Pretty in Pink

The L.A. Times's Image section mentions so-called choice '80s fashions making a comeback, including boyfriend jackets, baggy shirts over leggings, bright neon colors, and Madonna-reminiscent layers of chain-metal jewelry.

This article incidentally went to print online the same day that film director John Hughes passed away.

I have to admit that my favorite flick from that era is Heathers, which starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater as high school misfits that are a death wish to the popular crowd.

On the horizon is Heathers's remake into a TV series! But is it even possible for the revamp to adequately portray that same brooding, macabre, and acidic wit? A croquet is such a necessary accessory:

Bananas!

A Graphic Rendition

Artist Tim Hamilton has adapted Ray Bradbury's famed Fahrenheit 451 into a graphic novel. Graphic novels are an alternative take on a literary work in that they necessitate reading in-between the lines, so to speak.

Black and White: Faye Dunaway

Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde has just that l'amour toujours for cops-and-robbers fare, with felt berets, printed silk scarves, calf-length gingham skirts, flats, and belted sweaters. Oh, and a Darringer.

Material World?

ET has a video of Madonna as fashion designer Marc Jacob's face of Louis Vuitton:

Films on Fashion: Confidentially Yours

The September Issue, a documentary film on Vogue's razor-tongued Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, is out in theaters soon.

Lagerfeld: Confidentiel (2007) is a flashy romp through the septegenerian's everday life as the creative spearhead behind Chanel's revamp in the '80s.

Disclaimer: This film is peppered with '80s tunes and a close look at designer's true nature; by incorporating footage of Lagerfeld at a Paris nightclub in a gold lame jacket, photographing Nicole Kidman for a Chanel ad campaign after a party, perusing silver jewelry to adorn from a bowl, and working in his cluttered office space. Lagerfield claims that a necessity for chaos is essential in reinvention.

The designer's current RTW collection for Fall '09, "Belle Brummell", is inspired by that of a British dandy taking to fits of jade.

Low-slung pants with a matching cropped jacket, fingerless black leather gloves, and white T-straps over opaque tights are of particular note. Not to mention jade nail polish!
