Today, American filmmaker Sofia Coppola premieres her latest project – a collaboration with historic Scottish knitwear house Barrie, comprising a number of pieces inspired by her personal style. ‘I will be living in it,’ she said when the collection was announced in May 2023.
Coppola, who made her feature film directorial debut in 1999 with Virgin Suicides, has become known for a distinctive aesthetic eye, where clothing is intrinsic. As such, she has been responsible for some of contemporary cinema’s most memorable fashion moments – from the conspicuous label-drenched wardrobe of the 2000s-set Bling Ring, Scarlett Johansson’s pink-hued wig in Lost in Translation, and the saccharine Rococo stylings of Marie Antoinette (including the much-mythologised glimpse of a Converse sneaker amid her recreation of 18th-century Versailles).
