Wednesday, Cruella, Eva Kant and Catwoman: fashion in the sign of the Dark ladies

Fashionistas listening: spring this year does not rhyme with pastel shades. Or, at least, not exclusively. Among the nuances to focus on? Just the one that has always been considered the most Autumn / Winter of all, the black. Omnipresent all year round, of course, for the upcoming summer, however, it’s just a trend. The clues? Four characters comics e cartoon, from the DNA extremely dark, which are about to be revived on the big and small screen. Let’s talk about one squad of villain equipped, among other things, with a great sense of style.

Let’s start with Cruella (in Italy better known as The cruel): the first photos and the trailer of the live-action Disney centered around her, played by Emma Stone, per make us understand that the film, due out in May, definitely has what it takes. We all have in front of our eyes, of course, the fur coat protagonist of the cartoon complete with red gloves while hanging with nail polish and lipstick, and, OBVIOUS, the mythological one Glenn Close which, wrapped in tailor and two-tone outerwear with killer shoulder pads, he gave life to them in two films in the early 90s.

But version 4.0 promises as many sartorial pearls: the new Cruella is all about a couture balance between punk and chic. The film, moreover, is set in London in the rebels of the 70s: the protagonist is an aspiring stylist whose look will evolve becoming more and more rebel. We see it in leather jacket, long skirt and a fiery red mermaid dress that already makes your head spin. All bet combined with the legendary hair black & white.

The news of the brand new was also chirped via Twitter teen drama Netflix branded that will revolve all around the figure of Wednesday Addams. It will be a coming-of-age story with dark tones, with that mix of horror, humor and grotesque that are in the strings of the original Addams family and also in those of Tim Burton, director of the series. Wednesday, this is the title, will not be a child like the unforgettable Christina Ricci in the movie The Addams Family of 1991, but a girl, student of the Nevermore Academy committed to solving an ancient mystery.

At the moment the name of the actress who will impersonate her has not yet been leaked, but the silhouette of the poster speaks clear, even dark: he looks good goth is preserved. It is impossible, moreover, to separate the character from him black dresses with contrasting Peter Pan collars, long-sleeved blouses and dresses with bell skirts, as identifying as her satanic braids.

In the sign of black, but declined in a fetish key, the wardrobe of Catwoman. We all remember the interpretations of Halle Berry e Michelle Pfeiffer, to which we will now add that of Zöe Kravitz in the movie The Batman, due out in June. And the question is only one: how will Selina Kyle (dressed) be aka the most fashionable cat woman on the planet? After the Pfeiffer vinyl latex onesie and the scratchy ensemble corset / gloves / leather pants from Berry, we expect as many tight outfits with a bondage mood. The first photos from the set promise sparks: in one scene the actress wears fascinator chic, biting overcoat paired with black boots with a very high heel. And we’re already purring.

Black and tight jumpsuit also for Eva Kant, the most elegant thief ever. We will see her again soon (but we still don’t know when) in the film Diabolik of the Manetti Bros. with the appearance of Miriam Leone. Still few images of the new Eve but it seems to us that the style 50% dark 50% the page of the character of the famous comics of the 60s will not (fortunately) be upset. Refined and timeless like her Grace Kelly bun, composed not only of jumpsuit from “work” but also elegant evening longdresses, ankle boots, jewelery and tailored clutches, it will surely make you dream (of having your entire closet).

In the gallery we have proposed four shades of black, inspired by dark ladies screen and the summer collections. Black is the new black it is the pure avant-garde this Spring.
