Draped in off white, she does not expose her je ne sais qua, but captivates us with the potential of exposure.
Mid way through the film she chops off her long brown Ye-Ye girl hair and perms it. Her haircut is a way to get back at her beau, who is documenting their romance and is particularly obsessive about her appearance, and take control over her own body. Though her cropped locks are more reminiscent of something from the disco era, she remains classically french and sticks to the basics. Donning trousers and blazers, her look is still pared down with simple shapes and clean lines.
Tall boots, fur trimmed coats, tunics without pants and thick braided belts: the framing of the body becomes as important as the shaping of the figure. Forget pants, forget the rules, and forget that your appearance is often key to your lover's libido. Follow her. Her free spirited approach to men and clothing packs a sucker punch to the romantic soul.
