How to wear straw hats: 9 cult images from movies
Woven bags and accessories of straw again on the crest of a wave: hats, muly-braids and raffia bags flash on the streets of the city (and beyond), in summer lookbooks and, of course, on store shelves. In order not to fall into a stupor, choosing between a boater, a wide-brimmed hat, as in Jacmus' instagram and a color raffia panama, we advise you to recall the filmography of the main summer headgear.
The black and white film version in the 60s caused a wave of condemnation and scandals (the film immediately received a rating of C ("forbidden") thanks to the Society of Virtuous Catholics), and also forced girls around the world to buy sunglasses, hearts and wide-brimmed hats like Lolita . Due to the rapid development of industry, which came just in the middle of the last century, this decade remains one of the most quoted today, and the free interpretation of the image of Lolita can be found in the spring-summer collections of many brands.
Violent Games today would be called a viral film: Romance - the screen version of the novel by Shoderlo de Laclos brought deafening success to young actors Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe (who managed to get married after the shooting) and spawned several sequels.
The intricate story of the French writer, reduced in the film to several intertwining plot lines, reflects the style of adolescents on the threshold of zero. Square jackets with hypertrophied shoulders, combination dresses, microscopic glasses and black turtlenecks with simple jeans - we see all this on the catwalks today. The straw hat on the heroine of Sarah Michelle Gellar is a part of the image, which almost caricaturely emphasizes her belonging to the highest social class.
The works of Jane Austen can rightly be considered the most ekraniziruemyh: the web there with a dozen movies and TV series based on the novel "Pride and Prejudice" (including Indian musical and the parody horror film "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies").
The most famous of the screen versions of the film - the Joe Wright movie with Keira Knightley in the lead role - earned the viewers love of the audience for being very close to the original and received five Oscars. Including design costumes. They were engaged in the British Durran Jacqueline, on whose account the style in the films "Eyes Wide Shut", "Anna Karenina", "Macbeth" and "Beauty and the Beast."
The historical drama of Sofia Coppola with an enviable constancy is in the selection of films with the most beautiful costumes - not without reason, the costume designer of Marie Antoinette, Milena Kanoner, won her third Oscar for him.
Fluffy dresses and hats with feathers rhyme with Converse sneakers, and luxurious interiors of royal chambers - with the track The Strokes "What Ever Happened". The mixture of epochs and styles is the outward expression of the contradictory character and welter in the life of the main character, but even the pastel shades of decoration and dresses do not soften the feeling of the last frames of the film.
Brigitte Bardot had straw accessories and in life: photographers regularly caught the actress in wide-brimmed hats and neat cantée on vacation and social events. Not without a light headdress in the frame: in the drama of Louis Malle Bardo changes the straw panama into a flower for a "cowboy" hat with narrow margins. The first actress wears with glasses, "cats" and a snow-white sundress with buttons, the second with a simple black sweater and wide arrows. Just like in the chronicle of your favorite fashion bloggers on instagram today.
A classic comedy of positions in a modern way: the saleswoman from the book Joanna (Audrey Hepburn), by chance, becomes the face of a fashion magazine, although her real goal is to get to Paris for a lecture by her idol, Professor Floster.
As in most of his films, in "Funny Face" Audrey Hepburn appears in the costumes of Hubert de Givenchy. The actress wore laconic things of the fashion house both in life and on stage, considering that they best set off her appearance. In the future, cooperation will grow into a true friendship with the designer, and Audrey Hepburn will devote his first fragrance to L'Interdit Givenchy.
In the film, young Vivian constantly changes her headgear - and her leather cap looks no less elegant on her than a black straw hat with a transparent field.
The transformation of the hero with the help of appearance - a favorite reception of directors and stylists on the set - in the case of Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman” seems even too frontal, but it perfectly shows the hypocritical attitude towards women in modern society (which is today, eighteen years ago). Only after being clothed in the appropriate uniform of a “respectable lady with Rodeo Drive”, Vivian receives a pass to the world of expensive shops and Sunday races on the hippodrome, and at the same time respect of others.
The screen version of the novel by Margaret Mitchell about the development of the strong spirit of the woman Scarlett O'Hara against the backdrop of the American Civil War was first shown in the Moscow Central House of Cinema in 1969. The self-made dress of the main character, who she sewed out of the curtains for the fateful meeting with Ratt Butler, caused a lively response in the hearts of Russian spectators: Soviet women were familiar with such tricks in an attempt to look modern.
Eight years after the last movie was released (it’s scary to think - the same-name series ended fourteen years ago), Carrie Bradshaw and her girlfriends outfits are not so clearly perceived. The worship of Manolo Blahnik sandals and the hunt for that very Birkin bag are rather puzzling, while Carrie’s ability to combine sports shorts with elegant tops seems more relevant than ever.
What exactly can not be taken away from the costumers of the soapy epic is the ability to work through the image of each heroine through the prism of her wardrobe. And if the columnist Carrie Bradshaw is an endless series of bright shoes and tops on thin straps, then Samantha Jones is a tight-fitting dress and tuxedo paired with flashy headdresses. Sam’s wide-brimmed hat is desperately reminiscent of hats in the spring-summer collection of Simon Port Jacquesus. No wonder the designer called the series La Bomba.
