«Pretty Woman» turns 35 years oldthe film in which Julia Roberts became a star of the arm of Richard Gere, loaded with bags with a clothes that have not gone out of style.
«It is difficult for a film to age well if the fashion of the moment is followed and this has not been the case,» explains «Pretty Woman» Cristina Rodríguez, Spanish series costume designer for which she was nominated for several Goya Spanish cinema awards
The designs of «Pretty Woman» are timeless because the costume designer, Marilyn Vance, did a work «splendid, using aesthetic elements not only of the nineties, and that makes it look like it was filmed yesterday,» Rodriguez continues.
Almost all the costumes was made for the actress because, When dealing with a prostitutethe signatures did not want to assign. «Gere was a star, but she was not yet well known.»
Rodríguez remembers that the white and blue miniskirt dress of the first sequence and the poster of the film, with very high patent leather boots and railway cap, was a design made for the actress «Because they didn’t find the right one.»
In it its two worlds were mixed, «the street and naif», which is why very striking colors were used, although the silhouette did; A two pieces that unite with an washer the upper part to the skirt, with open sides, such as many of the designs that can be seen today in the catwalks or the streets of any city.

«It is absolutely in force. It has a classic fifties silhouette very wearable for all, for those with a wide hip and also attractive to the thinnest,» Rodríguez describes, which highlights that brown is a tone that does not photograph very well but, when seasoned with a white mole, «everything changes.»
If we add the canotier and gloves, they give it The «Perfect» touch To go to the races «, a reference» very (the races) of Ascot «, in the United Kingdom.

Garments that are iconic
All garments, one way or another, have their ‘revival’. This is the case of the XXL jackets with shoulder pads that looks together with Bermuda or the Red with flaps of the beginning of the film.
The red dress with which Roberts goes to the opera was (Rodríguez) another of Marilyn Vance’s bets, then The director asked to be black.
«Black is a classic of elegance, but Vance designed it in red, and when they saw it there was no doubt that this was the tone. It’s an incredible, wonderful dress«, And he wonders if, finally, it would have been black, would it be just as iconic?
