okay so this post probably has nothing to do with fashion. but when you're trapped inside a house for weeks on end with no taste of the outside world. it gets easy to mope 80% of my time.
and my moms sick again so
that's doesn't help at all.
but in these weeks of seclusion,
I've been finishing off the Twilight Saga. I'm more than half way through Breaking Dawn (the last book). and Since the movie for the first book (Twilight) is coming out next month. my minds kind of been on the creative run with the look and feel of the book along with the movie. Since the book is my imaginations picturing of the events and the movie is the physical
manifestation of everything i pictured, it's like an artists
Ecstasy. that might sounded a little blunt. but the movie is fit so well to everything i imagined, it's
unbelievable. i can't even do that with photography or fashion.
haha it feels like some psychic vision of some sort. okay but beyond that....
since the book is obviously about Vampires (what isn't these days), you automatically think the traditional Goth-Victorian look. But since Twilight is set in a rainy small town in Washington. Everything is more set around the Jade greens on the surrounding forests, and the way the greens shift as the weather changes. Now, on the characters influence of the style. The main character Bella, is described as somewhat of a plain girl. Since she even sees make up as a waste of time. But the movies depiction or her style is closer to the
enviorment. With
burgundys, mossy greens, browns, and other arrays of navy. Most of the actual pieces are
henleys, coats, and corduroys. The style really suits "plain" Bella, and it was
glamorized so it'd be more suited for the teen crowd. They kept true to her
character. As for Bella's soon-to-be Other Half, Edward (vampire). They did a way better job with his style than the book ever described. Much better. From the movies interpretation, the slightly wrinkled button-ups with rolled up sleeves,
traditionally navy pea-coats, and shades of grays, blues, whites, and (rarely) black. With every combination of those colors in between. A very big change from the books rendering of his style. I cringed when i saw the words "tan leather jacket" and "white turtleneck".
Definitely cringe-worthy.
As for the some what minor characters, The
Cullen's ("vegetarian vampires"), they're style is strictly designer due to one of
the family members obsession with fashion. My favorite Cullen, Alice. She never lets her family where the same outfit twice, and stocks the house with new clothes as often as possible. Though the
Cullen's' style isn't described much throughout the books (not including Alice) the most clear idea of there style is in the movies
adaptation of their characters. I'm
somewhat disappointed in how they dressed Alice. She's described as a graceful, pixie like, and with an undying love for fashion. She always gave off the "edgy" style. You could totally picture her in Alexander Wang. But, since the book/movie is set in a small town, they probably had to tone down the characters
haute couture to aid in the facade they had to keep up. Since their inhuman,
destracting beauty is enough as it is.
alright so there was my rant.
