The menswear touches are so fun... but your "movie jacket" write-up is the best! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---1920s-germany-meets-socal-suburbia#post-905071 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:49:30 +0000 Anonymous 905071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha! you crack me up! A fab interpretation, I was right there with you! YLF! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---1920s-germany-meets-socal-suburbia#post-905067 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:46:14 +0000 JulieJohn 905067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Guten tag! This outfit is part of the Picture Perfect Challenge, and today's movie poster is Metropolis! With nothing remotely urban in my wardrobe, nothing resembling either a robot or a skyscraper or a sexual, sci-fi goddess, I realized I'd need to emulate the spirit of the time and place in which this landmark film was crafted. Und so, let's get to it!<br /><br />When you view my photos, you may think you see a cheerful suburban wife in a pair of jeans with some menswear accents. But look closer. What you are actually seeing is a girl in 1920s Weimar Germany, a worker, a woman of the people. She is disillusioned after the horrors of the Great War. Her kohl-rimmed eyes (work with me here) have witnessed man's basest actions, and they are filled with unshed tears. In her disregard for fashion's norms and outdated modesty, she reinvents herself, and thus humanity.<br /><br />Her worker boyfriend doesn't like ladies in neckties, and since he is a worthy partner in her struggle, she exchanges her necktie for a scarf, for him. And since it will be 80 degrees in the Weimar Republic today, she doffs her tweed hat. She is, after all, a sensible crusader.<br />
