There is so much back-story to the movie and you point that out so interestingly. I'm a fan of Travilla's too and his designs for VOTD were fantastic.Christian Esquevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442827724576856379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27448101.post-69535596670204752292013-03-31T20:57:13.329-05:002013-03-31T20:57:13.329-05:00Great post and lovely contextual photos.

I think I have seen the Susan Hayward pantsuit somewhere else before in person (maybe it was in the same place).<br /><br />I am a fan of 1960's fashion in all its forms.

How do they get their hair like that?<br />While visually pleasing,I will say the book is much better than this film.

My parents took me with them when I was like 5 or 6 to see it (what? no babysitters around back then???) and I remember it vaguely. <br /><br />I know it's one of your favorites and I love the behind the scenes look at it. <3Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010635183616220660noreply@blogger.com
