500 days of summer

• one of my favorite movies of last year was 500 days of summer. i was thrilled when it FINALLY came out on dvd. it is an adorable story about a boy named tom and a girl named summer played by zooey deschanel and joseph gordon-levitt. the clothes are as fantastic as the plot itself and add to the charming personalities of the characters. the film's costume designer, hope hanafin, says that the color blue was the biggest influence to summer's wardrobe because of her sparkling blue eyes and magnetic charm.
  
• hope hanafin was interviewed by hollywood crush about summer's enchanting wardrobe. she says, "A lot of it is vintage, but there’s still plenty that’s not. Though I have great respect for these romantic comedies where secretaries are wearing Prada, I wanted [“500 Days”] to be kind of the anti-“Sex and the City.” So, Zooey’s wearing clothes that her character really could afford, things are also repeated. Her clothes are a mix of things from [places like] Old Navy, GAP, BCBG and then there’s a lot of vintage. But not all of it was glamorous vintage. She has a Built By Wendy denim skirt and a couple other great things".
