Hughes Cinema Style: The Breakfast Club

I have dedicated not one but two FABTVs to The Breakfast Club. So yeah, it's a fave. It's no Sixteen Candles or Weird Science, but it's up there in Fab's John Hughes top three. I think my favorite character's style in this one is actually not Molly - it's bad boy Bender. With his flannel-over-thermal and bandana-around-boot, he had style for miles. And then there were four: the Jock, the Princess, the Basketcase, and the Geek . . . tres chic. Source

Hughes Cinema Style: Pretty in Pink

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Continuing my fashion tributes to the late John Hughes's cinema style - Sixteen Candles fans enter here - Pretty in Pink was a modern fairytale. This time, Molly plays Andie, a fashion designing gal from the wrong side of the tracks. She has a secret crush on richie Blane, played by puppy dog faced Andrew McCarthy. The class system creates a wall for love, while Andie's weirdly fabulous friends provide comic and fashion relief. One of my favorite scenes is Duckie's "Try a Little Tenderness" lip sync - classic. And you have to love Steff, James Spader's super douche character, who had mad rich '80s boy style. Source

I'm having a hard time swallowing the news that director John Hughes died. So are Buzz and Bella. Children of the '80s everywhere are mourning. I own most of his iconic '80s films, but Sixteen Candles is my favorite. It has it all: fashion, comedy, romance, high school, Molly, Anthony, Long Duk Dong, and (swoon) Jake Ryan. To this day I am always scoping the streets for my very own Jake Ryan. Molly plays Samantha, an awkwardly adorable sophomore with a forgotten birthday, kooky family, and big crush. Let's reminisce, shall we ? "Oh sexy girlllllfrieeeend . . ." Source
