10 Iconic Fashion Moments in Films

Fashion is anything that fits and doesn’t itch. That’s my definition. I strongly advise you don’t apply it.
You will have a better luck in looking at the ten films below that made a huge impact in worldwide fashion trends that the styles it used remains to be an “in” thing to this day.
You may think these are common now but when it came out during that time, it was revolutionary and shook the fashion industry. It earned people millions upon millions of dollars and inadvertently changed the way people look at beauty.

10. Diane Keaton in Annie Hall

This was the breakthrough movie of Ralph Lauren. He was relatively unknown. He was just one of those budding designers until he dressed Robert Redford and Mia Farrow in The Great Gatsby and then in 1974, he made history by dressing Diane Keaton for Annie Hall. He put her in manly clothes all the while giving her an insurmountable amount of elegance and sex appeal that wasn’t even there when she is in her girlie clothes.
In case you were wondering where the boyfriend jacket and waistcoats came from, watch this movie.

9. Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan

Before this movie, bras where supposed to be hidden and women wen to considerable odds just to make sure no one sees it. Then Madonna came along and said “Fuck it! Here is my bra.” The world suddenly realized, showing some bra actually makes a woman sexy.
I still think the “no bra” is sexier but hey.

8. The Misters in Reservoir Dogs

Quentin Tarantino introduced himself to the world in this movie. He also, unknowingly made the fabulous black suits worn by the fast-talking, amoral gangsters a cultural trademark as well.
The suit has been worn by too many people in too many occasions but the basic black, skinny tie with white shirt and sunglasses worn by all the Mr. Colors suddenly became gangsta. He successfully transitioned the black suit from being an attire for the elite old boring millionaire to a staple for the ultra cool young people.

7. John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever (1977)

Disco was already in full swing when “Saturday Night Fever” was shown but there was something in the film that catapulted the movie into a mega-hit cultural icon movie, John Travolta in a blow-dried hair, tight, shiny polyester duds, platform shoes and that famous white suit.
It became the photo that captured that stinging sensation of late night drug-filled ultra cool partying.

6. Alicia Silverstone in Clueless

The tiny skirts, over-the knee socks and bared midriffs all were brought in the mainstream fashion by Alicia Silverstone’s movie Clueless. It may have been partially copied from Japan who is known for their obsession with mini skirts and knee-high socks.
Its influence is still being felt today. Whenever your look at those skirts over stockings ensemble, that was inspired by this movie.

5. Brigitte Bardot in And God Created Woman

The tight skirts and two piece swimwear was introduced by Brigitte in the movie, And God Created Woman. Soon, they became a trend with the masses and BB was taken greeted as trendsetter in the fashion world.
Through the years, the two piece has become smaller and smaller but one this is for sure, had it not been for Brigitte, no one else would have dared. Guys, pay your respects.

4. Marlon Brando in The Wild One

It became the perfect picture of rebellion.
1954′s “The Wild One,” in which a soulful Marlon Brando invades a small town with his biker gang was so potentially dangerous that the British board of censors banned the film for 14 years. Yes, they stopped the film but they couldn’t stop Brando’s iconic look of cuffed jeans, leather cap and that tuff black motorcycle jacket to crawl through the streets. Along with it is the adaptation of society’s devil may care attitude.

3. Cinderella in Cinderella

I used to think that no matter how tough a woman is, she would still want to feel like Cinderella even for just a day and the photo of Cinderellas powder blue gown with a sparkling white gloves and glass heels would probably paint everyone a picture why.
She’s so elegant, so beautiful, so… Cinderella.

2. Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch

So the air blew her skirt up and showed her undies while she bends her legs a little, stick her knees together and smile ever so graciously.
To this day, the white halter dress is the ultimate sexy dress.

1. Breakfast in Tiffany s

Expectedly, if there is anyone who can top the Marilyn Monroe white dress, it is the the little black dress of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast In Tiffany’s.
It was the picture perfect elegance of the super skinny Audrey with a tiara walking down the the street with coffee in her gloved hand that made every girl feel it is possible to be elegant even when you’re not.

Impossible Wine Glass

Impossible Wine Glass! 3 Clever Tableware Design Ideas

Meet Sebastian: most of his works are at least physically possible – objects for sale or at least ones you would want to buy if they were – but a few of his more ingenious concept designs defy the laws of physics, like the cut-in-pieces wine glass shown above.

Perfect for any pair of lovers (or at least good friends), this split cup-and-saucer design is a good excuse to get close to someone you care about – or perhaps get to know a stranger better at your local coffee shop.

Fruit bowls are typical centerpieces of many dining room tables, so why not cut or carve a bowl right into the wood of the table itself? Clever and simple, each of these ideas is at least inspiring if not downright practical or conventional. Sebastian has also created some curious works in the realm of fashion, including an all-zipper dress and a stuffed animal fur coat.

