DIOR AND MORE: PREVIEW OF FASHION ON FILM AND TV

What's more fun than wearing high-end designer clothing that you scored for deep discounts at your fave consignment store, Naples, True Fashionistas? Not much, of course, but right up there are movies and TV shows about our darling designers. We love it when filmmakers give a nod to the artistic talents of fashion's haute couture creators, be it their somewhat complicated backstories (House of Gucci, 2021) or tragic endings (McQueen, 2018, the story of Alexander McQueen), plus many more over the years.

As fashion is ever-evolving, so are the stories about it. Here are some of the fashion-focused releases to be looking out for over the next few months, so you can plan accordingly and, you know, dress for the occasion!

THE INFLUENCE OF CLAIRE MCCARDELL

THE INFLUENCE OF CLAIRE MCCARDELL

We're taking a moment to give a nod to one of the many True Fashionista designers of a bygone generation that have influenced today's fashion stars. The name Claire McCardell may not immediately be as legendary as long-established brands like DiorHermès, or Louis Vuitton. Still, her designs significantly impacted American fashion in the 20th century. Her influence remains among the array of luxury designers found in the vast collection at True Fashionistas, Florida's largest designer resale and consignment store. 
THE POWER SUIT REDEFINED

THE POWER SUIT REDEFINED

It's 2022, and just like that annoying ex and face masks, the power suit is back! Before flashes of 1980s gigantic shoulders send you scurrying to hide in the recesses of your walk-in closet, no worries, True Fashionistas! It's just the suit, not the football pads beneath, that showed up on spring fashion show runways and now appear on the racks of your fave consignment store, Naples, True Fashionistas.

HISTORY OF COCO CHANEL |  truefashionistas | Women’s Fashion and Clothing

HISTORY OF COCO CHANEL

Yes of course Coco Chanel is synonymous with all that is True Fashionista, and label namesake Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel led quite the adventurous and exciting life, breaking ground and introducing now legendary items and looks that we just could not do without in our style pursuits. Even now, in the pandemic and most cautiously, post-pandemic era, we continue to use Chanel as a standard against which many fashion entities are measured.
