I didn’t realize how much movies have influenced me until the past year. First I had Amelie’s hairdo. Then when Frida came out, I found myself buying big dangling earrings and peasant skirts and tops. I haven’t worn the skirts and tops yet because they are summery. But they will look a little funny with my Catherine Zeta-Jones haircut from Chicago. (Modified the one from Amelie.)
Deep down one of the things I want most is Lara’s fur hat from Doctor Zhivago. But in the South? Besides, I don’t wear much fur.
I can remember a time in the late fifties and early sixties when most of us girls looked liked clones of Audrey Hepburn – or at least we tried to. Short dark hair, big sunglasses, a white scarf tied in the front and again in the back, sleeveless dresses. I even heard Barbara Walters admit to it once.
Have any movies, characters or celebrities influenced your style through the years?
