I want to start featuring films that I find stylistically appealing/inspiring. Funny Face (1957) is a musical that I find inspiring and pleasantly enjoyable to watch. Of course this is no surprise since the plot is centered around a major fashion magazine. I don’t want to do a whole plot summary since this is a well known classic film. So, here are some of my favorite looks.
One of the opening numbers is “Think Pink” where Maggie Prescott, the editor of Quality magazine, decides to tell all women everywhere that pink is the new “in” color they should all be wearing. My favorite thing about it is that while she is telling everyone else to wear pink she clearly wont wear any pink herself. She is a woman who cannot be swayed by trends, even ones that she creates! Apparently this character is partially based on legendary editor Diana Vreeland who is one of my personal style heroes.
This look is from one of the shoots they work on while in Paris. The last three are all from the fashion show that Jo does for a famous European designer while in Paris.
