The Most Stylish Films & TV Shows Of 2018
Through the series, Versace (Edgar Ramirez) spends most of his time cooly breezing around after-show parties, his own studio and the palatial Miami Beach mansion that became his base for the last five years of his life. The costume designers on the show studied his wardrobe as held at Los Angeles’ Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising Museum in great detail all the way down to the seams and stitching.
In the majestic opulence of Versace’s lifestyle and the garments he wears, a stark contrast is made against the seedy underworld of his killer Andrew Cunanan (played with spine-tingling creepiness by Darren Criss). Baseball caps and sloppy tees against velvet robes, beige against Versace gold and Fleur de Lys ornamentation. When Versace’s star shone brightly he lived like a modern-day Sun King.
Little Drummer Girl
Contrary to any preconditioned belief, Little Drummer Girl did not contain any drumming. But what we did get was a taut adaptation of a John le Carré classic with globe-trotting Mossad agents seducing a young British woman into becoming a double agent for them. Oh, and it was all set in the 1970s, turtlenecks included.
Seductor-in-chief, Gadi Becker (played by the towering Alexander Skarsgård) is the main well of style inspiration here. Well, it’s hardly going to be the drably suited Martin Kutz (a wonderfully grumpy Michael Shannon). The skimpy swim trunks left much to be desired, a sign that men’s swimwear has certainly progressed (aka become longer) in the last 40 years. But Gadi’s bottle green blouson jacket was bang on trend – a little oversized to fit over Skarsgård’s hulking shoulders and contrast with the slim fitting and tucked in camp collar shirt underneath. It’s proof that while you might still want to stray from the era’s tailoring when it comes to casual wear, there’s still much to take from the seventies.
