KodyPangburn

I like clothes that fit loosely. I have always been a fan of draped costumes and it seems as though clothing is starting to move towards that idea.



I like all sorts of clothes.



yes i do.

The power of a pink lip.

Working Girl: Tribute to Ann Roth, padded shoulders, amazing costume renderings

Back when I was in college at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADSION I was in a class with Gail Brassard, a very witty and talented costume designer and professor. Our first project was to adapt Working Girl; the 1988 classic with Melanie Griffith and Segourney Weaver.




The costumes were done by the amazingly talented Ann Roth. Ugh. I. Love. Her. Here are a few pictures of the mastermind...

Always the trend setter.

One of her costume renderings for Kate Winslet in The Reader.

Wide legged and bushy tailed.

Fashion works in cycles; seemed only natural that skinny jeans would be something of the past while wide-legged jeans popularized in the 1970's would come back to us all. Kate Moss started knocking around in her "elephant leg" pants a few years ago.
And let's be honest, we were all jealous of the girls in Dazed and Confused .

Rebecca Taylor's Spring RTW collection has some nice interpretations of the wide-leg.

And of course, Chanel would have a word on this matter. Love the bead work. Love the outgrowth of blonde highlights. Love. Love. Love.

Biba's 2008 RTW Collection. Pure poetry, even now.
