Bit of a late post here today everyone!

Today I’ve decided to do a Monsters, Inc inspired fashion post, I adore animated movies!

I know what I will be watching tonight!

I’ve created four different looks inspired by characters from Monster Inc, we have Randall, Boo, Mike and Roz.

Monsters, Inc. Inspired - Randall

I think Randall and Roz would have to be my favourites, two casual and sweet looks.

This week Amy has set us the challenge of putting outfit together inspired by Marie Antoinette (1996).

BEC

Marie Antoinette is not usually a sympathetic character from history and to be honest the “Let them eat cake” line used to be something I raged against because I am, and always have been left leaning politically. Plus I was at uni and stuff matters a lot more when you have to wake up every day by 1pm to go to classes, the beer is cheap and the books are free.

I loved this movie though, from the overly styled apparel that made the fashion world talk to the window into society directorial style of Sofia Coppola it was a delight to the senses. I empathized with Marie the teenager thrown into a situation beyond her scope to understand or to deal with effectively and genuinely felt for her, realising that no one has the perfect life even if they get to wear pretty dresses all day long.

So here is my take on fashion from a film that rather cleverly captivates and challenges us to think of history in a new way:

Now personally I’ve not seen Marie Antoinette but from my research I can tell you it’s a whole lot of lace, florals, pastels, volume, embellishments and gorgeous detail.

Here are two looks I’ve created which has been inspired by what I know.

This first set is definitely an evening creation with gorgeous floral dress, featuring a sweetheart neckline and a full skirt. A simple black heel, lace cuff and gold short chained necklace.

My second set is far more casual, perfect for a cool spring day 🙂

I hope you have enjoy our fashion inspired by the movies post today.

Happy hump day!

The film The Wizard of Oz was one of the first to be presented in Technicolor in 1939 it has subsequently become an icon. It was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture in 1939. It deservedly has a classic film status.

The fashions and costumes in the film have had a huge impact on our culture and even if you don’t follow fashion closely I am pretty sure you have probably come across Oz costumes at dress up parties and at Halloween.

Today’s challenge is for all of us to create a Dorothy inspired look and then to do the same for at least one other character in the film.

(The pictures come from the Astor Theatre Blog)

Dorothy

Glinda – The Good Witch of the North (or the South in the book)

The Wicked Witch of the West (she gets a bit of grief but ruby slippers are kind of awesome, I understand her longing)

Amy

I have to be honest here and say, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ terrified me as a small child. I remember watching it and choosing, very wisely, to crawl under my Mums blanket when she squished the witch under her house. I have seen it since, but it still gives me the heebie jeebies. Doesn’t mean I won’t respect a classic film though! It brought smiles and hope to many young children and inspired us to remember that sometimes the things that we believe will make us stronger are something we had all along… Although, I still can’t fly, not happy about that one… *sigh*

My set is inspired by Dorothy and her counterparts Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion who were all in the hunt for a heart, a brain and courage. Together they triumph their greatest fears and any outfit that can encourage that, is a good thing!!!

We're off to see the Wizard!

Let’s see if you can guess what outfit matches to who? (It’s should be pretty easy, I hope!)
