In 1990, director David Lynch released a film called 'Wild At Heart' about two lovers on the run, played by Laura Dern (Lula) & Nicolas Cage (Sailor). If you've ever seen a Lynch film before than you know just what to expect. Although he never fails to be more than entertaining, his story lines usually go off in a million directions leaving the viewer wondering..."What the heck was that all about?" For some, it was considered to be a cult classic but that subject still remains up for discussion because during the original screening people were walking out in droves. In spite of that, 'Wild At Heart' won the prestigious Palme d'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival that year...
From The snakeskin jacket worn by Sailor to the aerobics leotard & leggings paired with cowboy boots worn by Lula, there was a whole lot of diversity going on in this movie in regards to fashion styles. Unlike Cage who basically wore the same outfit throughout the entirety of the film (jeans, t-shirt, jacket), Dern's wardrobe was eclectic and I'm assuming because of the title of the movie, the costume designer, Amy Stofsky knew exactly what she was doing by making the crazy personalities of the characters believable with the ability to create a free spirited feel to the roles being played.
Usually, I give my readers a little 'how to' in regards to creating a style in accordance with the film it was inspired by, but not this week. I don't think there's no room in any ones wardrobe for the return of the aerobic leotard!
