The Curious Case of Brad Pitt
NEW ORLEANS, LA — Brad Pitt’s second movie this year is set for Christmas Day release. Brad stars alongside talented Cate Blanchett in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” which is a strange story somewhat echoing the 1986 “Highlander” but without all the violence.
The movie is adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards and is unable to stop time. The story is set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be.
With vintage-theme styles being so popular this year, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” has a big chance to influence fashion and bring even more vintage-like clothing into our closets. This is especially true for Cate Blanchett’s various looks from the movie.
Costume designer, Jacqueline West, worked closely with Levi’s and utilized their vintage collections to authenticate various time periods shown in the movie. West also collaborated with Los Angeles based vintage clothing boutique, The Way We Wore, where she picked more than 100 items to create Cate’s late 1940s looks.
