Mrs. Maisel's retro outfit is still unfinished, and I naturally put my hand on the fascinating Post-World War II - old movies of the 40s and 50s, from the advancement of the plot to the clothing and every move at that time, to see how the original style was at that time, it felt like crossing.
Hitchcock + Grace Kelly + suspense, did not give me a reason to reject this film, a single but exquisite scene, gripping plot, the heroine's stunning let this film have another unforgettable memory point outside the plot.
Grace Kelly was worthy of the future Princess of Monaco, charming enough to be blinded.
Edith Head is Grace Kelly's best friend and the film's costume designer, and each of Grace's outfits is not only a pleasing vase, but actually serves the plot, and at the same time, lets us see a microcosm of the fashion of the 50s for future generations.
This very typical New Look silhouette skirt is impossible not to be impressed, the fashionable girls of the 50s are almost inseparable from this dress, Grace's unique feature is the extremely simple large V-neckline, so that the audience's eyes are completely focused on Grace's face
This green set is the elegance of the "50s Balenciaga", with a sleeveless shirt with a cleverly pleated design, a white pill box top hat, white gloves and a white pearl necklace, which is a set of perfect details and typical of the modern girl of the 50s
At the time, fashion vanes all over the world were in Paris, as Grace Kelly's Lisa described her clothes:
fresh from the Paris plane
Audrey Hepburn has too many classic works, and the song and dance drama "Sweet Sister" is not the most famous, but I like the outfit in it, and even get a lot of practical inspiration now.
The plot of this drama takes place in Paris, and because the heroine becomes a model and has an inseparable connection with fashion, the dress must naturally be worthy of the name of the city.
Very "Hepburn" black turtleneck + black leggings, with a hooded trench coat, this set directly moved to the current spring and autumn season is also fashionable.
This bell-shaped suit is also impressive, often seen in the 50s magazine blockbusters such a performance, seeing Hepburn wearing it makes you feel more vivid beauty.
This film may not be as well-known as the above two films, but in fact, it is super powerful, winning six Oscars such as best picture, best adapted screenplay, and best soundtrack that year.
It is an old film released in 1951, telling the love story of American soldiers and French girls after World War II, although it is a typical romance plot, its influence on fashion continues to this day.
The 2019 Gucci Spring/Summer advertising campaign pays homage to the Hollywood cabaret of the '40s and '50s, and the film is among them.

The story of this film takes place after World War II, the fashion at the junction of the 40s and 50s, new look has just broken into people's eyes with a stunning posture, and still retains a lot of 40s-style understated elegance, and we can still get a lot of inspiration from it today.
Wool cardigans, midi skirts and flat shoes, look at the box bag, put in the present is not outdated, the original Parisian style for most of the century is still that taste
The dignified, restrained color scheme is relatively more low-key, even now, it is worth learning from formal occasions
After watching the movie, I always feel that the retro style is too touching, if you can travel to Paris in the 40s and 50s, and the real retro fashion is in the same space at your fingertips, it is wonderful.
