Film directors doing fashion ads – Yorgos Lanthimos does Gucci
Film directors are no strangers to fashion ads. They’re often a beautiful marriage between style and cinema, one that we’re going to visit from time to time in a new series on LauLauLand, Film Directors Doing Fashion Ads (ingeniously titled, I know). First up is Yorgos Lanthinmos, a name that went stratospheric last year thanks […]
Mia Wallace and 90s minimalism in Pulp Fiction
There’s nothing like a cocaine snorting, twist dancing, wife of a gang boss to give you some fashion inspiration. This is Mia Wallace, played by Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. Throughout the film we see Mia rocking some 90s minimal vibes (a trend that is set to soar further into 2020). This particular […]
Regal rebellion – Margot’s style in The Royal Tenenbaums
Margot Tenenbaum. The queen of conservative style blended with an air of rebellion. Margot’s luxurious fur coats and Birkin bag are set against girly barrette hair clips and preppy polo dresses, finished with a melancholic edge thanks to a solid serving of heavy black eyeliner. Gucci is constantly referencing her, she makes moody cool, and […]
Dora Maar gets her moment – At Tate Modern
2020 is going to be the year of Surrealist women.

Surprisingly, although the Surrealists embraced free-thinking, they […]
Puff sleeve tops you need to channel your inner Marie Antoinette.
So I know that recreating a look from Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette is out of the question when it comes to everyday dressing, but there is something you can take from the screen into your wardrobe, and that is puff sleeves. They are everywhere this season, from little milkmaid blouses to power sleeve tees, and […]
The Lisbon Sister – The Virgin Suicides inspired look
I first found The Virgin Suicides when I was about 16. For some reason, I’ve always been drawn to the macabre (I grew up listening to Radiohead), and I was entranced by the dreamy, romantic vision of these five sisters and their beautifully sad story. Although it was the first feature for director Sofia Coppola, […]
Oh, sugar. How to create your own sweet moments from Marie Antoinette.
Watching Marie Antoinette made me want to eat some pastries, go to Versailles and buy a corset (you’d need one after scoffing the cream cakes like the ladies in this film). From the movie dream queen that is Sofia Coppola (Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation), you can only expect beautiful things from this cult classic. […]
