Deyn On Screen

From Style.

Agyness Deyn, whose film debut premiered Friday night at the Bowery Hotel, had butterflies in her stomach—never mind that Mean to Me, a short written and directed by artist Peter McGough, has the Manchester-born model playing a steely 1930’s femme fatale. “I’m so nervous!” Deyn fretted before the screening.

McGough’s 12-minute film noir is drenched in period glamour, with gorgeous sets and a wardrobe by Zac Posen. (In keeping with the fashionable theme, Guerlain and Mikimoto co-sponsored the event.) Still, it’s a major job shift for Deyn, who’s now skipping along the same path that Lauren Bacall, Audrey Hepburn, and Charlize Theron took from model to movie star—not so much A to B, perhaps, as A to Z. “For me, acting is the opposite,” Deyn explained. “With modeling, I don’t think you’re allowed to feel vulnerable. When I’m acting, I’m risking, I’m in touch with all these emotions. I feel like I have to be in a really vulnerable place.”

Not that that’s a problem for Deyn, who’s eager to peel off the Posen dresses and thick makeup for her next role, which she said she wants to be “something really gritty, intense—a bit of a tortured-soul kind of thing.” Hear that, Lars von Trier?

1987, 1988, 1989 Fashion Trends

From Zimbio.

Acid-washed jeans and denim jackets became popular with both men and women. Acid washing is the process of chemically bleaching the denim, breaking down the fiber of material and forcing the dye to fade, thus leaving undertones of the original dye evidenced by pale white streaks or spots on the material. This became associated with the heavy metal trend (called "hair metal" in later decades for the large frizzy coiffures worn by both male and female enthusiasts).

One popular look for men in the late 1980s was Hawaiian shirts. Often they would be complemented with sport coats with stitched looks. They were often gray and white, and were worn for both casual and business settings. When worn in the business setting, they were often worn without a tie.

Leather jackets popularized by Michael Jackson and films like The Lost Boys were often studded and left undone to create a messier look. Oversized, slouch shouldered faded leather jackets with puffy sleeves from Europe caught on.

Gloves, sometimes fingerless, were fairly common.

Style Council: Anna Introduces You to Aerial Fabric Read

From Seventeen!

Video

For the Style Council photo shoot, I brought in a special item: a length of my red fabric. I practice aerial fabric, a form of aerial circus art, so the fabric is used when I perform.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the art form, it involves climbing up the rigged fabric and then performing tricks. It's essentially a dance in the air, but I also see it as a way to explore the movement of the body in a very unique way. It's also a fun way to defeat gravity, if only for a moment, since many of the drops and tricks I do use gravity to propel me downwards (safely, of course!).

I've been practicing fabric for seven years, so it is very much a part of me. Even my style has been influenced by what I wear when practicing fabric; I tend to incorporate spandex, tights, leotards, and even colorful legwarmers into my everyday outfits!

So, what influences your style? Sound off in the comments!

Purple was the trend for the 2010 Golden Globes!

More recently purple has been seen on many runways and is becoming a growing popular color in the fashion world.
