Double Indemnity

When it comes to my fashion design I can draw inspiration from any number of things but mostly they come from movies.
I'm a huge fan of film and in particular movies of the forties and fifties.








Double Indemnity was both the first film noir and the first film starring Barbara Stanwyck that I ever saw and I loved it so much that it inspired me to create a dress after it.

 While the dress may seem simple, it's actually what I wanted to achieve. It's about light, dark, contrast and drama being created through the strong feminine silhouette and the wearer making a strong visual impact.

Dress available here.
