The founder of OKcupid, the world's largest dating website, analyzed more than 270,000 match through big data analysis, and summed up some interesting big data that can be used to chat on the first date.
"Do you like the taste of beer?" The answer is "yes" people, there is more than a 60% chance of going to bed on the first date;
"Do you prefer that the people who live around you are more complex or simpler?" The answer is "complex" people who are more liberal, more open to political opinions, views on same-sex marriage, or views on the death penalty, and vice versa.
But the founder said the most critical two questions you can ask on a first date, there is no right or wrong, just to see if the answer is the same as yours, if you are also "yes" or the same "no", the probability of matching will be much higher than 3.7 times. The two problems are:
"Have you ever traveled overseas alone?" and "Do you love watching horror movies?" ”
Fashion gives courage
The fall/winter 2021 release (how many other people in Seriously really care?) Let's see designers put away lazy, comfortable, Zoom meeting friendly designs, and they can't wait to get life and fashion back on track in fall/winter 2021.
Slowly, even so, bloomberg analysis of global travel back to normal is still another 5.5 years. No country would dare to pat itself on the back and say the pandemic is over. Professor John Johnson of Penn State University published an academic study in January: In the face of the new crown pandemic, those who watch a lot of horror movies every day are more calm and brave, and "the plot in horror movies is equivalent to a demonstration for them."
End of the third season of American Horror Story
Before dying, the witch shouted "Balenciaga! ”
A pair of gloomy eyes, seeing the uninvited guest
Coming to spring/summer 2021, we were not surprised to meet many calm, courageous fashion designers: Saint Laurent released the short film Summer of '21, inspired by creative director Anthony Vaccerello and Argentine director Gaspar Noé from the classic Italian thriller image Giallo. The female model in the short film wakes up in the forest and is chased by something foggy and screaming all the way.
She escapes into a manor house, the music is still thrilling, and the old house is filled with a group of girls dressed in Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2021, reveling in their own and each other's beauty.
The short film is red and black, and the lighting seems to be a velvet for the room, which looks very Argentinian, but it is actually inspired by the new store layout of Saint Laurent in 21 rue de Tournon in 1996.
It was the first ready-to-wear boutique opened by haute couture designers
Make haute couture affordable for more women
And this model was very successful, and his ready-to-wear stores soon opened overseas
So was Paul Andrew. Because of the lockdown, he indulged in many Hitchcock classics at home, and then his Salvatore Ferragamo invited Luca Guadagnino, a regular at Fashion Week, and the two of them combined mystery and suspense in Salvatore Ferragamo's Spring/Summer 2021 commercial. Coincidentally, there are no people in the empty streets of Milan and Hollywood, and the super-saturated Hitchcock colors of "Birds" and "Ecstasy" are very artistic in the spring and summer.
Luca Guadagnino believes that witches exist, "exist because for centuries the incredible femininity posed such a threat to patriarchy, and the essence of this feminine power has essentially been replaced by evil." So I believe witches exist, and they are representatives of female power. Although 'Call Me By Your Name' won Luca Guadagnino a number of awards, his next few films to be released were all horror films.
Responding to horror with fashion makes people want to applaud their positivity.
In the dark, relive fashion masterpieces from horror movies
Of course, horror movies don't just serve the chaotic world.
Erdem in the fall/winter of 2016 was inspired by Hitchcock's other 1940 film, Butterfly Dreams. The film tells the story of a woman who marries into a large family, but gradually finds herself living in the shadow of the previous manor hostess who has died. There are many small black dresses, dresses, wool skirts and other styles in the film, showing the image of luxury and elegance in the 30s, and Erdem is also like that of nearly a century later.
Erdem not only fashioned those elegant women of Hitchcrick Creek
Even the fashion show scene is like that
And "Birds" has not only influenced Salvatore Ferragamo this spring and summer. The 1963 film Bird was arguably the most fashion-influenced work in the history of horror cinema, and the graceful image of the heroine Tippi Hedren influenced generations of designers. Alexander McQueen presented a number of black-pressed bird-shaped silhouette prints on the bridge in the spring and summer of 1995.
These silhouette prints are still widely used by Alexander McQueen today
In Louis Vuitton's 2003 commercial, the back of the suitcase in his hand follows the train, and he does not know what situation will be ahead, which is also the opening of the movie that pays tribute to "The Bird".
As for The Shining, it can go down in history not only with a superb script and textbook art, but also with a plot that is enough to inspire people. In 1997, Glen Luchford made the last set of film camera commercials for Prada, one of which was a tribute to the final scene of The Shining ghosting the wall in the snow.
The hexagonal check carpet in The Shining also appeared on the women's runway in the fall/winter of 2012. Prada adds an extra white, creating a sci-fi mirror image that gives it a labyrinthine sense of depth.
