Fashionable Film: Out of Africa

If you are ever in need of safari clothing inspiration, we would recommend Out of Africa. This film has inspired countless magazine editorials and fashion collections, and it's not hard to see why. Meryl Streep and Robert Redford's outfits are amazing and look effortlessly chic.

We Recommend: Sundance Kabuki Cinema

Whenever we go to the movies in San Francisco, we try to go to Sundance Kabuki Cinema. The theater lets you reserve seats ahead of time, and offers a full bar and gourmet kitchen so you can enjoy food and beverages while viewing your film. We recently checked out The East, and of course had to sample the specialty signature cocktail the theater had concocted in its honor.

Fashionable Film: The Great Gatsby (1974)

While we can't wait for the new film version of The Great Gatsby to come out, we have always been fans of the 1974 version for its stars, fashion, and locations.  Robert Redford and Mia Farrow were picture perfect as Jay Gatsby and his love Daisy Buchanan, and Ralph Lauren designed the stunning costumes, expertly hiding Farrow's pregnancy, and creating a romantic 1920s look that has continued to influence his work in the forty years since.
