You know Frank-he men's fashion writing, marketing, blasted television, new shops, the recession, Lisa Loeb, the Golden Girls and rack over two years. Well, we think it's time that you know him and his quirky-irreverent views on life and fashion even better with his column know: Love, Frank. In the form of an open letter and always with love, Frank rant about what style dilemma he encountered in a given week.

A great time, about Jane Austen Film Club
Dear fans of films frivolous and seeking inspiration mode unlikely
I'm not saying that is frivolous Clueless (so it is not), or that it is an unusual place to find pieces of fashion inspiration, because, well, Clueless is a film straight-up fashion. But it is a good starting point, and it is especially relevant at this time, for two reasons. One of the film has turned 17, he left at the end of July 1995. That makes the movie as old as the characters inside, the kind of fun that is, meta thinking. It also allows each and every one of us (which, you know, include everything word for word and not remember exactly when it came out, and I bought the soundtrack and I wanted to live) feel good, really old.
And two, the costumes in Clueless just looks really cool at the moment (I just finished my new DVD Walmart). All Jill Stuart plaid schoolgirl, while the body-conscious slinky. Calvin Klein distills all leather and layers and the street of the 90s seems and refined by the Hollywood machine and Fashion Everything seems to now we thought at that time, and he looked damn now then.
Well, it was very inspiring. My case all about tartans, I decided. But more than that, he looked at me in all my DVD is closer to the fashion inspiration. Scan and luckily my new hobby for the screen, it means summer means lazy beach vacation means no cables, stacks of DVDs. Here follow a few favorites you are making these decisions directly related to the generation of Clueless and should easily available in stores or Netflix $ 6 close-out at your local big box retailer and / or used on Amazon for about 85 cents cooler.
Jawbreaker: Sure, Jawbreaker (1999), a film sound pretty miserable current rating on Rotten Tomatoes is a 7th But it's dark and elegant and has some pretty funny moments. It also has this totally retro pinup bizarro version school where girls are very slutty twinsets bloodiest in red wool are their tiny skirts as pockets accessorized with patent (which carries pounds?) And Plexiglas-framed sunglasses 50s. You can also meet girls nerd hooker length pleated skirts, booties, socks and very Williamsburg, Drama Club and heterosexual palpitations, their eyes. Somewhere between Kurt Cobain and James Dean Bonus: The Donnas perform at prom, and all these songs Imperial Teen!
Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997): While we are together on the theme of the retro aesthetic Jawbreaker bomb, we can also speak of Romy and Michele. Your 90s retro fetishism is iteration candy coated covers decades nostalgic I absolutely love in Jawbreaker (and, frankly, consumed in Pulp Fiction decade believe all Brady Bunch Movie, Matthew Sweet, Gwen Stefani, The Wedding Singer, That '70s Show, the boys of 90210, the compilation alternative school The Rock House cover). But more than cuts and vintage prints and energetic vibes SoCal, I like getting dressed both in tandem. Silhouettes and lengths of all they are always perfectly matched. Their colors always match. You look great in this convertible Jaguar. And OMIGOD that is not playing in the shop, they finally open at the end? I mean, lemon print dresses!
Reality Bites (1993): Another film that looks further back than any forward-notes (inexplicably tailored) saves actually looks authentic, a clothing store on Vicki collection madness kitsch costumes in Reality Bites. Real people dress (and dress) like this. This is a snapshot of the difficulty postgraduate hipster (although it was decided pre-hipster, so Gen X-er? Old person?) Meandering through life underpaid. In terms of style, it's Winona Ryder Lelaina Pierce and his time-definition look. I urge you a perfect example, and was found very sexy-chic androgyny of savings. It's a T-shirt and a pair of Celine bag-501s look exquisite. Their clothes are vintage shirt perfection. This framed round sunglasses are the Holy Grail.
Heathers (1988): Speaking of Winona Ryder, you must check Heathers. Although not technically 90s, it is bright and funny and as dark and crazy and there almost can not help put one of these WTF, how does it get --- movie moments. But it is simply oozes style. Note that each of the Heathers and Veronica symbolize constantly wardrobed final monochromatic look that lines the character said. Also note that the movie start progress and people are really starting to bite the dust character wears a different color or black and white is. It grows very funny. And also look at the wallpaper. You are awesome.
Empire Records (1995): It's hard to admit, but seeing this film shows that there is in fact some kind of error. Not in a genre that's Jawbreaker terrible it is almost ingenious way. More good, just a dud. However, you can revel in the soundtrack, which is as mainstream hip and get a very nice, nostalgic atmosphere. You can also admit that the reason none of us have ever bought a mohair and / or angora sweater is absolutely right Liv Tyler in this area. Film, even if the color electric blue sky is expandable to Banana Republic on clearance circa 2001
Splendor (1999): Have you seen this movie? You should. It's funny and charming and so in his time. But mostly, I love that the main character, Veronica, this beautiful porcelain cute person with a snub nose and a bunch of vaguely retro mini dresses different hairstyles, like every day. So refreshing! Why did not the girl in real life? Dryer inspiration! Additionally, you can not not love her artist friend a walking cliche and a hilarious cameo late 90s lifestyle beverages Orbitz (hover the matter with clear spots atomic) be.
The Last Days of Disco (1998): One of the wisest and cohesion looking movies that I can think of, let alone laugh charming and talkative and loud funny. Peep. The in-the-know New Yorkers who do not really know that disco was almost finished wearing these fabulous clubs And work the next day. And it's not just clothing, it is the space that adorn the landscape. It is totally waspy first apartment of three girls preferred output divided. All these scenes restaurant. Same office space. Everything is there for a reason, and everything is a feature filmmaker Whit Stillman sensitivity. To see back to his 1990 film Metropolitan preppism tried and true American perfect in all its timeless trend less fame. Changed before starting the mode proportions, reinforced brand from Japan and established Americana fetishists in a mall near you.
Cry-Baby (1990) (also Hairspray, 1988, Serial Mom, 1994): As I mentioned on the directors who have created elegant looks universe, I have to John Waters. And, frankly, it's certainly Waters films more accessible and pleasant. Moreover, each is simply a feast for the eyes, whether antique furniture show, the 60's with joy and precision and accurate soft the right cast, frivolous camp (the first two) parts or modern retro-kitsch aesthetic (Serial Mom), they is a sensory feast. Clothing sets, great big, fun, and always a little over-ridiculous. Moreover, Ricki Lake.
So my two cents. The love? I hate them? I have the classics? Let me know in the comments, I'm always down for some new inspiration.
