Blade Runner, a futuristic film noir directed by Ridley Scott in 1982, has become a sci-fi cult favorite, appreciated by many of its fans for its beautifully realized, past-meets-future and east-meets-west production design. Costumers Michael Kaplan and Charles Knode (who shared a BAFTA costume design award for the film) created looks influenced by everything from 1940s suits by Adrian to early 1980s punk rock and Japanese fashion. The creative mixing of different vintage styles and eras with a healthy dash of sci-fi futurism makes even the extras’ costumes in this film worthy of note.
To channel the retro-future style of Blade Runner this week, show us ladies’ tailored 1940s suits and film noir-era menswear (including actual 1940s and 50s garments and 80s-does-40s/50s-style clothing); dramatic fur and fur-trimmed coats from the 1920s to the 1980s; 1970s-1980s punk and bondage styles (including studded, sheer, and fishnet items, slouchy boots, leather coats and jackets); vintage umbrellas (so much rain in this film!); 1960s-1980s clear plastic clothing and accessories, and 1980s fashions by (or inspired by) Japanese avant-garde designers.
