Fashion In Film: The Great Muppet Caper

Since today is my birthday, I wanted to make a post

of one of my favorite movies that I personally enjoy watching

over and over again. The Great Muppet Caper is the type of movie

that is the closest to what I love in a movie personality wise and  

it was the very first movie that made me enjoy fashion so much. 

I was inspired by none other than the glamorous Miss Piggy herself. 

The movie is witty for parents and family members, and filled 

with so much joy and laughter with memorable quotes that

will be remembered for a lifetime for kids. 26 years later, today is the

day that I received this DVD as a gift from my beautiful sister-in-law

and I am so thrilled to share with you my love for this movie!

Landed in London and out on the town!

Now when I watched this as a little girl, I always wanted to go

to the Happiness Hotel all from this song right here:

The gangs all here!

The Good Vibes Janice The Muppet

Janice is my favorite Muppet, her outfits are always so cool

and her random quotes in this film were the absolute best.

I still laugh and quote her to this day!

As Janice is jammin' with her band "The Electric Mayhem"

she is wearing an amazing sweater that I wish I could find

and wear now. Seriously, this is one awesome sweater and

the colors blend marvelously!

The Style Icon Diana Rigg as Lady Holiday!

Exhibit A of the amazing fashion:

Exhibit C:

Avant-garde

Poor Lady Holiday, sometimes she would just breathe and someone

always stole her jewelry!

But if you ask her brother...

"Thieves aren't breathing down your neck"

The Perfect Duo

The Date

Those shoes!

Now this scene has made such an impression on me,

that I had to learn to ride my bike right afterwards.

Today whenever I do ride my bike, I always refer

to the song, "Couldn't We Ride"

Couldn't We Ride

Lady Holiday's Fashion Show

Miss Piggy: The Super Model

It is not a fashion show unless synchronized swimming is involved!

Lotus Flower Miss Piggy

Lotus flower shoes!

Last but never least, it is the motorcycle outfit!! To this day

I still dream of wearing such a cool motorcycle outfit like

hers when I ride with my husband, and who knows maybe

someday I will!

Even Miss Piggy's boots match her white and pink

iridescent outfit!

Sincerely,

Fashion In Film: Breakfast at Tiffany's

Breakfast at Tiffany's Trailer

Though the book and the movie are vastly different, the essence

of how great this book truly is still is emphasized in both versions

in the sense of the free spirit. Although Truman Capote had in mind

 Marilyn Monroe for the role in who he wanted to portray,

it made sense as to why Audrey Hepburn ended up with the renewed
and fairy tale role. 

But a world filled with complexity, eccentricity, glamour combined

 how did this translate so different from the book? 

Simply through the clothes and the environment of the film,

especially with the elegance of Audrey Hepburn outside of Holly.  The film

did not want capture the dark reality of the characters of the book but

instead it wanted to capture the magic and fantasy of who

Holly Golightly could be through Audrey.  There are moments that reflect

Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's world, and it is only through

the random oddities and funny moments within the film.

The scene where Holly Golightly enters the beginning

of the party scene with a sheet as her dress until she decided to change?

It was both risque, minimal, yet elegant it was emphasizing the elaborate and 

tumultuous world of Holly Golightly in book and film.  Was Truman Capote pleased

with this particular take of his book? Not in the least and it is probably what many

authors go through. But one must admit, if this film did not take the turn 

that it did it probably would not have been so monumental. The party scene is filled

with vibrant decadence and reflection of living in the here and now that we continue to

love today.

For instance, this scene I personally loved:

A watch on the ankle has to be the most out of left field scene

I have ever seen in a film and did I want to wear a watch on my

ankle?  Indeed I did!  This is why the film had so much staying

power to this day.  It really reflected the true spirit of a lively party.

Life can be filled with many out of left field moments, even in how we

encounter style. When we see these wild characters

we learn that they are all making the most of what they

have.  

It is a fantastic movie and I would categorize this as my second

favorite Audrey Hepburn film after Funny Face. I am still inspired

by it every time I watch it.  I deeply appreciate the book as well,
and I personally believe the book is ahead of it's times pertaining to the
characters lifestyles and choices.

My Favorite outfits:

My favorite dress!

This scene in particular always makes me laugh!

Hope you enjoyed these outfits as much as I have!
