A couple of months ago now, during a lecture on my FCP course, it was highlighted to my attention how important iconic movies throughout the decades has been to modern day fashion style. Movie stars have always been in the spotlight, and because of this, they become role models in many different ways, one of them being their fashion style. However, it is not just the distinctive clothes from each decade that are memorable to us, but also the movie stars themselves, with many fashion magazines, advertisements and photography now using these classic celebrities as style icons in their work.
Learning about these movie stars who were famous before I was even born was hard to get my head around at first, but its really clear to see how fashion repeats itself, for example Lauren Hutton from the 1970's, who was the original gap-toothed model - a look model agents were desperate for a couple of years ago when Georgia May Jagger hit the spotlight as the new face of fashion. After having this made clear to me, it was pretty easy to pick up where some of these modern looks may have got their influence from, and I decided to create a Pinterest board in order to collect images of this.

It's great to be able to look back at beautiful and dominant women in the showbiz industry, and it really does suggest how influence can come from anywhere for the fashion industry, particularly iconic movies!
