brings 1920's fashion roaring back pandora charms outlet into style

The Denver Post05/08/2013 03:34:44 PM MDTCarey Mulligan's look as Daisy Buchanan in "The Great Gatsby" was about being a Southern society wife, says costume designer Catherine Martin. As Jay Gatsby, Leonardo DiCaprio wears dapper Brooks Brothers suits. (Warner Bros. Pictures)May 8:"The Great Gatsby" Movie Review: Director Baz Luhrmann grates as excess drowns out nuanceA minute with: Baz Luhrmann on Gatsby, DiCaprio and Jay ZMay 2:'Great Gatsby' filmmaker wants to inspire summer of lavish partiesWith its hip hop infused soundtrack and 3 D effects, the "The Great Gatsby" hitting theaters this weekend is far from the version of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel that was required reading in high school.But the movie includes so many of the 1925 book's iconic scenes and conversations, viewers may well get caught up in it and go along for the wild, stylized ride.In the hands of Australian director Baz Luhrmannand his wife, Catherine Martin, who did the costumes as well as the production design, the film is a sensual banquet. At times it tempts and satisfies with its offerings. At others it makes you feel like you've had one too many rich desserts or flutes of Champagne.For fashion lovers, "Gatsby" is a must see. Miuccia Prada did the costumes worn by Daisy Buchanan (played by the blond bobbed Carey Mulligan), and each one is more lavish than the next. From the enchanting dress Daisy wears when she meets Gatsby (portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio) to the crystal beaded gown she dons for a big party, the looks are both true to the period and modern at the same time. Then there are the jewels from Tiffany Co., some from the archives, some invented purely for the film. And for the menswear, Brooks Brothers opened its archives, and tailors re created many designs. We expect a run on boaters, tie pins and spectator wingtips.So why do the clothes these characters wore almost a century pandora sale 2016 ago still appeal?Above, golfer Jordan Baker (Elizabeth Debicki) sports sophisticated late 1920s clothes. (Warner Bros. Pictures)Because in the 1920s, the world was changing rapidly and a new generation was ready to embrace anything new. "It feels carefree and fresh. It was the first period where we could draw parallels to today," Martin said in a phone interview from New York.The movie isn't intended as a literal interpretation of the 1920s, according to Martin. "The book is set in 1922, it was published in 1925 and it foreshadows the Great Depression," Martin said. "We felt we could use anything within the decade."One of the things Baz said from the beginning was that he didn't want a nostalgic New York. He wanted to be absolutely true to the period but [to also] re examine it and find things that could be surprising and refreshing."Like the transportation. "The souped up, fantastic cars are there because Baz wanted to be sure the audience understood it was a car culture," Martin said. "In the 1920s, cars were a status symbol and pandora uk sale a means of showing pandora charms outlet your wealth."Clothes and jewelry did the same thing.For the costumes, Martin decided that Daisy's clothes should reflect her Southern upbringing "She was a trophy society wife." Daisy's friend Jordan Baker (played by Elizabeth Debicki), on the other hand, was a professional golfer. Her modern, urban wardrobe borrows from the end of the 1920s, when silhouettes were more sleek.Catherine Martin collaborated with Miuccia Prada in creating costumes for "The Great Gatsby." She is also the film's production designer. (Warner Bros. Pictures)"You have to remember that by pandora outlet the 1920s, every sort of dress and neckline had been explored and worn loose, fitted, strapless, one shoulder, robe de style. We just reprised those," Martin said.Martin said one of the things she loved about the collaboration with Prada was that, as a female designer creating looks for women, Miuccia has a strong point of view. Just as Coco Chanel, who put women in pants and bathing suits in the 1920s, and Jeanne Lanvin, who worked during the same time in Paris.Prada was initially reluctant to do the costumes because she resists looking back, but she and the director have a history. The wedding suit DiCaprio wore in 1996's "Romeo + Juliet"was designed by Prada and it was then that she and Luhrmann became friends.When it was time for them to reunite, "I thought about how they both used historic references in completely different ways," Martin said. "We wanted something fresh and exciting that should be as visceral as New York felt to Fitzgerald at the time."Prada's influence was also seen in the 300 extras in the film. Luhrmann likes to view pandora rings canada everyone as a character, so each has a description and specific costume. "They're not faceless people in the crowd," Martin said. Prada created not only clothes, but furs, handbags and accessories in the company's Italian factories.The pandora charms sale clearance party scenes in the movie are so crowded and over the top your eyes don't know where to land on the screen. People are dancing, drinking, swimming, smoking, playing music, riding in open top cars.

