marie antoinette

Though the costumes of Marie Antoinette are corrected for her time and life(18th century), it’s all in modern takes: while trying on shoes it’s not only her jeweled satin heels that are in focus but a pair of All Star Converse somehow ended up in the mix, women are cooing over cameos and feather fans as you’ll see women walking into Barney’s or Colette windowshopping for shoes and purses doing today. The images of Marie Antoinette are like a long fashion story; we might as well have seen this in still life on the pages of Vogue or any other pompous fashion magazine. Coppola goes to her every strenght to vivify a contemporary mood of frustration, contemplation and perversion regarding the heated I-want-I-need mood using music and sets that clash into a beautiful self-involvment that attracts and tempts its viewer.
