10. HYPERLINK "http://www.mrqe.com/movie_reviews/goodfellas-m100037337"

Goodfellas (1990) /The Godfather(1972)

From the cufflinks to the silk ties, high-class gangsters always seem to have the best style. Martin Scorseses 1990 classic film Goodfellas embodies true Mob fashion. Ray Liottas characters Henry Hill is based off a true American mobster and Lucchese crime family member who turned FBI informant and later entered the Witness Protection Program. In this cinematic classic, Henrys mother sees Henry walking into their home with, as the script calls for, grey lizard shoes, grey pinstriped trousers, grey silk shirt, Billy Ecksteon collar, yellow silk tie, and double-breasted jacket, and although Henry is beaming, she proclaims My God! You look like a gangster! This scene is the epitome of gangster dressslick, chic, and yet far too tacky. The Godfather can also compete in this category. The way these men dress in this film is the definition of an Italian mobster. These men are smooth talking, smooth dressing, and smooth to pull out their gun. They intimidate others through how they act and dress. Every man wants to be like them and everyone woman wants to be with them.

9. Anna Wintour will disagree with this next selection due to its honest depiction of her devilish ways. Yet, The Devil Wears Prada, which is based off of Lauren Weisbergers 2003 novel, renders what the true New York City editorial world is like. Anne Hathaway stars as Andy Sachs, the once-frumpy writer who desires to write for a big-name publishing house, paper, or magazine. Sachs, eventually takes on an assistant role for a power fashion magazine editor, leading her to become basically a fashion Barbieshe loses weight, finds her fashion sense, and burns almost every friend she ever had just to make it in the fashion world. Aside from the bitchy undertone, the fashions in this film are incredible. Patricia Field, the Sex and the City costume designer was asked to present this film. She used a $1 million fashion budgetone-tenth of what she was given for Sex and the Cityyet still made this film one of the most expensive fashion productions in cinematic history, scoring every designer from Prada to Chanel to Calvin Klein. With a $35 million budget, and a box office gross revenue of over $326 million, this film was not only wildly success for rendering fashion; it was a fabulous cinematic production as well.

8. Zoolander (2001)Ben Stillers role in the 2001 film Zoolander was both hilarious and quite fashion-forward. Derek Zoolander, played by Stiller, is one of the worlds top male supermodels, though; he is in deep competition with Owen Wilsons modeling character, Hansel. Famous for his poses from Blue Steel to Le Tigre, Zoolanders fashions throughout the film are quite eccentric, modish, and distinctive. There are also over 40 cameos of famed fashion designers from Tom Ford to Victoria Beckham to Karl Lagerfeld.

7. Oh, Cher! As a girl growing up in the 1990s, I personally have to save this as one of the most defining fashionable films I have ever seen. Every girl at my age at some point wanted to be one of the girls in this 1995 flick. Played by Alicia Silverstone, spoiled Valley girl Cherwith her bags that match her nails, to her miniskirts and downright I-know-what-fashion-is-so-get-out-of-my-way personais more of a fashion staple than a role model. This girl had it all and got everything that she wanted. She knew how to dress, talk, walk, and act, and was a true fashion inspiration for any girl growing up in the mid-1990s. Clueless truly has gone down as the icon of 1990s cinematic fashion.

6. The Seven Year Itch (1955)

But how can Cher compete with Marilyn Monroes character in 1955s The Seven Year Itch? Whether you have, or have not seen this film, everyone knows the classic scene of Monroe standing on a subway grate, holding her haltered white dress down, as a subway passes, blowing her dress over her knees. Indeed, this scene was far too scandalous for its time; and the same can be said of Monroe. She not only was a sex icon, she was a confident, fashion forward woman both in this film, and in life. The screen-shot taken from this film has become one of the most famed images from a film to ever be taken.

5. Annie Hall (1977)

(Diane Keaton/ Kate Moss)

Considered by Roger Ebert to be just about everyones favorite Woody Allen movie, Annie Hall is not only a fabulous film, but also one that defined fashion in the mid-to-late 70s. Diane Keatons Annie Hall inspired a more masculine dress; womans trousers were introduced, as were over sized blazers, and billowing blouses and boots. It was a unique adaption of mens and womens styles. Believe it or not, Keaton actually personally dressed herself for this role, using her own clothes! She did not need a fashion budget because she was certain enough that her Ralph Lauren inspired style was perfect for the character; oh, and was she right.

4. Pretty in Pink Caring on into the next decade, Pretty in Pink is a film that breaks into true 1980s fashion. From Jon Cryers hat to Molly Ringwalds pink prom dress, every moment of this film reeks of 80s fashion. There is that taste of tucked-in fashion, with the mens blazers and tight khakis, as well as womans conservative, yet seductive kneed dresses and crop-cut hair. Pretty in Pink produced the same reaction for 80s babies as Clueless did in the 90s, and Annie Hall in the 70severyone wanted to be like the characters of this film.

