I recently watched the cult movie Talented Mr. Ripley again after years and its a great style inspiration for summer as my summer style is all about Italian style, colours and prints on prints. The costumes of the film are über good, filmed in Italy and all that glamour of the era and dolce vita life of rich heir Dickie and his girlfriend, Marge Sherwood (Gwyneth Paltrow). Tom Ripley quickly adjusts to glamourous Dolce vita life and stays in Italy.
And while alot of mysterious things happen in the film, costume designers Ann Roth and Gary Jones, won an Oscar for their work creating wardrobe envy. They create the perfect mix of Riviera-ready resort everyday life vacation clothes and creating Marge a style icon of Italian dolce vita lifestyle- girlfriend of a rich heir. Southern Italy in the ’50s in the film like a real time capsule reflected perfectly with costumes. Marge’s swimsuits, wage espadrilles, colour prints suiting Italian style fits perfect with spending the holidays tanning in San Remo (I was there two years ago in summer *cries*) , all characters have über style in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Great inspiration for summer and vacation style and if you will visit Italy this summer its a double win to check Marge's style.
imdb summary of the film: In late 1950s New York, Tom Ripley, a young underachiever, is sent to Italy to retrieve Dickie Greenleaf, a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy. But when the errand fails, Ripley takes extreme measures.
