It seems Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller are doing for floral "tea" dresses, wellingtons, and cardigans what Sarah Jessica Parker did for flowery caftans, gladiator heels and scarves - put them on the season's fashion wishlist.
The movie, "The Edge of Love," unlike SATC, is not a fashion flick but the two actresses apparently look so good in the film's wartime outfits that the skirts, blouses and coats of the 1940s are now all the rage. According to my research, when the film opened in Britain in June, it sparked copycat looks along London's high streets - fast-fashion chain Oasis created an entire Edge of Love collection, and H&M and Topshop were racked to overflowing with '40s-style "tea" dresses, pleated skirts and chunky knits.
This is good news for me and my old clothes in my closet, despite not knowing what a "tea" dress is. I have a floral dress circa 1940 (and I have my chai tea or supper when wearing it) as well as chunky knits from Ireland and the US, so I'll be in front of the fashion line!
Now if only I can find my old Blundstones...
