A fashion history of great gatsby When baz luhrmann great gatsby arrives in
theaters next week, it won be the first time a cinematic adaptation of
low
price the charismatic millionaire will enthrall the fashion world.
The 1974 version of the film, Quinceanera
Dresses Sale 2014 starring robert redford and a perpetually
whispering mia farrow, may have been kicked to the curb critically, but that
summer, the film fashions helped to ignite a jazz age craze. Summer whites
dominated when it was in theaters, thanks to redford thick cable knits and dandy
suits Cocktail
Dresses UK and to farrow diaphanous white ruffles.Perhaps costume
designer theoni v.Aldredge(Who battled with a then littleknown ralph lauren for
costume credit)Took direct inspiration from protagonist nick carraway
description of the parties he witnessed at gatsby Was music from my neighbor
house through those summer nights, f.Scott fitzgerald wrote.His enchanted
gardens, men and girls came and went like moths, among the whispering and the
champagne and the stars.Think it great timing for the movie, said jill carey, a
professor at lasell college and curator of the school fashion collection.Been
almost 40 years, i think people are still very intrigued with the 1974
version.Also thinks that the timing of both films is no coincidence. Crave a
classic in times of struggle, carey says.1974, we were struggling
economically.And now there also an incredible polarization of wealth as there
was when was written.The biggest legacy of the 1974 was the emphasis on men
tailoring.Lauren, who is credited with creating redford suits for the movie,
helped make this gatsby believable in his surroundings. Doesn want to live in
that ivy league world low price of
mansions and elaborate parties?Carey asked. The 1974 stands as the fashion
pinnacle for fitzgerald novel at least until the latest gatsby opens next
week.But the period piece, which earned theoni an oscar for costume design(She
didn thank lauren in her acceptance speech)Was not the first cinematic
adaptation of the book.Here a look at three more celluloid interpretations. Paul
rudd stars as nick carraway, mira sorvino is daisy buchanan and toby stephens
portrays jay gatsby in the small screen adaptation.It not only cringeworthy for
stephens bad american accent, but also for the clothes.Call it great gatsby goes
to gosford park with a stop at brideshead.There is nothing sexy or fun here.It
looks like it was filmed during a damp, mossy english summer.And poor sorvino
and francie swift(Who plays jordan baker)Are stuck in frumpy dresses with
oversized hats that feel like great depression precursors. History most prolific
movie costumer, edith head, made the wardrobe for this black and white
interpretation.If the 2000 tv version was the 1949 version played up the romance
in classic hollywood style.There sass, quick wit, and not a lick of subtlety,
plus shelley winters as tragic mistress myrtle.This is gatsby noir.Head
delicately balances the 1920s with the 1940s in her costumes, but eventually
seems to shrug her shoulders and go with the 1940s.Don bother looking for
flapper dresses, droppedwaist lines, or the charleston.These party guests prefer
waltzing in structured gowns.
