Good'ole Vogue Magazine.

As i was flicking through my religiously-bought Vogue magazine, i came across these photos. As the lady-like trend is the hot-spot right now, 1950's-inspired designers are splatted all over the pages. Prada and Louis Vuitton have mainly sported this trend in these two seasons, adding frills, lace and bows to the most well-made and wanted dresses on the catwalk right now. The glasses these models are wearing are obviously inspired by the 1950's which are embedded with real gems but fake lenses. Obviously these glasses wont be sold in Specsavers any time soon and are not for everyone, bu having some black ones in my OTS will make that lucky character stand-out from the crowd and could help that character look completely different from the other femme fatales. I need to get my hands on a pair!

There is also another important thing that i saw on these frocks which i need to keep in mind when dressing my actress: The dress are either on the knee or below it - for my OTS i will stick to this rule, but to make my actress look sexy and sophisticated i will definitely have to create curves. These outfits that the designers have put together are very 1950's but it resembles the sweet and conservative 1950's, and not the sexy, mysterious and seductive 1950's film noir women i want to portray. I do have to say though, if i had these outfits in black - absolutely perfect!

These photos above are photos that i also found in vogue and a few other glossy magazines. They are mainly from film reviews. They do show the wealth of the women, and the independence they have. Their poses and expressions help this. I especially like the black netting going over one models face with her wearing dark eyeliner and red lips - very sophisticated and classic.
