This must surely be one of my most favourite movie fashion inspirations. It certainly had tons of style in every shot of Ali MacGraw, without being unduly influenced by fashion. When the weather is cold outside and with a roaring fire indoors, I always think of this movie.
The 1970 classic 'Love Story' movie, inspires the kind of perfect love one can only dream about. With the radiance of American Ivy League as a backdrop, the classic white stone-washed buildings and bright sun against knee-deep snow, it all seems to reflect Ali's beauty.
Her enviable wardrobe provided inspiration for fashion designers in future years. Her clothing evokes the classic 'preppy' style and today is accessible to everyone. Playing a poor scholarship student, Jenny Cavaleri, Ali became a style icon that made that American style, famous and trendy. Classic designers like Michael Kors and Calvin Klein certainly took lots of inspiration from the movie for their subsequent collections.
Ali constantly wore amazing coats with classic masculine lines, like the fantastic camel-coloured cashmere coat, that wrapped around her sporty figure so well. There was also the deep blue, pea coat with the shiny buttons, teamed with lovely turtlenecks peeping from beneath.
The masterful colour arrangements of her outfits contributed a lot to the success of this unforgettable style. The beige with black and red check skirt, worn as she moved in and out of the school building, flowed alongside her fast wit and humorous banter with Ryan O'Neal.
I think the constant appearance of short skirts was intentional, since the movie was made in the 1970s, therefore just at the end of the 60s 'mini mania'. It certainly fitted her independent free spirit and brilliant, sparkling personality.
For her wedding, she wore the same check mini skirt, intimating so much personal casual chic. It tells me that clothes don't have to be serious, but love is. Her fantastic accessory collection is also a reminder for us that it is so important not to forget matching hats, or even what a whimsical fur hat will do for an outfit.
I can see them both in his convertible, top down, driving towards her new in-laws' vast estate. She is wearing her classic camel coat and black tights, ready to grace the old dark, wood-panelled rooms of the huge mansion.
As she reveals her beautiful, lipstick-red silk dress, it makes me want to go out and get a dress just like it and grow my hair to have a side parting. Although maybe we cannot star in a film, at least we can all style ourselves classic and pretty.
