Cruella was the first movie I've seen in a theatre in ten months. I was so excited, for various reasons.
First of all, of course, going back to the cinema, for how much I am a couch potato, I still enjoy the experience on a screen bigger than 13".
Then I was extremely curious to see Emma Stone in Cruella shoes, need to be honest, the fur lover villain wasn't ever one of my super favourites, most likely because Maleficent fills up basically my Top 10, but I really enjoyed this movie, conscious it is not perfect.
My latest approach to movies is: avoid any content pre-screening, Social Media are a great tool for communication and connection, but the dark side of the medal is: no more surprises. Everything is overshared, even way before the release dates and the spark of surprise is lacking nowadays. Hence, to protect myself from unwanted spoilers I tried to not read anything, including the plot, ahead of the release.
So, finding out Estella/Cruella is a wannabe Fashion Designer and the story goes around the Fashion world made me supremely excited, I love a good Cinema/Fashion meta.
After this nonsense intro, let's talk a little bit about the costumes and how fashion portrays characters.
