We fashion our wardrobes after films

In case you haven't noticed, there is quite a hullabaloo surrounding the movie Marie Antoinette, and it seems that the fashion world has taken to it as well. Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette appeared on the most recent Vogue magazine, and elements of the style have showed up on the runways, from high hair (oh, how I am hating my wispy fine stick straight hair that doesn' do anything but hang there) to puffy skirts to brocade fabrics. But it's not just Marie Antoinette this year. Film has definitely affected the fashion world (and vice versa, I suppose) through the decades, and Forbes has put together a short list of some of the more influential films.
- Funny Face - Audrey Hepburn in "the infamous black turtleneck and skinny pants" that is now the highlight of a Gap campaign
- The Birds - "the quintessential Hitchcockian look"
- Belle Du Jour - "pilgrim" flats
- Bonnie & Clyde - shoulder length bob, pencil skirts and berets
- Annie Hall - "oversized, exaggerated menswear alongside earth-toned, patchwork smocks. It's messy, incoherent and ... altogether genius."
- Out Of Africa - white linens, safari jackets and all things khaki
- Working Girl - the Power Suit
- Singles - the definitive grunge look: floral dresses topped with lumberjack flannels and paired with combat boots
- Almost Famous - hippie chic -- with shearling coats, floppy hats and Frye boots.Secretary
- Secretary - "the sexy librarian"
- Stepford Wives - prim and proper '50s look
