Citizen Sleek
Inspired by Orson Welles’ iconic Citizen Kane, Citizen Sleek is all about timeless elegance and commanding presence. Think tailored suits with sharp lapels, structured dresses in monochrome or muted jewel tones, and accessories that exude refinement. Pocket watches, fedoras, and minimalist clutches are key touches, while luxurious materials like wool, silk, and cashmere set the tone. Finish the look with sleek hairstyles, red lips or smoky eyes, and understated jewelry for an aura of effortless sophistication.
Dial M for Metallics
Channel Hitchcock’s glamorous suspense with a modern, shimmering twist. Dial M for Metallics is your go-to for high drama, featuring dresses and jumpsuits in gold, silver, and gunmetal tones. Sequins, lamé, and satin fabrics add a dazzling effect, while statement metallic heels or boots provide a striking finish. Complete the look with bold accessories like cuffs, layered chains, and geometric earrings. Don’t forget sleek ponytails, dramatic winged eyeliner, and high-shine finishes to capture the allure of this luminous style.
Mother Would Not Approve
Inspired by the edgy undertones of Hitchcock’s Psycho, this look dares to defy convention. Black leather jackets, sheer blouses, and corset tops paired with tailored pants or pencil skirts create a rebellious vibe. Accessories such as spiked heels, chokers, and oversized sunglasses add attitude, while materials like leather, mesh, and distressed denim bring a dark, moody edge. Messy waves, slicked-back hair, bold eyeliner, and deep red lips tie the look together for a style that is unapologetically bold.
My Fatale Valentine
For a romantic noir aesthetic with a seductive edge, My Fatale Valentine embraces figure-hugging gowns, satin slip dresses, and rich hues of red, burgundy, and blush. Lace, velvet, and silk fabrics exude romance, while heart-shaped clutches, pearl necklaces, and opera gloves add a touch of classic glamour. Style your hair in soft curls or romantic updos, and let bold red lips and sultry smoky eyes complete this look steeped in passion and intrigue.
Touch of Avant Garde
Take inspiration from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis with Touch of Avant Garde, a look that pushes the boundaries of noir aesthetics. Architectural silhouettes like structured blazers, asymmetrical dresses, and exaggerated shoulders dominate this futuristic style. Opt for metallic or monochromatic color palettes and materials like high-shine PVC, neoprene, and sculptural fabrics. Accessories such as oversized belts, geometric jewelry, and sleek bags elevate the look, while slicked-back hair, graphic eyeliner, and bold monochrome makeup add a cutting-edge finish to this experimental vibe.
