"Oh, Your Hair is Beautiful" - Style Over Substance with 'Atomic Blonde' But It's Alright


I think the wham-bam-punch-to-the-face-slam of Charlize Theron's Atomic Blonde did middling box office this summer, but I don't know why. It's perfect popcorn-action-fluff and should have been a box-office smash.

Sprinkled with a heavy stream of '80s new wave classics, this Berlin-set spy caper falls gloriously into the "style over substance" camp (and maybe even the camp camp). But don't think it doesn't know that too.

Enough about its paper-thin plot (spy, Cold War, MacGuffin, guns, watches, neon, synths), let's look at its look:

Eggshell wool trench and leather boots and gloves:

The thigh-high boots return with a black trench and scarf:


Seduction in scrunch boots and LBD (little black dress):

All business in a crisp white blouse and aviators:


Proper spy turtleneck look:

Ace.

Blade Runner for Men, the Casual Affordable Clothing Line of the Future



With the release of 2049, can a retailer like H&M or Uniqlo release an affordable line of Blade Runner for Men clothes? The activewear line for a replicant hunter on the go?


Although he maintains mainly one outfit throughout the movie, multiple variations could be spun off.

  • The trenchcoat with tall and wide collar in various earth tones
  • The combo denim and striped long-sleeve dress shirt with stripey collar 
  • The skinny, grid-patterned, blunt-cut necktie
  • Muted charcoal chinos, fitted but not skinny




  • Long-sleeve dress shirt with collar and odd, 8-bit video game pattern.
  • Burlap-looking, burnt sienna-colored suitcoat



And I haven't even touched the villain line of Roy Batty/Rutger Hauer looks yet.
