alexandralI am so very happy that "Moonlight" is doing so well recently and improving with every episode. HEEE! I guess this is the good time for some snark. I forewarn anyone: This post contains views on fashions that are mine and mine only. I don't think (far from it!) that I am good at this or anything of the sort. It is just for fun. It all started in the pilot, of course. With this:
Below are 11 crimes against fashion in supernatural settings of Moonlight, in order of terribleness
This something that has been known for centuries to the great men of long gone past:
Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society. ~ Mark Twain
Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed. There ain't much credit in that. ~Charles Dickens
Carelessness in dressing is moral suicide. ~Honoré de Balzac
Now, let's just look at this:
10. Number 20 is an undertaker-style hanky as worn by Josef in "Arrested Development". There is a time and a place for everything, baby!
9. Black looks good on Mick but the fact that he insists on wearing his jacket's collar always up makes me wonder if vampires feel cold, so cold (or may be he is undercover all the time)??
8. Stripy shirt of doomed confessions:
7. Something that is utilised by Russian mafia members so often that every time I see it on anyone on a street I immediately think "Hi, comrade!". Yes, you are correct, it is a leather jacket!
6. And as far as jackets go, a velvet jacket only looks good on bohemia-looking younger men with shoulder-length hair. But I confess that I like the colour combination in the sceencap below:
5. There is nothing that says "You are a killer and you belong to prison" as good as this suit, especially in combination with the hair-shave!
4 The laws of physics are simple. Dark brown does not suit women with blond hair. Do not wear it if you want to be noticed.

the_grynne: " Alex, with those clothes, that haircut, always looks to me like he's auditioning to be a pornstar. It's a credit to the actor that I can still take the character (mostly) seriously." Personally, I do take Alex very seriously but the combination below makes me grudgingly agree with the "he's auditioning to be a pornstar" bit.
2. The dress that got Beth into the seedy vampire club in "B.C.". If your father ever sees you wearing anything like this he is bound to say "You look like a hooker". And he will be absolutely correct!
1. Sophia Myles is a gorgeous woman. It is a true crime to make her wear a jumper that makes her look 4 times bigger and 10 years older!
0. And the winner is: Braces worn by Josef in the pilot. This is so bad in so many ways that it leaves me speechless:
And here is Mick who is pondering if he should set the whole wardrobe of the series on fire
Hold on, Mick!! Do not be upset!! Remember, Josef had a nice shirt once:
And there were many gratuitous scenes of you not wearing anything at all:
And even more, there was my FAVOURITE scene in the shower where the cut of clothes didn't even matter a single bit??
ALL IS NOT LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS Please feel free to disagree or to add some of your "favourite" choices of clothing in "Moonlight" series!

Don't think there actually IS one. After the manner Logan was clad in VM, I thought this role might be a change, and a positive one, for Jason Dohring. Big mistake. It just got worse. And it's so sad, 'cause he's a really, really cute guy :D

(though Kristen Bell was quite a lead in the fashion industry in that show - perhaps she had a personal designer?)

I liked her clothes too, very much – I was thinking that may be Salvador Pérez Jr (this seems to be the costume designer in question) is more comfortable with teenager clothing?

Date: 2007-11-04 12:30 am (UTC)I've got a major crush on both Kristen and Veronica, so this seems weird, indeed. I mean, there is a community around, entirely dedicated to her fashion sense, and all ... so I guess you might be right, though I'm telling you, Logan and the other guys in the show were being terribly dressed, too.

Hmm, may be it was a different designer or may be it is a gender thing. I had a couple of friends who were atrocious in their clothes (as far as men go) but always gave a good advice to ladies..

just as well perhaps. if there was too much josef deliciousness my eyes would fall out from darting back and forth fiendishly between Mick and Josef in all of their scenes together. :)
