After reflecting on FLY emerging designer, Bloody Edith, I noticed that her designs are inspired by the 1940’s and 1950’s. Bloody Edith is the brand of Milanese fashion designer Laura Distefano. The older, retro vintage vibe of her clothes led me to try and reinterpret her vision with things I already had in my closet. The 40’s and 50’s are famous for having different themes: nautical, sporty, pinup, etc. The key is to have fun and play with long dresses and skirts, red lips, nice jewelry, head pieces, heels, and hair put up or back. I chose to put together this burnt orange midi dress that is flowy on the top but tighter around the legs/waist. I incorporated a vintage glove that has an older pattern on it, and added a vintage gold 1960’s watch. I also decided to add a red necklace that has a lot of jewels, staying in the warmer color range. For the shoes, I paired this dress with pointed nude heels, which made the outfit look more vintage. For the makeup, I kept it to a bare minimum and mainly focused on a red lip color as a reference to the Bloody Edith style. I hope the look inspires you to try a retro outfit and have fun with what you already have in your closet!
