In either of her roles as a Fellini woman, Anouk Aimee stands as a testament that boldness of address is likewise boldness in dress. Anouk. A single simple syllable. Forward in desire, intent; avant in her appearance.
Cast in opposition to lavish blonds and twinkies, Anouk stands firm with her high cheekbones and simple lines. Her style is architectural, not natural. The boldness of form mimics her boldness in the way she expresses her desire (for independent, and yet simultaneously for marriage in La DV) and her disgust (for her cheating husband in 8 1/2).
Bold geometric shapes are used to frame the body. Solid colours add definition. The collarbone, the cheekbone, and the eyebrow: the slight textures of the body are highlighted.