Local woman redefines vintage with online store

Sticklers believe a garment must be at least 30 years old to deserve the label. Others argue 20 years is sufficient. What Dennaya Famous considers vintage, however, wouldn't go over well with either camp.

"I was born in '87, so the late '80s to 1995 would be vintage for me," she says, bedecked in gear from those years. pandora outlet In other words, she considers a 16 year old Ralph Lauren Polo shirt an aged article of clothing.

The local 24 year old doesn't just represent a new take on vintage. She represents what it means to be young and determined in the fashion industry today.

Famous' niche goes beyond a preferred era. She scours thrift stores and vintage boutiques for gear specific to African American and hip hop culture during that time.

Although her name sounds like something an agent conjured up for a budding rock star, Dennaya Famous is her real name. Famous is the oldest of two children. Although it pays her bills now, the store wasn't part of her initial fashion aspirations. Then again, fashion as a career wasn't an initial aspiration.

After graduating from Cheyenne High School, Famous had a brief college stint at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She thought she wanted to study psychology until she started to study psychology. She decided it wasn't for her. That's when she took an honest look at her interests and strengths and pondered how to turn them into a career. It came to her. Famous would become a fashion stylist.

Generations before her couldn't even describe what a fashion stylist did for a living. But, Famous is part of the "Project Runway" generation. She grew up watching reality TV shows that put the fashion industry center stage. Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is as well known as some of her clients thanks to her show on Bravo. Additionally, watching Lauren Conrad waltz into the "Teen Vogue" pandora sale offices and leave with a coveted internship on "The Hills" probably didn't do naive teenagers any favors. The uber competitive, highly exclusive industry of fashion suddenly seemed easily attainable.

Like all the others, Famous had a wake up call when she set out on her stylist adventures. As it turned out, borrowing clothes from high end designers wasn't easy. Rather than repeat her UNLV experience and surrender completely, Famous got creative.

"I had to be more cost efficient," she says. "I decided to do it myself."

Instead of unsuccessfully asking these stores to pandora rings canada loan her clothes so she could style photo shoots, she created her own store.

The store is a reflection of Famous' personal style. Visitors will find Chanel heart earrings ($200), Fendi clutch bags ($120), MCM portfolio bags ($200) and Gucci collegiate sweaters ($120). T shirts ($30) and shredded denim shorts ($55) customized by Famous herself. The point is to provide customers with merchandise that reminds them of the days when belts had a pager clipped to them, when Michael Jordan's tongue precluded a slam dunk, when high top fades made men feel taller and when bamboo earrings "at least two pair" were must have accessories.

That was a time period Famous and her family fondly remember. Her father, Ben Famous, is better known as DJ Benzo for KCEP, Power 88, a local radio station that bills itself as "your soul school station." He admits his daughter got her fashion sense from her mother, but says the hip hop influence probably came from him.

"From a toddler, I remember her in her crib, rocking to songs," he says. "Her favorite song she would bounce to it when she was maybe 2 or 3 months was Salt n Pepa's 'Shake Your Thang.'" Artists such as Queen Latifah and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the pandora sale Fresh Prince were steadily playing in their house. But, if there was a Chicago Bulls game on, that took priority.

Considering her father refers to the Air Jordans he no longer owns as "the ones that got away," it makes sense that Famous' next fashion pursuit is in premium sneakers.

"People don't understand what these (collectors) go through to get their sneakers," she says.

Many of them sleep out for days for exclusive sneaker launches. She's aiming for an pandora rings canada August launch date. Right now the site is under construction with Air Jordan commercials and scenes from a "White Men Can't Jump" inspired photo shoot styled by Famous running in rotation.

While Famous' ambition and perseverance have surprised her mother, her head turning sense of style has not. Lynn Flowers, a local hairstylist, remembers her daughter making the same unconventional fashion choices for her Barbie dolls that she makes for herself and her online store today. "At the salon, pandora outlet when she comes in, everyone looks at her," Flowers says. "They all say, 'No one but Dennaya can do that.' ''

She's grown so used to the stares that Famous doesn't even notice them anymore. One side of her hair is shaved, pandora jewelry outlet Salt n Pepa style, every one of her neon colored acrylic nails boasts a different bold pattern, the weight of her jewelry competes with that of her tiny frame and most everything she wears is almost as old as her.

When asked why Famous chose the late '80s to mid '90s as a fashion focus, her mother and father both simply say, "They were good years for her." Her parents divorced in '99, when Famous was 12.
