Always Be My Maybe
Costume designer Leesa Evans dressed this cast impeccably. From classic '90s to chic restaurateur to freaking KEANU this movie has some great looks...and KEANU. Ali Wong and Randall Park wrote and star in one of the best Bay Area rom-coms. #Vice Breaker *We also forgot Add To Cart! We both added Sasha Tran/Ali Wong inspired Fashion Reading Glasses: https://amzn.to/2O0z5Dd

Troop Beverly Hills
We're in agreement that this film has it all. Theadora Van Runkle was the costume designer responsible for taking risks with Phyllis Nefler's over the top '80s Rodeo Drive socialite fashion and creating looks we're still talking about 30 years later! We've found our official FishnetFlix mascot film and it's Troop Beverly Hills!

Boomerang
Was Boomerang the first rom-com with an all black cast and crew? We know it has a phenomenal soundtrack and all of the looks that costume designer Francine Jamison-Tanchuck created were très magnifique! *Strangé voice* Boomerang is not only worth the watch but worth the $ of a purchase/rental.

The Sweetest Thing
We couldn't get enough of costume designer Denise Wingate (Cruel Intentions) so we decided have some fun this week with The Sweetest Thing, an under appreciated comedic classic filled with friendship and DIQ starring Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate,Selma Blair, Thomas Jane, and Jason Bateman as a problematic bro/BFF

Empire Records
We decided to press play on Empire Records for this week flick. We're rocking with this classic that inspired many '90s kids looks thanks to Susan Lyall (200 Cigarettes) and her ability to communicate each character's artsy angst via clothing.
