Cinema has been and remains a powerful source of inspiration. Who did not want to sew the iconic outfit of the heroine of some cult film? And the April release of Burda provides such an opportunity.
Creating costumes for the hero of the film is a difficult task. Clothing is one of the means of artistic influence on the viewer, because in a high-quality film, costumes play no less role than the words, facial expressions and gestures of the hero. The outfit from the first minutes of the tape should tell a lot about the character and the era in which the action takes place, should reflect the social status of the hero, his psychological state and evoke a particular emotion in the viewer. Therefore, we are so attracted to the iconic images of cult films - the costume designer achieved exactly this.
An underlying desire to look like a heroine and make the same impression leads to the desire (and in our case also to the possibility) to recreate the costume. However, few people think that copying an image, it also copies the message embedded in it. And this message is not always appropriate in the life circumstances of the replicator. And even if the cinematic image is close and in demand, you often want to expand the boundaries of the application of an already sewn outfit. I would like to put new meanings into the thing so that it does not hang in the closet with a dead weight, waiting for those very appropriate circumstances, but easily fits into sets for various fields of activity.
The Mini-Magic Cinema mini-collection from the April issue of Burda Magazine, which became the Theme of the Month, offers excellent modern and easily recognizable styling of film costumes. I propose to look at these things a little more broadly and show options for everyday, less theatrical socks of the same clothes.

How nice is this jacket complete with a narrow skirt and beret, isn't it? However, it will be no less beautiful in the company of boats and wide trousers or high boots, pipes and a miniskirt. And you can stylize a jacket in the spirit of the 80s and complement a fluffy midi-length skirt. Avant-garde details in the form of asymmetry of a skirt and unusual heels on combination shoes will add a fresh, modern touch.

A beautiful top in the style of the late 50s and early 60s is easy to imagine in the company of beloved Audrey Hepburn cropped capri pants, a hyper-feminine fluffy skirt in the style of Christian Dior or a sexy pencil skirt. But let's add insolence and mix it with ultra-fashionable banana jeans (naturally, tucking the top in jeans). Or create a luxurious look with more familiar, but no less trendy trousers - a palazzo. The elongated blazer thrown over the shoulders will not only create the actual multi-layer effect, but also increase the comfortable temperature range of the ensemble.

It would seem that it could be more practical than a pencil skirt? But in modern realities it is more like an office story. Bright color and mix with more relaxed and less pretentious things, such as a voluminous pullover with a V-neck and sandals of frivolous color of strawberry marshmallows, will help to soften the strict nature of the graphic cut. However, white sneakers or sneakers loved by many here would also be appropriate and would support a light sporty note of the pullover.
4. Dress in peas

Now the style of the 80s is actively quoted on the catwalk and this is one of the trends of the season. Therefore, you can safely take any Beauty ensemble and wear it here and now, of course, supplementing the image with modern make-up, hairstyle, accessories and jewelry. I propose to mix two fashionable eras of this season, and complement the dress with peas from the 80s with a leather blazer from the 90s. And, by the way, it is better to close the drawstring at the waist with a belt or belt, so the image will look more elegant and noble.

An evening dress of laconic cut should not hang in the closet in the hope of a second high point. It can be safely worn every day, reducing the degree of solemnity by very simple and sometimes deliberately rude things and materials.Leather, denim, wicker textures and massive details will create a stylish contrast to the noble matte sheen of the dress. Do not be afraid of wide shirts tossed over! Simply accentuate your waist with a topical strap. And then the voluminous lap over the belt and the lush tails under it themselves will "draw" the desired silhouette.
