Iconic style moments you've never seen, Volume IV. Killer fashion of Laura Mars
My good friend and "Mysterious Skin" author Scott Heim references "Eyes of Laura Mars" at every opportunity he gets, and I don't blame him. This tasty slice of campy fashion horror looks at the disco style of New York with Faye Dunaway as the fashion photographer who can see beyond the silk harem pants and "Studio 54"-ready Halton dresses that she shoots. This is a thriller that goes behind the horror of disco fashion. It also gets kudos for its inclusion of the most mindless and fun disco tune ever recorded, the amazing "Let's All Chant." OK, enough blathering. Let's have a look.
If you don't add this film to your Netflix queue, I'm sending this killer beauty after you.
And just for good measure, how about the stereotypical fashion cat fight. C'mon ladies, ignore that burning car and pull some hair!
