Aug 21 Annie Hall

This has to be one of my favourite movies and fashion inspirations....Styling Mrs Oliver loves Annie Hall. Check out some street style inspiration from Paris and Stockholm that reflects the mood and let's get androgynous! Annie Hall is a funny, quirky and romantic movie with a huge influence on fashion and style.

Directed by Woody Allen from a screenplay he co-wrote with Marshall Brickman the film stars the director as Alvy "Max" Singer, who tries to figure out the reasons for the failure of his relationship with the movie's eponymous female lead, played by Diane Keaton in a role written specifically for her.

The Annie Hall look became a tremendous fashion craze following the release of the film, as women in the late 1970s began to mimic the character’s appropriation of “menswear” (bowler hats, coats and blazers, baggy pants, and neckties) as newly feminine garments. Keaton herself supplied most of Annie’s wardrobe—the actress ordinarily dressed this way. According to Allen, Annie Hall’s costume designer Ruth Morley had tried to deter her from such unorthodox attire, deeming the look “crazy,” but ultimately lost that battle.

Street style inspiration

Designers like Isabel Marant, Stella McCartney, and Celine often incorporate menswear twists into their collections with beautifully tailored items, slouchy men's style pants, and crisp shirting.

Scarves, neck ties, classic trench coats, loafers, and roll neck sweaters also help to create this androgynous vibe.
