Bookmark the permalink. Post a comment. Leave a Trackback (URL). Throughout much of Wall Street (1987), Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko dresses as sharp as a tack, wearing perhaps two really great shirts: the renowned ‘Gekko shirt’ in blue with white contrast collars and cuffs and an appealing variation on the Gekko, a pink and white Vichy check – again with white collars and cuffs. Both embody the corrupting authority of a 1980s power outfit: immaculate and comfortable, yet loud…

Second and final part in our sartorial analysis of Sherlock Holmes (2009), complete with insight from costume designer Jenny Beavan. Excited by the mystery of Lord Blackwood’s apparent ‘resurrection’, Holmes actually makes a genuine effort to appear neat for once (the restaurant date does not count as he was prompted). Holmes strolls into the cemetery beside Watson and Constable Clark wearing a black single breasted whale cord frock coat, high fastening with stand collar waistcoat in green and gold flower pattern silk, striped silk scarf, light grey pinstripe trousers, white shirt with unbuttoned cuffs, wideawake hat (too wide a brim for a trilby, too soft for a homburg) and round-framed…

Post a comment. Leave a Trackback (URL). Some on-set photos of Wall Street 2 have just made their way ONLINE. As per our previous article, Shia LaBeouf in leather – an unremarkable looking black leather bomber jacket in fact – was spot-on. We didn’t predict the Gucci loafers though. And Michael Douglas in a black and white twill check shirt and black shades? Godron Gekko clearly did not keep up his GQ subscription in jail. Ellen Mirojnick created Gekko’s…

Leave a Trackback (URL). Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Michael Keaton (voices) Directed By: Lee Unkrich One of the funniest scenes in Toy Story 3 involves new character Ken. Moreover it actually involves Barbie disguised as Ken. The joke comes from the fact that Ken’s clothes are overtly feminine in style, so much so that when Barbie’s stilettos are revealed beneath her…