15 More Brilliant Book Shelving Systems

Lacking some library space in your crowded house or apartment? Our original 20 distinctive ways and places to house your books featured a number of ecological, flat pack, transformable and portable furniture solutions. This follow-up furniture selection has everything from cozy chairs and strange figures to suspended hangers and adjustable modules for you to fit your favorite books into. Whether or not you are already settled on the perfect way to use your living space, we present those designs now for your leisurely perusal as both functional and entertaining pieces of unique urban furniture.

The Bibliochaise: This “book chair” simply integrates a series of bookshelves around a place to sit, making it perhaps the perfect reading chair. The shelves come in a variety of colors, as do the cushions. You even have the option of upgrading to leather cushions if you feel a splurge coming on.

Alog Modular Shelving System: Looking to make a visual statement with your bookshelves? You may have found what you’re looking for with this system, which allows you to reconfigure the shelving modules into hundreds of different configurations. This bookshelf is proof that functionality, attractiveness and the possibility of customization are far from mutually exclusive.

Suspension Shelf: This extremely novel shelf uses a row of straps from which your books hang until you’re ready to pick them. Apart from being extremely interesting to look at, the aligned tops of the books can be used as a storage space of their own. When not in use, the suspension shelf takes up almost no room at all – a practical feature for a cramped urban domicile.

Geometric Modular Shelving: Somewhere near the zenith of customizable shelving stands these wall-mounted geometric shapes. As you will decide for yourself the nature of their arrangement on your wall, the possibilities are limitless. If you love to express yourself, these bookshelves could be an excellent way for you to personalize the place you call home.

Rolling Shelves: This extremely useful design allows you to roll away portions of a shelf to accommodate any objects too tall to otherwise fit between shelves. Available in the finish of your choice, these shelves could be made to match any decor and would certainly provide a striking way to store your books along with the occasional vase or unruly bottle.

Multi-functional shelf: With one simple curved line, this unusual design can outfit your abode with your choice of shelving, a desk or a stool to perch upon — depending on your mood or your greatest convenience.

UBend: Simpler still than the multi-functional shelf above, the UBend is a simple, single bar. If you didn’t know better, you might mistake it for a towel bar, but the bend in the bar provides a slot for a book to rest, and this book in turn acts as a book end for the rest of your books to lean against. You don’t have to order it in the pictured Punky Brewster color, but there’s something oddly comforting in knowing that you can.

Magnetic Modular Shelving: Truly an eye-catcher, this magnetic shelving is composed of strips of magnetized sheet steel affixed to the wall along with magnetic-backed boxes which can be arranged on the steel in any manner you deem appropriate. Since you can mount the steel — which serves a track for the functional boxes — in any orientation you choose, and you can mount as many strips of steel as you need, the design possibilities are without end.

Cell Shelf: One of the more unique pieces of any kind of furniture you’ll see, lighting will be key if you choose to display this unusual shelving unit. Though it may border on the impractical, these shelves are gorgeous enough that you might not even want to use them to store books.

Angled Bookshelf: Leave it to a former aeronautical engineer to come up with this chic and handy twist on a common bookshelf. The slanted shelves render bookends obsolete while the bare, crisp lines ensure that functionality need not come at the expense of form.

Stacks and “The City”: These versatile vertical frames are ready to be manipulated to suit your needs. You can lean them vertically, stack them horizontally; by attaching two together, you can even create a free-standing skyline of unparalleled bookshelf majesty. While the utility of these shelves is somewhat in question, their compelling visual nature certainly is not.

Assembled Boxes: Fastened together with two straps, these boxes are each covered with a unique print, creating an interesting, impossible to ignore pastiche effect. Though designs such as these are sure to make the organization of your books something of a confusing chore, the elegance that this shelving unit brings to a room outweighs those considerations.

Budak Modular Shelving: Like a pile of wine glasses or a multi-layered forest, this shelving and seating combination can be extensive as you want it to be thanks to its modular nature. Use just a few pieces for a small shelf or a bedside table (or a bench), or combine hundreds of pieces in the form of your choice to house your entire library.

The Neverending Bookcase: Another conceptual design with limited functionality, this tribute to the infinite is nevertheless sure to amaze guests with its graceful curves and — particularly if they are fans of Georg Cantor’s research on the mathematics of infinity — its philosophical implications. It’s likely to look better on its own than it will holding your math texts, though.

Collapsible Corrugated Shelving: If you’re looking for something that’s both lightweight and economical, you probably won’t do much better than the PLoP! storage and shelving system. Though the standard four section unit is pictured, the PLoP! is modular, which means that you can easily extend it up to twice that size without sacrificing the collapsibility and ease-of-transport which — along with extreme cost-rationality and a low overall resource expenditure — make these shelves so accessible and enchanting.