3. Saturday Night Fever (1977)

When you think of 70s disco, youre surely to think of Saturday Night Fever, and John Travoltas famous white suit. The film follows Travoltas sleek moves as a Brooklyn boy looking for a way out to blow off some steam. Sure, this New York City discotheque-inspired film seems corny now, but it was a cult classic in its time. Travoltas style in this film is characterized by both the Italian-American inspiration, as well as that trendy, underground night-life style. Travolta finds the cool center between these two paradoxes and plays the role of a dance floor king exceptionally well.

2. Sex and the City (2008)

With a $10 million fashion budget alone, the first Sex and the City film was the icing on the Sex and the City crowned cake. After six television seasons and 94 episodes on HBO, executive producer Michael Patrick King, thought it was time to produce a final film (too bad it wasnt so final). With over 300 outfits between the four women in only 145 minutes of tape, executive fashion director Patricia Field rose to fame through her definition of how the modern New York woman dressed. This film has been praised by fashion critics for its glamorous storytelling of what New York women are truly like.

1.Breakfast at Tiffanys (1961)

Audrey Hepburn is a role model for any fashion-forward thinker. From her sleek black jeans, to her tight black, pearled dress, Hepburns performance in Breakfast at Tiffanys puts her at the top of this list as a fashion icon. This filmand Audrey Hepburn, herselfdefined elegance in the early 1960s. It is astonishing that 50 years later, Breakfast at Tiffanys is still seen as a staple in the fashion world. Every woman who watches this film wants to embody a similar elegance to what Hepburn exudes.

n.a. : Toate hainele purtate de Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys sunt creatii ale lui Hubert de Givenchy.

Marele ecran a fost ntotdeauna un miraj pentru muritorii de rnd, care s-au visat trind aceleai poveti de dragoste sau aceleai aventuri pline de adrenalin. Visul mai la ndemn a rmas, totui, de-a lungul anilor, acela de a recrea lookul personajelor ndrgite. De exemplu, acum, la mod, printre britanicii care urmresc Sherlock, noul serial BBC, sunt hainele croite la comand, la fel ca ale celebrului detectiv ic. Editorii revistei Marie Claire au fcut un top al filmelor care au influenat cel mai mult moda, de la apariia cinematografiei.

Prima este rochia din draperii a lui Scarlett OHara (Vivien Leigh) din Pe aripile vntului (1939), care arat ct se poate de ic. n 1940, Katharine Hepburn a demonstrat c pantalonii sunt o pies vestimentar foarte stilat, potrivit pentru orice femeie. Prin personajul Tracy Lord din Philadelphia Story, Hepburn a adus pantalonii n mod, iar Ingrid Bergman a combinat moda pentru femei cu cea pentu brbai n 1942. Personajul lui Bergman Ilsa Lund din Casablanca purta bluze i fuste croite n stil masculin, cu cteva accente feminine, discrete.

Strlucirea rochiilor somptuoase din mtsuri i voaluri a revenit la mod n 1955 cnd Grace Kelly a jucat n filmul To Catch a Thief regizat de Alfred Hitchcock un personaj fermector. n acelai an, Marilyn Monroe aprea n The Seven Year Itch, iar rochia sa alb ridicat ntmpltor de vnt a devenit una dintre cele mai cunoscute imagini din toate timpurile. O alt imagine celebr a rmas ntiprit n istoria cinematografiei din 1961 cnd Audrey Hepburn a luat Micul dejun la Tiffany Breakfast at Tiffanys. Dei rochia simpl neagr era deja ea nsi o celebritate n vestimentaie, personajul Holly Golightly a fcut din rochia neagr o piatr de temelie a modei pentru totdeauna.

Bikinii i-au ajuns Ursulei Andress pentru a face din Honey Ryder un personaj memorabil n filmul Dr. No (1962), n care James Bond a fost Sean Connery. Stilul Ursulei costum de baie simplu, bine croit i accesorizat cu o curea lat a devenit o emblem pentru toate fetele Bond.

n 1963 femeile i doreau s poarte rochii lungi, croite lejer i cu imprimeuri egiptene. Motivul? Elizabeth Taylor o jucase pe Cleopatra purtnd inute uimitoare. Atenia s-a ndreptat de la inute spre accesorii n 1967, cnd Faye Dunaway a jucat-o pe Bonnie Parker din Bonnie i Clyde, aruncnd priviri misterioase de sub o beret.

Love Story din 1970 a fost un omagiu pentru stilul vestimentar boem i colresc. Ali MacGraw n rolul lui Jennifer Cavalleri a inspirat cu hainele ei moda pentru toat decada anilor 70.

Detaliile conteaz, s-a gndit Barbara Streisand i astfel a reuit s stabileasc definiia pentru manichiura perfect. n 1973 aprea pe ecrane Katie Morosky din The Way We Were, iar de atunci unghiile ei foarte lungi, foarte roii i perfect ngrijite au rmas un etalon al feminitii.

