If I let you change me, will that do it? If I do what you tell me, will you love me?

💝Throughout February, I’ll be posting 28 unforgettable outfits from film and television that I love. I even made an original logo for this series! My seventh FebruWEARy pick: Edith Head’s brilliant and beautiful costumes for Kim Novak in Vertigo really elevated the story, with each outfit having a clear narrative objective that it effortlessly embodied. While the gray skirt suit is iconic and important to the plot, it’s this green ensemble that she wears as Judy Barton is first introduced that has always stayed with me. And ironically, this look is supposed to be unattractive—a downgrade. It serves as a dramatic shift in tone that the entire film hinges on. Without any context, this look is really charming, I think— I’d absolutely wear this! However, in the film, it abruptly divides Novak’s duel roles of Judy Barton and Madeleine Elster (it is no secret that Novak plays both). She doesn’t get enough credit for how impressively she pulls off something most actors would find impossible to so subtly convey. Alfred Hitchcock always has a very particular vision for every aspect of his films, especially when it comes to his precious “blondes,” as he feels the audience finds them more trustworthy and therefore more devastated if they are deceitful and or the victim. Novak gets the distinction of living on both ends of the spectrum as a blonde and a brunette in Vertigo. Judy’s first outfit is sadly domestic and frumpy compared to Madeleine’s chic and sleek looks. Judy’s polka dots, monochromatic green tones, and commercial garments are so mundane compared to Madeleine’s sophisticated, classic silhouettes in black, white, and gray that are modest yet sexy. Plus, Hitchcock famously associated green with… maybe I should stop my analysis before some of my insights about this look accidentally give something away for those who have yet to see it. Is there such thing as “spoiling” a movie that was made in 1958? It’s a masterpiece and I wouldn’t want to give anything too big away incase you want to see it. 💘 #februweary #fashion #puns #myart #vertigo #classicfilm #kimnovak #judybarton #hitchcock #alfredhitchcock #edithhead https://www.instagram.com/p/CorI6x0u5Zd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

inktober day 19. prompt - dizzy. Judy from Vertigo. after i finished watching this amazing movie, i got a message from my sis who happened to send me a link to a ghost band version of BTS Save Me on soundcloud and it dawned on me that is the perfect song to draw Vertigo fanart to! 😊 "Save me, save me, I need your love before I fall, fall."
