The Grey Gardens Documentary

I got roped into watching 
The Grey Gardens as everyone said it was a classic iconic film
conclusion......


First of all how cool are the names
Edith "Big Edie" Ewing Bouvier Beale and
Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale


and the fact their Reclusive Socialites living in a place called Grey Gardens
is incredibly sinister but bloody intriguing


As they were the Aunt and First cousin of the style icon 
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy 
There is no surprise for the ridiculous but amazing amount of 
Fur Coats 
Head Scarves
Mixed Patterns and colours
and packed with wicked Style
Here's some pictures from the film

 
 and here's a fashion shoot I found, 
which you can see has definitely inspired from the films

designers such as 
John Galliano, 
Matthew Williamson,
Dolce and Gabbana but here are some images from BON magazine showing the true inspiration of the Head Scarves

Christain Dior Autumn/Winter 2010-2011 Haute Couture

Tropical Flowers on Ecstasy is all I can say

Love it

Always a fan of John Galliano using all the colours under the Rainbow and Brightening up Fall with vivid pigments of colour.

I also like the connotation of having coloured cellophane wrapped around the models heads as if a representation of a bouquet of exotic flowers.

Stephen Jones was incharge of this Headgear.

Galliano didn't even hold back with the shapes, having dresses hems in the shape of petals and evening dresses reminiscent of fields of flowers.

Obviously Dior is famous for it's tulip shape dresses in the 40's, so that was a source of inspiration as well as flower photos from Irving Penn and Nick Knight.

I hate it when Fall always means browns, navys and Black colours are in season
Galliano is marching on the Pro colour  for Fall Parade!!!!!
