Vintage Barbra Streisand: Fanny Brice the Funny Girl
There has always been a place in my heart for Ms. Fanny Brice, the Zigfield Girl who made it big. The movie Funny Girl inspired by her life was the first great hit in 1968 starting Barbra Streisand. In addition to being an entertaining film to watch it has 40s inspired 60s fashions. Every scene showcases a drool-inducing new piece of vintage glamor. From hats and gloves, to the over the top Chorus Girl number outfits it is a time capsule and a great example of how clothes can make a movie.
If you are a lover of clothes, vintage or otherwise Funny Girl is a movie that you have to see (or see again).

“The Badgley Mischka Bride collection for Fall 2009, presented in New York on Sunday, April 5, featured eight timeless, understated styles, from a vintage-feel Champagne-colored trumpet gown overlaid with lace to a minimally embellished strapless gown of frothy pearl-colored organza dress with diagonally placed ruffles along the trumpet skirt.”

again for another beautiful gown.”

Claudia Dey with Lee Henderson: Playwright, author and columnist
“It is all vintage, as always– and fit for a woman who is nearly four months pregnant. A silk slip from Cabaret, black suede pumps from 69 Vintage on Queen Street West, Victorian pearls (silver) from what was once Melanie’s Closet….” Dey’s elegant white evening gloves are from Cabaret too. Pictured with her is author Lee Henderson, who is pretty much owning that Marzotto Lab suit.
We love Claudia! Look how amazing she looks.
