oscar de la Renta has similar ones). True, such a scarf is better to wear separately from kitten heels, so as not to look old-fashioned. Of course, one cannot ignore the style of another heroine of the cartoon - the know-all of Velma. It is difficult to underestimate its influence on the consciousness of young people: sweater, knee-highs, sandals and thick-rimmed glasses - it seems Velma was the first to wear everything at once.
Sailor Moon
"Sailor Moon"
Frivolous Bunny captivates with his gullibility and altruism - a warrior in a sailor suit tries to save all you can. She goes to work in a rather erotic sailor's suit: instead of a vest, which probably has every wardrobe, Bunny wore a uniform jersey of a sailor with a turn-down collar. A similar model a few seasons ago released Vivienne Westwood, now it can be purchased at a sale here. A playful red bow on the chest was a typical detail of the warrior's style in a sailor suit, we found something similar here (although Edie Sliman himself suggests wearing it right around his neck as a bow tie). Wearing bright red boots in the city in the afternoon is not a good idea, but this pair of Christian Louboutin can come in handy when you ruthlessly want to dress up for Halloween.
Jessica Rabbit
"Who Framed Roger Rabbit"
Laying in waves, a dress in sequins, killer heels - the image of Jessica Rabbit is regularly embodied by Russian girls at parties in Barvikha Luxury Village. Christina Hendrix can be called her noble analogue in life - and we will be guided by her. Each girl secretly wants to buy a red dress in sparkling sequins, and, as it seems to us, you should not deny yourself this. The only condition - to wear a dress on the appropriate occasion (Fridays in the office, even if after work to break into the club, is not enough). A large selection of gold earrings like Jessica has on vintage laps in Europe and in the virtual store click-boutique.ru. We especially liked the round clips in the form of flowers that can be worn at least every day. Garter stockings are a deadly weapon and should be hidden for a rainy day. Jessica wore a laconic model without lace, with a simple black elastic band - Agent Provocateur designers offer the same pair, and you can buy it on aizel.ru.
