Golightly, Cher, Bradshaw:
Big Names
In The Tube Make Their Way To Women's Closets....
Aside
from reading a good book or going to the salon, what do women do on a lazy Saturday?
They curl up in their beds, grab a bag of chips, and engross themselves in a
movie marathon. Women have always loved the movies. In fact, films have greatly
influenced our fashion style - how we pick our clothes, how we wear them, and
what pieces to buy. We easily fall in love with chic and sassy female
characters that by the end of the movie, we are pretty sure that very soon,
we'd be hitting the mall to find clothes and accessories that would help us
channel the classy female that we saw on the tube.
Holly
Golightly and her Little Black Dress, "Breakfast At Tiffany's"
The
little black dress has become a staple piece in every woman's closet. You
cannot be a real fashionista if you do not own at least one. The dress was
popularized by fashion highness, Audrey Hepburn. The actress may have done a
wide range of films but it was her character as Holly Golightly on "Breakfast
at Tifanny's" that made her a huge hit among women. She wore the little black
dress with lace gloves, pearl accessories, and a cute pair of pumps. Holly kept
her daily fashion ensemble simple but chic and very classy at the same time.
Today, ladies wear the black dress to both formal and casual events. It is a
versatile fashion piece that goes with different kinds of moods and styles.
Cher,
and her love for anything pastel and fluffy, "Clueless"
If
you are a woman and you were born in the late 80's or 90's, it would be
impossible for you to not know Cher Horowitz. Cher, portrayed by Alicia
Silverstone, was high school's "it" girl. She had everything a girl could ever
wish for - a well-off family, the hottest group in school, pretty face, and a
huge closet! Cute tops, designer brands, expensive shoes, gazillion accessories
- everyone would die to have her fashion haven. She even uses a computerized
wardrobe locator to scour for clothes that she would wear for the day. The
"Cher phenomenon" had girls sporting short plaid skirts, pink tops, and fluffy
scarves.
Carrie
Bradshaw and her New York glam, "Sex And The City"
Sarah
Jessica Parker's portrayal of a socialite New Yorker put her on the covers of
the world's sought-after fashion magazines. Carrie Bradshaw gets away with
anything! Women will all go crazy not just for her closet but for her street
wit as well. When Sex And The City became a hit, Manolo Blahnik became a big
name among female shoppers as well.
We
can't deny how these three lovely ladies have influenced women in how they
perceive fashion today. Who has influenced yours?
