fashion in film! empire records

I love Empire Records. If you haven't seen it before, it’s about a group of teens working in a record shop that is about to be taken over by a BIG super group. One of the workforce, Lucas is left to shut up shop and decides to go to Atlantic city with the days takings to try and double it to stop it being taken over. Of course he loses the lot. The rest of the film centres on everyone’s lives whilst trying to get the money back. Oh and its Rex Manning day! This is Rex...




He is super cheesy.

I first saw it when I was 14 and I watched it like 300 times during the summer holidays whilst trying to make cushions that were filled out with toilet paper. Anyways, the fashion is amazing! It was 1995 and the girls were wearing doc martins, tartan minis and cropped jumpers. The boys had long hair, oversized cardis and sportswear.

Elle magazine did an Empire Records inspired shoot last year...



Also I like the shoot Alexa Chung did for Nylon last year which kind of reminded me of Liv Tylers characters clobber...
