1950's Fashion through 'Rear Window'

 Alfred  Hitchcock's film 'Rear Window ' is an unforgettable film from the 1950's.  While we could talk about how the film was considered one of Hitchcock's best, I really just want to talk about Grace Kelly, and her exquisite wardrobe though out this film. It was 1954 and you could not leave your house without your best string of pearls, red lipstick, and a well tailored, extremely feminine ensemble. My love for this era continues to get stronger, especially when I watch films from that time frame.  We have been looking to fashion in film for years, and in this film they were not shy about glamming up Grace Kelly. In every scene she has a fabulous wardrobe change, each one more wonderful than the next, and as exciting as the last.

Since we are living in a time where anything really goes, it is not too hard to find 1950's inspired looks. Some websites to check out with some vintage appeal:

And don't be afraid to go to your local thrift stores. You never know what cool things you will find.
