FASHION TRENDS
INSPIRED BY
John Travolta and Samuel L.
Jackson aka Vincent Vega and Jules
Winnfield, two very stylish killers. Their
dark suits have gone down in history
The character of Mia Wallace,
portrayed by Uma Thurman, in
Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction has
had an undeniable impact on
fashion. Throughout the film she
wears a pair of black cropped pants
and a white button down shirt that
have become staples of the
American women’s wardrobe. Her
smoky eyes, dark lips, and vampy
nails also changed the landscape of
the cosmetic industry. In this paper I
will examine how the character of
Mia Wallace altered the fashion
trends of the 1990s and how popular
it remains today.
The Bride's total
yellow suit was
produced by Mooto,
a Korean sporting
goods brand and is
inspired by the one
worn by Bruce
Lee in Game of
Death, a film left
unfinished due to
the actor's death on
July 20, 1973. Black
Mamba shoes are
the Onitsuka
Tiger Tai Chi model
with interesting
detail on the sole:
the word "Fuck U".
Japanese high
school uniform:
jacket, white
shirt, a red bow
on the collar, a
plaid skirt and a
pair of suede
Nike Blazers
Low. This look
has the merit of
putting together
for the first time
in an action film
the silhouette of
a sneaker to that
of a dress with a
more sartorial
line.
The white suit in the hospital scene with
tailored details designed on the fabric in
black in a way reminiscent of Joshua
Vides' customs and the black suit with
oversized silk shirt that anticipates the
sartorial and aggressive looks of brands
like Balenciaga and Slimane's Saint
Laurent and Céline collections.
Ms Heimann“I am very pleased
that the narrow silhouette I
created influenced and still
influences men’s fashion” she
offers. “I think that Quentin is
responsible for the pop culture
legacy of the film. The characters
and the mood are contagious, just
like Quentin’s enthusiasm for
filmmaking.”“Quentin wanted to pay homage to
French New Wave films. He also
wanted the robbers to have certain
anonymity. When he showed me
some film clips, I remarked that the
men were all wearing dark suits
with white shirts and dark ties. This
provided the anonymity we were
looking for.”
