some fashion minutiae
I'm like a one note Johnny about the Audrey Hepburn sewing pattern collection but could someone out there in cyberspace create the series? I guess there are copyright hurdles to cross. It would be cool to be able to make the exact outfits she wore in her films:
The fitted Sabrina "Back from France" wool suit or the fitted Sabrina jumper
The pink Breakfast at Tiffany's cocktail dress
Then there is the cute tailored number from her movie Paris When It Sizzles.
Why stop there?! Mia Farrow's dresses in Rosemary's Baby, Faye Dunaway's outfits in Bonnie and Clyde, Anna Karina's film wardrobe and on and on and so on. Do send me free patterns.
Not many men look as good in their pants as Dick Van Dyke did in his while starring in his show. So much attention is placed on how women look in clothing but not many men can look great in a pair of slacks (teehee) or even jeans. They often wear ill fitting pants. Attention should be placed on men and their pants, it's been ignored for forty or so years. Isn't there a way to make men look good in pants without a tailor? Whatever. It can be done. It was awesome when men wore hats, sweaters, cuff links, ties, nice shoes and looked great in pants. It would be cool if the DVD look came back, teehee. I'm not talking that business class look that is so generic and boring and not at all stylish and often not even a clean look these days. Many guys have ill fitting suits:pants need to be hemmed an inch, sides of jackets taken in, shoulders taken in. I'm talking that cool Italian 60's look, with a nice tapered, tailored silhouette and sharkskin. Stop with the blue, chambray shirt and khaki chinos. Ick! Mix it up a little.
PERSONAL INS
1. Tailored style wool dress suits for women, boxy cut, cropped tops, big belts and pencil skirts. Lots of detail in the tops. Not in grey, navy and black but in various shades of green.
2. Tailored looking Dick Van Dyke pants. Throw out the ill fitting pants!
3. Vintage repro, vintage originals
PERSONAL OUTS
1. Imported synthetic tops
Would be cool if tailors were all the rage and got really competitive with their prices so you could get cool outfits, custom made and all at a reasonable price. Would be cool to see tailors back in business. Would be cool to see tailor shops opening up all over the town instead of the same ole big box shit.
BTW, you can learn to make your own shoes.
