On the occasion of the exhibition currently being dedicated to her by the Cinema George V Magazine pays tribute to its favorite actresses with their unforgettable chic. “I feel like my characters could go from one of my films to another and they would naturally fit in,” Wes Anderson told George V Magazine in 2023.
Imagine Margot Tenenbaum (Gwyneth Paltrow), permanently carrying a Hermès Birkin bag , lounging next to ‘Jack’s girlfriend’ (Natalie Portman), in a yellow bathrobe in Hotel Chevalier (the prequel to the 2007 film The Darjeeling Limited). Or Tilda Swinton , wrapped in her cape as a social worker in Moonrise Kingdom (2012), chatting with Eleanor Zissou , played by Anjelica Huston in The Life Aquatic (2004).
The cult looks of Wes Anderson’s heroines
Elsewhere, the distinctive Chelsea collar of Suzy Bishop’s pink dress in Moonrise Kingdom – created by costume designer Kasia Walicka-Maimone – could have come straight out of summer 2020’s cottagecore trend. While Owen and Luke Wilson ‘s bowling shirts in
Bottle Rocket (1996) signaled a predilection for Prada silhouettes, with whom the director went on to collaborate, curating an exhibition at the Prada Foundation in Milan (and directing the Prada Candy campaign ).
Wes Anderson‘s Bar Luce —a café he designed in 2015 using “the exact opposite approach to what I usually do for my film sets”—has also fulfilled his childhood ambition: to become an architect.
