Fashion Funhouse Emporium second set of fashion icons of film to inspire your Halloween costume creativity: "An American in Paris."
I am not ashamed to admit that I have seen this movie no less than fifteen times. I fell in love with Gene Kelly the first time I saw "Singin' in the Rain but the cheese-tastic lala land of "American in Paris" turned me into a true fan. When I saw Lise, Jerry Mulligan's (Gene Kelly) love interest dressed in a long black pencil skirt, cardigan, and belt, I thought this was tres chic! Of course, I then searched high and low for the Parisian ensemble!
So, if you have a pal, do this couples costume Jerry and Lise! But be prepared for drama since Lise is engaged to a cabaret singer (who performs George Gershwin's "Stairway to Paradise" with the infamous light-up steps you've seen in several music videos and stage performances since).
