Post #81: Fashion on Film - Runaround Sue


From the tenth second of G-Eazy's "Runaround Sue" music video, I was captivated. The vintage costume of the lead girl reminded me of all of the reasons why I not only love fashion, but its history as well. The vintage-inspired dresses worn by all of the characters not only look good within the context of the video, but have the ability to transcend time (I can definitely see them showing up at sororities at the very least). At a point in history where fashion is taking inspiration from shows like Mad Men, the fashion in this film is certainly something to take note of. The costumes were designed by Elsa Brodmann, a New Orleans native with a penchant for freelance costume design and distinctive style. Creater/Designer of the clothing line Ottilie Brodmann, she is definitely a designer to watch.
