NEXT: The Runaways Fashion
The Runaways movie hits theaters this Friday!
(In fact, the New York premiere is going down this very moment)
.
Kristen Stewart plays Joan Jett, & Dakota Fanning is Cherie Currie:
.
Yea, awesome, everyone knows…let’s cut to the fashion.
.
Costume designer, Carol Beadle spoke with Steffie Nelson of This Is Brand X about…you guessed it, the costumes for The Runaways movie. “An original ’70s-era Bowie belt buckle made by Currie was revered as the holy grail of accessories on set. Beadle dressed Fanning in it ‘as much as I possibly could,’ and the actress cites it as one of her favorite pieces.” Taking a look back at some of Brad Elterman’s old photos, it becomes apparent that Cherie actually had many David Bowie belts:

Another David Bowie belt, slightly different from the one above:
.
“Platform boots of every height, color and texture (including an especially fabulous vintage pair of green leather with tan snakeskin trim) were bought, rented and commissioned from Andre #1, a custom cobbler on Sunset who made boots for KISS and the Runaways and still had some of the original lasts from the all-girl band. Beadle had Fanning’s corset made by Trashy Lingerie on Cahuenga ‘because it seemed the most appropriate place,’ she says with a smile.”
.
Cherie and Joan in Platforms:
“‘Platforms are huge right now,’ says Beadle, who is in the midst of designing her own shoe line. ‘You’ll see the really big ones we used in The Runaways this Fall,’ she says. And Fanning is already ahead of the curve. She got to keep a pair of silver platform boots that she wore in the film and adds: ‘I’m just waiting for the right time to whip those out.’”
.
More platforms from the movie:

And just for fun, more photos of The Runaways (for the most part, shot by Brad Elterman)

^Oh, you’re clever.

WANT: Sara’s Six For Spring
Six Things I want For Spring
.
This tiny harmonica on a funky industrial style chain is my ideal accessory–simple and versatile so that it can be worn regularly, but with just enough originality and spunk to stand out.
.
This navy washed leather Sissi Rossi bag is like nothing I’ve ever seen. The pretty blue color reminds me that summer is getting closer, and this is just the bag I’d love to ring in the season with. Plus, it looks like it could contain everything I need when I run around New York.
.
This pattern captivated me from the first time I saw it. I have an ongoing addiction to floral but the red is bolder than most of my softer, pastel pieces. It could just as easily work in the daytime with a white t-shirt and flats, as at night with a silky top and heels.
.
This summery lace top is simply elegant. I have a continual penchant for Joie, and this most recent collection is no exception. The sleeves are in tune with the current lace trend (it’s everywhere!), but it’s a bit more feminine than some of the others I have seen.
Even though these are classic, I want to highlight them for my spring fashion wish list. I neeeeed to add a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses to my small collection, and when I tried these on the other day I fell in love. They could make any outfit.
.
The ubiquitous shawl sweater has quickly became one of my favorite trends of the past year. This spring adaptation of it is not only an incredibly versatile color but also falls so nicely (yes, I have longingly tried it on). On warm days, it could even be a jacket.

LOVE: Amanda Seyfried for Chloe
Amanda Seyfried wore a RM by Roland Mouret Isa dress to the premiere of Chloe last night.
^I beg you, please do a google search for the meaning of her foot tattoo it’s funny.
.
.
I like the blue and black against her super pale skin. Four for you Amanda Seyfried!

NEXT: Alexander Wang Darla Pyramid Clutch
Not too long ago, the Alexander Wang Coco Duffle was nearly impossible to find. Its popularity made it an endangered species of some sort. Since then, the Coco has evolved into the quilted Rocco, the Diego Bucket, and finally…
.
The Darla Pyramid Clutch
.
It’s overpriced, a bit ugly, and totally impractical. Therefore I must have one. I would refer to it as “The Darla” in public, and wear it every day until all the studs fell off (at which point I’d hold a funeral just like this).

Miu Miu Fall 2010 RTW collection:

.
.
Of course…flowers, bows, and buckles ensued:
.
.
.
I know the Fall 2010 collection is supposed to be 60s Mod-inspired, with the square toes, and shapeless dress silhouettes. But something about Miu Miu consistently reminds me of Lolita– the ‘97 version with Dominique Swain.

LOVE: Liberty of London for Target
Liberty of London collaborations just keep rolling in (or maybe I should say popping up–as in the pop up store). Past collaborations have included Nike, Hermès, and M.A.C. Cosmetics:

Come March 14th, Target can be added to the list. That’s March 14th, as in this Sunday, as in the day after tomorrow!
Take a look at some of the Liberty of London for Target collection:

.
.
So, to summarize, you can go to the beach in a Liberty for Target bathing suit, sit under a Liberty for Target umbrella, ride home on your Liberty for Target bike, sip some tea from your Liberty for Target tea cup, break open your Liberty for Target piggy bank, to buy a Liberty for Target candle. Longest run on sentence ever? Surprisingly there’s even more… pillows, shirts, ties, dresses, etc.
.
You know where I’ll be Sunday morning.

NEXT: The Runaways Premiere Fashion
On March 11th, The Runaways movie premiered in Los Angeles.
.
.
Kristen wore a pink Doo.Ri dress from the Spring 2010 collection,
and Dakota wore Valentino Fall 2009 Couture:
^Dakota’s stylist chose to remove the feathers on the shoulders
.
^Thankfully there wasn’t any blue lipstick on the red carpet…
.
.
Here’s a shot from the after party.
Funny how Dakota stayed in Valentino and Kristen changed into jeans.
