I have a habit of rewatching films rather than finding new ones which I’ve been breaking recently - and one of the perks of expanding my viewing horizons has been seeing cool clothes.
Some films I’ve enjoyed the clothes in recently:
* The Craft
* The Faculty
* Father of the Bride
* Office Space

movies are a great place to see thoughtful & focused outfits often built from eclectic pieces & influences . i think it can also be instructive & inspiring to see the ways that different clothes & silhouettes behave & present in motion .Â
there’s a few in particular that have left a strong impression on me (& on many others i’m sure) Rachel Fleming for Trainspotting , Kym Barrett for The Matrix , Jany Temime (w/ Tom Ford suiting) for Skyfall , Miyako Bellizzi for Good Time . following the costume designer & stylists working on these projects can also be a source of new silhouettes and unexpected pairings as they try out different things like Miyako Bellizzi’s iconic bts photos of Robert Pattinson & Oscar IsaacÂ
bits & pieces of these movies & outfits stay with me as i watch them over again & eventually little things find their way into my wardrobe in a form that works for my style & life . i’ve picked up a couple different versions of a brown bomber over the years like renton’s (but in a fit i would wear) , matrix type chanel sunglasses , the unprecious attitude towards suiting in skyfall , the oversized patchwork silhouettes in good time . it’s about finding the feeling rather than IDing the fit .Â

Whenever I see a leading man from a 70s movie or a 90s sitcom star getting a fit off, I immediately start searching the halls of Etsy and EBay for similar attire.

I like watching older movies and sort of figuring out a fit by doing a very casual cosplay / recreation. pulpy 70s sci fi is a bed of inspo for this. Logan’s run inspired me to buy green tights from the halloween section to pair w my more floaty tops/tunics. Biggest thing is to be a critic and then ask yourself why you like something or don’t, this helps not just w individual outfit info but developing / keeping true to your tastes.
Also watching the current runway shows on Youtube is a lovely way to experience high fashion, art, music, etc in one. A fun and worthwhile way to spend an afternoon for anyone even vaguely interested in or curious about fashion imo.
Look critically at the fits and what you like and why you like it, what’s successful, what colors or silhouettes are you gravitating towards, etc. Then revisit some old fashion shows too, old Mughler is so fun imo and the Alexander McQueens are campy vampy classics.
You really don’t need to look to anyone who is your peer or contemporary for fashion advice, look above and beyond and scale it down for your personal style / lifestyle.

took a spontaneous trip to see the new alien movie today
ive never been to see a horror movie alone at the cinema before so it felt all the more immersive for me, would recommend going to get scared alone even if you’re a scaredy-cat like me :)
