Today’s the the first post of what’s going to be a long running Tarantino appreciation tag. He’s my FAVORITE director and completely formative in my interest in film, I owe a lot to his work. We’re going to start out with a early film that he wrote but Tony Scott directed, 1993’s “True Romance.”
The film is a love story… Tarantino style. A call girl and an Elvis fanatic get married after a night together. They kill a pimp, steal his suitcase of cocaine and hit the road to LA, you know your usual romance story.
Alabama and Clarence Worley (Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater) styles scream trailer trash chic but more like if they were the bright pink lawn flamingos in the yard. Dripping in bright blues, pinks and reds and adorned in dollar store plastic sunglasses, they are hard to miss even while on the run.
Electric baby blue is Alabama’s color, she wears this and an occasional hot pink several times throughout the film. She’s also a big fan of animal print, including a cheetah coat, hot pink cheetah leggings and my favorite, a cow hide skirt. She looks crazy but she totally owns it.
Clarence’s color is red. His style is also really fun and colorful, I mean his main outfit is a hawaiian shirt and he rocks the tackiest gold glasses.
Alright so obviously you’re obsessed with the costume design and now you’re wondering where you can also get a mini suitcase purse. Fear not, heres some items that you look so cool
