Like many of you I'm sure, Faye Dunaway's portrayal of Miss Parker in the legendary film Bonnie and Clyde has been one of my favorite fashion references for years. The combination of Faye's gorgeous 60s cat eye liner and hair with the sleek 30s silhouettes of her skirts and sweaters has been hugely inspiring to me.
Though Faye will always be Bonnie Parker in my mind, Brigitte Bardot's take on the infamous gun moll is also worth a look! She brings a whole 'nother level of late 60s chic to the role alongside Serge Gainsbourg in the music video to their song about the outlaw couple.
Youtube wouldn't let me imbed it, but be sure to watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsTMhScumOE
FABULOUS! Fall is the perfect time to dress like Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever have a girl I'm naming her Bonnie :o)
I love it! The Pendelton skirt is killer! Where are these shots taken?

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the kind comments!
ReplyDeleteQ: Wouldn't it be so cool to be named after her? It's such a pretty name too.
