Cher Horowitz, inspiration for millions
"Clueless" was on tv last night. Best scene ev-ar:
Gunman: Get on the ground!
Cher: Ohhhh nooo... You don't understand, this is an Alaia!
Gunman: A-what-ta?
Cher: It's like a totally important designer.
Gunman: And I will totally shoot you in the head. Get down!
(Unfortunately, this was the only photo I could find of Cher in the red Alaia. Apologies in advance for fat Britney Murphy's ugly mug.)
Azzedine Alaia was not, and has not, been a household name in fashion for quite some time. It has been noted that he pretty much disappeared in the mid-nineties, but he's been back for sometime now designing very discreetly and without any commercialization (ie, shows). Known as the "King of Cling", his stuff is very technical and he does the female form proud!
I definitely missed the Alaia reference watching the movie as an 11 year old.
But like seriously, how great were Cher's ensembles in that movie? I mean like the berets! The berets!!!!! I knew there was a reason I'd been hankering for berets lately... and while hers were a bit on the large side, the point remains: berets are like totally cool and hot... especially on Faye Dunaway who is like totally hotter and cooler with that discerning eye and beret.
Trรจs chic!

And who didn't fall in love with Cher's ginormous rotating, mechanized closet?!?! I LOVED that movie.
Oh! As frightened as I am by the hat, I do believe this is the dress: http://www.tvguide.com/movies/dbpix/images/37158a.jpg. I think it may be on the movie poster as well, but it's fairly well hidden under a feather boa.
Nice photo from Great Gatsby. That movie helped further Ralph Lauren's career.
...whose career obviously took a slightly different direction than Alaia's.
Is that picture from Bonnie and Clyde? Faye was hot as fuck in that movie. She sure went downhill in the 6-8 years between that and Chinatown though.
