Study Notes
- Cruella de Vil is a transgressive style icon who has been Hollywood's greatest fashion baddie since she first appeared in the original 1961 film.
- A new movie, set in 1970s London, opens in cinemas this month, in which Emma Stone plays Estella, a young tearaway and budding fashion designer whose rivalry with her boss fuels her metamorphosis into a deranged alter ego.
- Cruella's look is having an unlikely resurgence, with monochrome dominating the catwalks and high street, and Dalmatian print popping up everywhere.
- Real fur is notably absent in 2021, with Disney at pains to point out that "in our film, the character Cruella does not in any way harm animals".
- In fashion, fur is now considered so unappetising that it is banned by all but a handful of brands.
- Cruella's 2021 wardrobe is largely inspired by 1970s and 1980s London, including Nina Hagen, Vivienne Westwood, and BodyMap.
- The film's big theme is "about being who you are; there's a whole narrative about her hiding her black and white hair and then having the confidence to embrace it".
- Cruella is the style icon we need as we emerge from lockdown and remind ourselves how to get dressed.
- She is positioned as an antihero, rather than a straight-up villain.
- Even if the furs are déclassé, there is something about Cruella that will always be cool.