There is also no shortage of fashion designers who have taken the initiative to create costumes for movies. For example, Yves Saint Laurent created the image in the film for his muse, French national treasure actress Catherine Deneuve's "Beauty of the Day" and "The Millennium Blood Queen". In Millennium Blood Queen, the 80s shoulder pads and gothic costumes make her an underground vampire. Especially at the beginning of the film, she appears as a bloodthirsty flight attendant.
Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 1996 was inspired by this film, when he gave a bloody handprint on a white shirt and a transparent blouse filled with worms...
And, let the model wear earrings in the shape of fangs. McQueen has an amazing imagination.
There are also designers who bluntly print the ghost image in the horror movie on the ready-to-wear. Prada, for example, in Fall/Winter 2019, printed the genius scientist in Frankenstein, said: "Fashion should not be too heavy, otherwise it is a political debate." So I used a demon who was looking for love as inspiration. ”
Louis Vuitton in the early fall of 2020, whose Campaign is inspired by the horror movie posters of the 80s, in the nightmare, also wants to be beautiful.
In addition to fashion, there is also makeup and hair. Chanel's makeup ad pays homage to the bride of Frankenstein in Frankenstein.
Rick Owens also had models paint their entire faces and black circles on their fall/Winter 2016 menswear runways. The makeup was inspired by the 1960 French-Italian co-production Faceless Eyes, about a doctor stealing their faces from young women and filling them with his daughter after an accident.
There's also Junya Watanabe, whose designers took inspiration from the makeup of the protagonist of the British film "Raising Ghosts and Eat people" to let the models on the overpass walk on their fall/winter 2006 runways with their heads and faces full of needles.
In Balenciaga in autumn/winter 2019, the opening two models are shown with red contact lenses. The red color film is matched with black pupils, and the gloomy appearance matches the all-black runway.
Put on a beautiful costume and don't be afraid of shining spirits or fierce bells
Maybe life was like that — in retrospect, maybe home isolation was more terrifying than ghostly. In horror movies, ghosts or killers need to unleash their instincts by killing. As the plot twists and turns, the protagonist's life or death becomes dramatic, even poetic. Later, the vehicle for interpreting this drama and poetry became people's fashion.
But at the end of the day, all the fashion designed around horror movies is based on aesthetics: first black instant fashion, one year to see McQueen's Sage Beauty show, I'm not sure if it's good to be black from head to toe. The feedback heard was: Honey, in the fashion circle the first is thin, the second is black.
Also Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello presented the horror aesthetic of the 1931 vampire film Dracula in the fall/winter of 2018, with black pressing a cloaked model across the overpass.
Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2018
Second, decorate the capes and leather of the ghosts in horror movies, which in women are a satire on the stereotype of men looking at women. Alexander McQueen's all-black cape and mask for fall/winter 2002 was inspired by horror film director Tim Burton. He once said that some people like Snow White, some people like Cinderella, and some people like the Frog Prince, and the most profound influence on him is the Gothic suspense "Brothers Grimm".
Hitchcock once said, "Blondes are the best targets." But in recent years, more and more "big heroine" horror movie themes have emerged. So in the end, more and more horror movies are interesting: women in it are no longer the victims, but more fierce characters.
2019's "Neon Devil" is even more eye-catching like a dynamic fashion blockbuster
If you are really caught up in a horror movie, what is the best way to escape? In 2013's Galeries Lafayette Karl Lagerfeld's seven-minute horror film Dangerous Invitation for Fendi, the two models are invited to dine in a gloomy old mansion, where everything is weird, following the dresscode (of course) and sitting down, even the old paintings on the walls seem to glow a sinister smile. They fled into the wilderness, not forgetting to take Fendi's big bag with them. Lafayette played a musical and visual talent, did a good job of rendering the atmosphere, and the ending was also an open-ended ending, could they escape smoothly?
Honey, when you go to such a secluded place, there is nothing you need more than a good pair of shoes.
"Do you love horror movies?"
Although it is highly likely that the two will not watch horror movies together - Chinese mainland can not make real ghost films, "after the founding of the country is not allowed to become a spirit"; nor is it a Western "Hannibal" and "Chainsaw Horror" style bloody slaughter thriller. I know that the horror movies we are talking about are Hong Kong horror movies from 90 to 2000 and later Japanese, Korean and Thai horror movies, which are lingering psychological fears, chu renmei and zombie uncles, Zhenzi and Jia Coconut, the kind of horror movies that rent a VCD for a dollar to go home to watch, summer vacation memories, Nie Xiaoqian and Wang Zuxian's ankles, and the post-95 generation will not understand.
"Do you love horror movies?" I asked. And already know that the other party has traveled alone in a foreign country.
"Love."
As if I heard the sound of the second shoe falling to the ground, I was still snickering. I'm announcing that we have a 3.7 times higher chance of being together than others.
