Tell me which item trend FW23 you prefer and I will tell you which movie to watch The first couple: Mary Jane shoes and the cult "Clueless"
Fashion and cinema have always been intertwined. They influence each other, in a constant play of references and inspirations. But was the chicken or the egg born first? Is it fashion that gives costume designers ideas on how to dress characters to better tell a story, or is it the films that suggest silhouettes, cuts, colours and styling to designers that we then see on the catwalk? Maybe both assumptions are correct. We played around a bit and selected some of the trendy garments of the FW23 season, from Miu Miu briefs to Mary Janes, from maxi belts to colourful tights, and paired them with a film. Following the motto "Tell me which FW23 trend piece you like best and I'll tell you which movie to watch", we've put together a little list of cult films with an autumnal vibe, perfect for a marathon in front of the screen, but also to find out how to wear the latest trends.
Mary Jane - "Clueless"
The most daring look of the season? No pants. Miu Miu redrew the contours of the ugly-chic silhouette by teaching us that knit underwear is worn over tights, with a jumper over it, a pair of loafers on your feet, a handbag on your arm and nothing else. Before Miuccia Prada, Edie Sedgwick pioneered this kind of outfit, both in everyday life and in films like Ciao! Manhattan. The film, written and directed by John Palmer and David Weisman, is a semi-biographical portrayal of Sedgwick (who here plays her alter ego Susan Superstar), using audio diaries and archive footage from the It girl's time at Andy Warhol's Factory combined with excerpts from the original screenplay. In a mix of fiction and documentary, Sedgwick's glory days in the late 1960s are shown until her inevitable decline and the addiction that took her life just weeks after filming ended in 1971.
