Killer Style: How to Dress Like A Hitchcock Heroine

by Leah Chernikoff, Tyler McCall, Zanele Mji

Hitchcock, the Oscar-vehicle starring Anthony Hopkins as Hitch and Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, hit select theaters this past weekend. There hasn’t been much fashion buzz about the film aside from Scarlett Johansson’s Psycho-themed V cover, which focused more on her scream than her clothes (as well it should have), but we’ve always had a soft-spot for the fashion in Hitchcock’s films.

First Look: Katie Ermilio Spring 2011

by

If we had to wear nothing but Katie Ermilio‘s Spring 2011 collection next year, that would be fine.

Katie was pretty much born into fashion. Her grandmother was Grace Kelly’s personal clothier and her grandfather made iconic jackets for events like Augusta’s master tournament and World War II. While that might be a daunting history to live up to, Katie’s contribution to the family business is definitely worthy of recognition.

The look is understated elegance. Simple cream dresses are the perfect length and boast just enough interesting detail–a sheer overlay or peplum–to keep them from being too simple. And, there are two silk blouses that are more than worthy of our affection.
