I’m a sucker for editorials inspired by films especially when the film of reference is immediately recognisable. I knew Margot Tenenbaum from Wes Anderson’s 2001 film, The Royal Tenenbaums was somewhat a film fashion icon with that dark, shrewd eyeliner, neat side parted blonde bob, vintage fur coats and tennis dresses. However, this is the first fashion shoot I have seen directly inspired by Margot. I think this editorial has just re-ignited my secret desire to swathe around in a vintage fur coat (PETA people, I’m sorry but vintage fur is ok right….?) over super casual polo shirts and A-line skirts. From Z!nk magazine, I think they cast the right model but the Richie Tenenbaum of this shoot is not half as cute as Luke Wilson.
Gorg editoral, gotta get me some fur coat and eyeliner.
Very funny you posted this, because just yesterday i read about how american designer Jose Ramon Reyes’ latest line was inspired by Margot. I actually wrote about it in my blog…this fashion shoot is great, but you’re right, Luke Wilson is much cuter
I love Margot , I love the idea and the concept but I can’t stand that model she’s scowling ! Margot was apparently based on Francoise Sagan I’ve been reading a lot of her work lately. x
I was reading Z!nk in a bookshop yesterday and loved the hell out of that editorial. I may even have to go back and buy it!
Thanks so much for posting this susie. I forgot how much I loved margot tenanbaum’s styling. I completely agree. Love it.
wow. I hav always loved Margot in the royal tenenbaums.. great to see a piece inspired by her. if only we all could pull off the sharp cut bob!!!
You don’t happen to have full-size scans, do you? 😀
I love the 70s tennis influences, mixed with the all-out glamorous fur coat. Very cool.
They forgot her wooden finger. 😉
