Miuccia Prada X The Great Gatsby

I recently came across the Miuccia Prada costume sketches from The Great Gatsby adaptation that is due to hit cinemas this summer so I thought that it was only fitting that I blog about them. I almost screamed with excitement when I first found out that Miuccia Prada was creating the costumes for one of my favorite books. I just love the 1920's era, everything about it excites me, especially the fashion and the fact that Gabrielle Chanel rose to fame in the 1920's! I swear that I should have been born in 1920's Paris! Saying this, I completely believe that there is no one who could design the costumes and capture the essence of the aristocratic characters better than Miuccia, and working with Catherine Martin she has created 40 looks for the star studded cast which includes Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan. Below are four of the looks that have been released

My favorite by far is the bottom design. The powder blue mixed with the shimmering crystals really captures Daisy the way that I imagined her in the book. It is also the style of dress that I associate with the 1920's era! so beautiful yet innately elegant. Which one is your favorite?
