Recreate


A bout de souffle or in English Breathless (1960) remains probably one of the most iconic films in terms of style. Both due to the style of the film and the clothes. Jean Seberg with her cropped hair, cigarette pants and stripes remains my favourite girl about town look. I need to get a sewing machine to make a dress like above.

    Oh yes, love this film - can you make me a Herald Tribune top too? Like your new look, by the way.

    Love that gamine look - curiously cool and impossible to emulate, unless of course you happen to be French!

    I've always wanted a little newspaper t-shirt like hers.

    I used to have the hair but never again!

    She is so beautiful in those pics, and that hair cut is tough to get away with but on her, fabulous. Plus, love the new lay-out. Very exciting! Glad it all worked.

    Just watched the film again the other day. Everything is so stylish in this film, including Belmondo...

    I had the haircut until a couple of years ago, then it started looking to harsh for my face. But yes, I love her style in this movie, even though her character was an amoral sociopath. ;-)

    You'd look great in that dress. Can't wait to see you make it! And I love the hair too.

    I used to have this hairdo when I was a stylist :-) the dress is actually a very simple to make but its the actual pattern cutting to match the stripes thats a killer to do. Good luck

    If I ever cut my hair that short, I would look just like my oldest son.

    Love everything about her look in this film. I must say, though, Belomondo never thrilled me.
