Cruella (2021) Fashion Explained

  • Опубликовано: 7 июн 2021
  • Cruella is a 2021 Disney movie that reimagines the history of 101 Dalmatians main villain Cruella De Vil, turning her into a budding fashion designer growing up during the 1970s London fashion scene. The movie tried to tap into traditional cinema tropes about the fashion industry, young ingenue has talent, gains favor with established fashion designer, and then decides to get revenge when wronged. I won't say the movie plot nor costumes were revolutionary, but they were a pretty interesting walk through 20th century British fashion history, which I personally loved. Cruella is meant to represent punk aesthetics, alla Vivienne Westwood, while her nemesis the Baroness Von Hellman represents the fashion establishment, like Christian Dior & Chanel. The movie is full of references to Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen, Charles James, John Galliano, Thierry Mugler and more but does that make it a good fashion film?

      which considering this is cruella kinda works for me. we know how her future ends, she becomes the biggest designer & loses her mind wanting a dalmation coat. the punk looks and "i am woman hear me roar" set up her delusion. she thinks she's a rebel, but she's not, & she ends up the villain in the end. that's just me though

      You can't say something can change her personality from this movie to the next one (that would make something like skinning puppies realistic to this character), and then say they actually did leave hints or a cliffhanger, because that actually didn't happen.
      There's nothing in this movie that suggests she is going to become the Cruella of the previous live actions or even the one from the animated movie, period.

    I appreciate that pushback on Liberty being "the most fashionable" store in 70's London. My mother always dressed me in Biba, as a little girl. I may well have been the best-dressed kid in the entire 70's, and photographic evidence backs me up. There's no way any Liberty-outfitted child could have competed with Biba-clad me. Thank you so much for all the work you put into your content. You could just dial it in and rely on charming presentation, but you put in the extra effort to be educational, as well. Thank you.

I wonder whatever happened to those dresses, now. I hope someone's treasuring them, though it saddens me that that someone isn't me. I gave away so many clothes that my mom made for me, because I lacked the skills to alter them, as my body changed with age; I'd give anything to have them back, especially now that I don't have her, any more. She did make a point of leaving me her sewing machine. I need to honour her by learning how to use it.

    The fact that she didn’t wear a fur bothered me. Like that’s what was most impactful about her! I remember watching the original Disney movie cartoon and she had this gigantic coat that almost looked like a mane, it made her look so creepy cause combined with her posture it made her look almost animal like. People being scared of her sending a bad message by wearing fur… she’s literally a villain? Her name is Cruella ffs, why in hell would she be sending a good message? The whole animal rights issue could have been easily solved with synthetic fur. We see guns in movies all the time, I don’t like them I won’t buy one and the ones they use in the movie are fake why can’t the same basic logic be applied with fur as well

      ​@@poonywooon Exactly! Not only is it fiction, but fantasy at that. The movie presented a surreal version of a time and a place, it by no means attempts to be considered anything close to a period piece nor do the same constraints apply. Cruella isn't like "Marie Antoinette" and those Converse sneakers (or the entire wardrobe choices in "Little Women" ) and neither should its fashion analysis since world-building operates under a different set of rules for its creative choices. The Oscar was well-deserved in this case.

      i honestly think the lack of fur was a part of the punk aesthetics they tried to wedge into the movie. punks especially wouldn’t be okay with fur being used, especially because it’s not only cruel- but would make cruella seem more higher class bcuz of how furs have always been used in character portrayal. so all in all furs wouldn’t fit in with th punk ideology nor the fashion within th movie !!

    A trapeze dress with a bias cut does mimic an A-line (and is comfortable while still maintaining a tailored look, it’s my favorite summer office go to with a blazer thrown on to push it further towards business and away from casual), but the Baroness should know there is a difference between the two of she’s claiming to be a classically educated fashion designer. I do have designer friends who wouldn’t know the difference between a trapeze cut and an a-line, but they’re self taught and it’s not like a lot of the fashion terminology for cuts and styles is part of the normal high school coursework.

    • @MintyAndee
      @MintyAndee 3 года назад +10

      An a-line can have a minimal waist in the cut while a trapeze will just go straight from the shoulders and tends to have a more voluminous skirt. A-lines can lean on tailoring to give it shape while a trapeze cut leans on fabric type or manipulation to give it shape (jersey and bias cuts being particularly dominant). I think you could argue a trapeze cut is a type of a-line, but not all a-lines are trapeze cuts.

    Considering that I've never seen any of the other 101 dalmatians or cruella movies and I went in with low expectations...I actually really liked this movie and the fashion didn't really care about character accuracy or anything I just thought it was really fun and actually well crafted but I guess if you're a long time fan of the series youd probably feel differently.
    I was just happy the movie wasn't a snooze fest or had a incomprehensible plot....minus that ending where spoiler
    she falls off a cliff and manages to not only dry off and get out of the water, change clothes in time to make a appearance as Cruella as the baroness is being dragged off to jail....plus the CGI right there was trifling

    For anyone who may be confused as to why she didn't wear any fur.....The movie is supposed to be Cruella in her younger days, before She was the evil Ms. De Vil. She doesn't develop her obsession with fur until she's much older. Also, they end the movie with a cliff hanger, if they are planning on making a 2d one I think that's when they will show Her passion for "The ultimate fur coat!" I hope that makes sense, stay safe everyone :)

    Spoilers:
    In my opinion they did cruella dirty just like Maleficent. She is supposed to be a villain not an antihero.
    They just kept throwing in stuff like her mum dying and her real mom wanting to kill her to make her likable and explaining why she's evil and so made her too relatable.
    On top of that her acting evil just was cringey because you know the movie isn’t on the side of being evil.
    This is why Disney sucks at making villain movies, they’re so used to making good guy/girl movies that they fail the villain movies.

    • @lol-ot4pn
      @lol-ot4pn 3 года назад +83

      They dont suck at making villain movies.
      Its just not what people “prefer” nor is it what THEY want to make.
      The main reason shes evil is because she has blood of someone “evil”.
      Not because her mother died and her real mother wanting to kill her.
      At the end of the movie no one with a half decent brain thinks cruella is someone nice and good and relatable.
      “Antihero” is and always will be a better route when making a good story about someone who mostly has a “negative” personality.
      Because villainy like serial killers, psychopaths, animal cruelty made for the sake of villainy is boring storytelling wise.

      Plus, this video is about fashion which this film *KILLED*

    Thoroughly enjoyed this movie!
    Both Emma's slayed their performances and every time a new outfit showed up I had to gasp
    Also the story was much better than I had anticipated

    I feel like disney should've hired fashion students, experts, and historians to create the costumes. It would've been better and more accurate to the time

      Jenny Beavan was the Costume Designer. She is an award-winning designer, bagging awards from the Academy, BAFTA, and Primetime Emmy among others. I think she knows her stuff.

      @@achillesroblox well we know who she is; she did an excellent job for Mad Max, but some of the looks from Cruella are too subdued… as a big fan of Cruella, I expected a lot more than that.

      It's a fantasy story, it's like saying Game of Thrones wasn't accurate to medieval clothing.

      That would be boring darling😆😆
      Movies only do that when the topic is serious...
      This is fucking Disney... They do this so that we the audience would be amazed of such clothing they have

    I love that you covered this! I saw the trailer and immediately thought of you. There’s a local designer where I live that I was wondering if you would cover/review? Her name is Luly Yang and she has one piece in particular that I love. I believe it’s called the monarch gown, and also one with piano keys on the skirt.
