Stoned: Short on Story, Strong on Fashion
I caught a screening of the upcoming film release Stoned, which chronicles the life and high times of Brian Jones, a founding member of the Stones who ultimately became a rock 'n roll casualty and died at age 27 under mysterious circumstances. The film itself was on the incoherent, chaotic side (I'm sure the makers would say that they were going after that hallucinogenic feeling, but I know shoddy dialogue when I hear it), but I have to give it to the film - the music was great and the costumes were fantastic. It visually captured the flamboyance and rebellion of the Swinging Sixties in London quite well, and more on point for this blog, nailed down style legend/professional rock star girlfriend Anita Pallenberg's costumes. Actress Monet Mazur plays her as Pallenberg's often described: slightly exotic, foreign, elegant and decadent, and she's decked out fantastically in fur coats, Moroccan caftans, strapless dresses, black eyeliner - all the iconic images that have been inspiring Kate Moss for years. Watching the film is like being inside a crazy fashion magazine editorial - it has approximately the same sense of narrative (um, nil) but a keen visual sense.
