Holiday fashion: Top 6 looks from our favourite holiday movies
The classic holiday films we can’t get enough of—and how to get the festive looks they inspire this season.
While we may not determine whether art-imitates-life this season, we’ll certainly vouch for imitating the best from our favourite examples of cinematic holiday art this time of year. We’ve gleaned the signature looks from beloved holiday films (when we say leg lamp, you say —) and top winter 2012 accessories for showing solidarity with those memorable characters—even that dad from A Christmas Story.
Holiday film: Bridget Jones’s Diary(2001; and 2004, of course)
Why we love it: Because no one makes us feel better about our bodies, our jobs, ourselves than “wanton sex goddess” Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger). And yet she still had the likes of Hugh Grant and Colin Firth dueling over her. On second thought…
The inspiration: It’s quite likely that only the charming Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) can handsomely dapper in a black turtleneck reindeer sweater.
Winter 2012 runway look: Schoolgirl-chic oversized sweaters at Marc by Marc Jacobs; warm and fuzzy and totally huggable turtlenecks at Oscar de la Renta.

Holiday film: It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)
Why we love it: Could there be anything more cinematically perfect and timeless than Frank Capra’s ever-magical and tear-inducing Christmas Eve staple? Plus humanity is collectively better for the knowledge of how angels get their wings.
The inspiration: George Bailey’s romantic notion of a lifelong traveller who carries his life around in a second-hand traveller’s trunk.
Winter 2012 runway look: Fly-by-night train car traveller mystique at Louis Vuitton; paper boy-inspired look and delivery bag at Burberry Prorsum.
HOLIDAY FASHION MUST-TRY: Salvatore Ferragamo Brown Alligator Trolley, $18,900, at Salvatore Ferragamo boutiques.
Holiday film: Serendipity (2001)
Why we love it: For sparking the idea that we are looking for love in all the right places— New York over the holidays, Bloomingdale’s, Serendipity 3—and fostering our teenage crush into a full-blown love affair with a grown-up John Cusack.
The inspiration: Back to where it started—the scene where Cusack’s Jonathan meets and simultaneously falls for Sara (Kate Beckinsale) while reaching for the same pair of black cashmere gloves at Bloomingdale’s.
Winter 2012 runway look: All-powerful biker-inspired gants at Jason Wu; coral leather opera-length gloves at Lanvin.
