Gunne Sax Gowns and Saddle Shoes in The Virgin Suicides (2000)

"Obviously doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl." Dunstcember Week 2 is here, so get ready to dive into the dark, dreamy world of The Virgin Suicides with your favorite costume design-loving mistresses! This week, we're exploring Sofia Coppola's stunning directorial debut, a movie that has become a cult classic and a major influence on fashion and pop culture. From the Lisbon sisters' Gunne Sax prom dresses to Lux's iconic 'Trip' underwear moment, the costumes in this film are straight-up legendary!

Costume designer Nancy Steiner created looks that are both repressed and aspirational; this film has inspired everyone from Rodarte to Marc Jacobs and our dear Rookie Magazine! (Shoutout Tavi)! Grab your Josh Hartnett-style bell bottoms and your Candies sandals and have a listen, it's gonna be a wild ride...
