Annie Hall style! Where do i begin? The film came out when i was 12-13 and just starting to be aware of style. Prior to that the 70s style reigned: tight bellbottoms with fitted tops, lots of denim and polyester, a look that had been there for most of the decade and was starting to look stale, even to my very young eyes. Then Annie Hall burst on to the scene bringing everything fresh: androgynous references, loose silhouettes, natural fabrics that were allowed to crumple, neutral colours. The vibe was intellectual but rebellious, and I was smitten! I remember buying the loose khaki cotton pants, the brown man’s vest, loose off-white woven tops to go with. The look felt so fresh and so me: bookish but with an intellectual rebel streak. I’ll never forget Annie Hall because it was the start of my own style journey, and still today I continue to be drawn to its core elements.
