Fashion in film: Jimi Hendrix
We're always interested in how fashion trends are influenced and created; and one influence, we often find, is film. In recent memory there have been subtle influences in Sienna Miller's boho styling in 'Alfie' and later her 60s minidresses in 'Factory Girl' - while 'The Devil Wears Prada' sparked a revival in the blunt-cut fringe.
The hippie era has been seeping back into everyday life by way of 'foho', flared jeans, maxi-dresses and flowing long hair. And with a Jimi Hendrix biopic in the works, we're anticipating that the hippie influences of the 60s and 70s will make even more of a mark.
Catwalk Queen reports that British designer Gavin Pierre Medford has been given the honours of creating the costumes for the film. We're betting that, if the film is successful, the likes of flares, military jackets, frilled shirts, chunky jewels and psychodellic colours will have even more of an impact on menswear, only in a slightly more modern way.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