La polul opus, se afl icul haotic al neamurilor lui Jackie Kennedy. Documentarul Grey Gardens, filmat n 1975 pe proprietatea prginit i plin de ratoni i pisici a lui Little Edie i Big Edie Bouvier Beale, a fcut din excentricitate o mod aparte. Little Edie este n continuare o surs de inspiraie prin combinaiile de costume de baie, blnuri i earfe purtate pe cap. n 2009, regizorul Michael Sucsy a fcut filmul Grey Gardens n care Drew Barrymore e Little Edie, iar Jessica Lange e Big Edie. n rolul verioarei lui Jackie Kennedy, Drew Barrymore apare purtnd cele mai neateptate combinaii de haine, cum ar fi bluzele prinse pe cap cu broe mari, preioase, artnd incredibil de ic.

Dup ce Katharine Hepburn a iniiat moda androgin, a venit rndul lui Diane Keaton s joace un rol n mod. Ea a dus pantalonii la dung, vestele i cravatele la un alt nivel de elegan, cu rolul din filmul Annie Hall, regizat de Woody Allen n 1977.

Olivia Newton-John a adus pe marile ecrane stilul eclectic. Cu rolul Kira din Xanadu, ea a devenit n 1980 muz pentru moda viitorului. Materialele, imprimeurile sau croielile care preau imposibil de purtat n aceeai inut au luat forma unui stil de sine stttor, fabulos i strlucitor. Tot mod pentru viitor a purtat i Daryl Hannah ca Pris n filmul Blade Runner din 1982. Stilul ei pare a fi un fel de Lady Gaga timpurie, cu ansamble vestimentare futuristice, avangardiste, punk rock i, aparent, imposibil de purtat.

Vestimentaie de div disco rochie paietate, bretele ca spaghetele, materiale strlucitoare i croieli pe corp asta a adus n prim-plan Michelle Pfeiffer cu rolul Elvira Hancock din Scarface (1983). Personajul e tragic, dar inutele sunt ct se poate de efervescente.

Actria Jennifer Beals a fost i sudor i dansatoare exotic n rolul Axel Owens din filmul Flashdance, aprut n 1983. Combinaia inedit a protagonistei avea scopul de a-i da bani pentru colarizare, ns eforturile ei n-au trecut neobservate nici n lumea modei, unde se spune c stilul lui Axel Owens a inspirat liniile de haine ale companiei American Apparel.

Madonna ca trendsetter, nu pare ceva neobinuit acum. ns prima dat cnd diva pop a zguduit lumea modei a fost n 1985, cnd a purtat lanuri i medalioane suprapuse, dantel i funde mari de pr n rolul Susan din Desperately Seeking Susan.

Rocatele pot purta roz din 1986, cnd Molly Ringwald a jucat n Pretty in Pink. Actria a avut rolul lui Andie Walsh, care, ca tnr creatoare de mod, i-a permis s poarte ce vrea i s arate bine.

Cnd a nceput moda adolescentelor mbrcate n negru, cu dantele, dermatograf i coafuri sofisticate? n 1988, dup ce Winona Ryder a fost prima gothic-chic, cnd a jucat personajul Lydia Deetz n filmul Beetle Juice.

Ce i-a trebuit lui Uma Thurman s rmn o legend a modei de pe marile ecrane? O tunsoare bob, schiat din linii drepte i o cma alb, simpl. Stilul personajului Mia Wallace din Pulp Fiction (1994) a fost un exerciiu vestimentar minimalist.

Filmul Clueless le-a fcut pe adolescentele din ntreaga lume s tnjeasc dup o garderob super-tehnologizat, aa cum avea Cher Horowitz. Personajul Aliciei Silverstone este o adolescent obsedat de mod, un prototip de shopahoolic.

n 2003 moda marelui ecran a fascinat cu un paradox: Lucy Liu ntr-un super kimona alb, lung, strmt i cu mneci ca aripile de fluture se lupt innd n fiecare mn cte o sabie. Imaginea a fost scornit de regizorul Quentin Tarantino n primul dintre filmele Kill Bill.

E limpede c filmul Marie Antoinette din 2006 e regizat de o femeie! Sofia Copola a creat un film rmas n memoria privitorilor n special pentru toaletele purtate de Kristen Dunst n rolul regine Marie Antoinette. Milena Canonero, cea care a creat costumele din acest film, a fost rspltit cu un Oscar.

Coco Chanel e una dintre legendele modei, ns prin creaiile ei purtate de alii. Audrey Tautou a jucat-o pe inventiva creatoare de mod aa cum era ea n perioada n care experimenta cioprind cmi brbteti i schimbnd radical moda plriilor femeieti prin accesoriile simple i sobre. Coco Before Chanel e filmul n care Audrey Tautou strlucete n costume de legend i iraguri de perle
