From 1998 to 2004, single beauty writer Carey on HBO's hit "Sex and the City" made every drum beat with her expensive high heels recorded by the women watching the show. That sound is the march of desire. Until now, they have always remembered that the best weapon to achieve desire is composed of shoes, bags, coats, earrings, and necklaces that carry desire.
More than ten years have passed, and the fashion trend of "Sex and the City" is still enthusiastic. Even if the original cast squeezed the remaining value of the series with two movie versions in 2008 and 2010, they still couldn't stop the fashion icon from staying. However, considering that the combined age of the four sexy actresses led by Sarah Jessica Parker is over 200 years old, and the relationship between Kelly and Mr.BIG for more than ten years ended in a wedding, The continued reproduction of the show is already in jeopardy, but the CW station, which is good at creating fashion icons for boys and girls, has made "Sex and the City" a reverse time evolution in the form of a prequel, and the story will be aimed at Kelly Bradshaw in 1984. , only 16 years old, her high school life in suburban Connecticut, and her fresh experience in Manhattan after that, the series has a rather girly name: "The Kelly Diary."
Can retro 80s create a new fashion legend
"Kelly Diary" is adapted from the work of the same name by Candice Bushnell, the original author of "Sex and the City", starting from Kelly's girlhood and telling the story of her high school in the suburbs At the age of 16, she had just suffered the blow of her mother's death, her father could not cope with the mutation, and her sister was even more rebellious. Although the handsome transfer student brought her the excitement of her first love, Kelly still couldn't lift her spirits until her father proposed Send her to a Manhattan law firm for an internship. The bizarreness and bustling fashion of New York fascinated Kerry for the first time. When she first arrived in the big city, she fell in love with the lifestyle and modern atmosphere of Manhattan, and joined this fashion legend regardless of everything.
Fashion film and television works have always been the driving force of fashion. From "Sex and the City" to "Gossip Girl", they have achieved great success in the creation of famous Chinese clothing brands. Those gorgeous mottled and desperate eye-catching, provocative is every A woman's inner dream, Kelly's high-heeled shoes and clothes are more moving than her love, and designer bags and British style are more attractive than the plot. In this case, the old-fashioned story of sparrows turning into phoenixes, Cinderella When you meet the prince's love, you can justifiably transform into an extraordinary money-sucking family under the repackaging and reproduction of different types of fashionable clothes.
As a new drama promoted by CW this fall, "Kelly Diary" solemnly played the name of the behind-the-scenes design team of "Gossip Girl", and showed the various styles of "Girl Kelly" in more detail. The popular elements are beautifully reflected in tutu skirts, polka-dot shirts and sequins, and the popular retro trend is coming out. The ambition of this show in fashion appeal is evident. However, the "Kelly Diary", which has such ambitions, seems a bit controversial under the pressure of many fashion dramas. Foreign media believe that this drama is a bit cheap and cheap, and the design of Chinese clothing has no reference and eye-catching, and the overall lack of Big-name theater aura.
And this kind of fashion prequel drama that evolved into the 1980s in reverse time. The CW had a precedent of failure as early as "Gossip Girl". It originally hoped to produce a derivative drama based on the experience of the heroine Selina's mother in the 1980s. The heroine has no audience, no strong plot, and the overly exaggerated and mediocre costumes of the last century challenge the aesthetics of modern people and have been criticized and cut in half.
Can post-90s girls play fashion icon Kerry?
In fact, as early as 2010, the director of the "Sex and the City" film version, Michael Patrick King, said that he was considering a "Sex and the City" prequel, and the film would feature another new work by Candice Bushnell. Based on "Summer City", the project is still shelved, and there was a huge controversy about who would play Kelly at the time. Blake Lively and Miley Cyrus both entered the "Girl Kelly" "Charlotte" actor Kristin Davis said: "I'm not interested in "Sex and the City", we are who we are, and our previous TV series have put our Enough discussion of history, I can't figure out why they still cook cold rice? What's even more strange is that other actors come to play us, it feels inexplicable." Sarah Jessica Parker said disdainfully: "Even if the prequel is made into a movie, and " "Sex and the City" has nothing to do with it, the new movie will not be able to reproduce the characters."
These protests and controversy undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the casting of the later drama version of "Girl Kelly", while Anna Sophia, a girl born in 1993, faced great pressure. Rob became the lucky one who went up to the wind. As a child star who has worked hard for many years in the entertainment industry, Anna Sophia's acting career started from the moment she stepped on the stage at the age of five. Her most famous big screen The debut was many years ago in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" as the playful little girl Violet, and then through "Suspicious Thomas", "Dream Run", "Sleepwalking", "The Teleporter" As well as the wonderful performances in a series of films such as "Bridge to Wonderland", she became a child star as beloved as Dakota Fanning. In the inspirational film "Soul Surfing" released in early 2011, she played a strong disabled girl who finally conquered despair, and the film critics were not good, but Anna Sophia's beauty was unforgettable.
It is also a risky move for CW to choose her to play fashion icon Kelly. After all, her round face and round body are quite different from the long face and thinness of "Old Kelly". Inadequate makes it impossible to hold Kelly's iconic flourishing blonde hair. Fortunately, "Kelly Diary" has a girl's heart and time-defying points and excuses. Even if it is controversial, it is still a topic. Of course, it has become the most anticipated this autumn. One of the new dramas.
