the girls of sam levinsons universes love tumblr fashion they love them some o mighty and american apparel esque outfits esp maddie and jules
maddie wears a very buffalo 66 type outfit in the second episode look at the silhouette and the color
layla was a very romantic character in the movie and she falls in love with an emotionally stunted man w abusive parents…sound familiar innit
the cherry dress is very nymphet tumblr sorry to say the bardot neckline the ruffles shes a tumblr girl thru and thru
jules is even more obviously a tumblr girl the anime influences tennis skirts quirky bookbags she was obsessed with electra heart and joanna kutcha
she lovessss a good tennis skirt (pre city trip at least) and these are a staple in any tumblr girls wardrobe and they’re making a huggeeeee comeback with everyone rotting in their rooms the tumblr era back with a vengeance
its also worth noting barbie was HUGE on tumblr before becoming an actress (she was a model already when she was on) and guess who she modeled for? american apparel
clearly this era of fashion and internet culture is interesting to him bc it popped up earlier in assassination nation with his main character lily using tumblr in multiple scenes his recent works were made for the tumblr generation the neon lights the quirky clothes etc
assassination nation vs a popular tumblr image
even jules and maddys halloween costumes come straight from tumblr iconography with the former as claire danes juliet and maddy as nymphet staple iris from taxi driver
both jules and maddy already have fully formed looks that can only be created thru years of archiving on tumblr jules is continuously compared to sailor moon and thats on purpose bright colors short shirts even her long blonde hair is reminiscent of anime girls
its also hard to ignore joanna kutchas influence on jules fashion shes the quintessential tumblr girl and more importantly she has longevity shes damn near 10 years in the game and still has impact and both veterans and newbies follow her
matching sets, crop tops, textured tops, mesh tops even 2021 joanna couldn’t resist coming back to her classic AA tennis skirt
its also worth noting both maddie and jules’ makeup is similar to some of joannas early intro to modeling makeup look at the pearls as liner
ill come back to this later bc im tired lol
