The Most Iconic Furs and Leather Jackets of Hollywood

by: Kitty Stephens

Movies have a long tradition of 

influencing fashion

, but no clothing item has been more imitated than handsome furs and leather jackets. They are the chosen fashion of outlaws, punks, movie stars, rebels and bikers. To them, a jacket is an identity, a medium to express nonconformity. Here are five of the most iconic movie jackets worn on the silver screen. 

The Perfecto | Marlon Brando

Price: $630

Everyone knows Marlon Brando brought 

motorcycle jackets

to the height of fashion with "The Wild One," mostly because he is the original rebel of cool. The diagonal-zippered black leather jacket with epaulets, “The Perfecto,” worn by Brando's biker character, Johnny Strabler. The famed jacket was created by Schott, NYC — the first company to sell zippered jackets.

The Burberry Trench | Humphrey Bogart

Price: $595

Humphrey Bogart emitted the stoic tough-guy persona complemented by an enigmatic look: black-ribboned fedora, trench coat and an eternally-burning cigarette. In "Casablanca," his character wore a cream Burberry (or Aquascutum Kingsway) belted wool trench. The ambiguous nature of the jacket is discussed to this day.

Wested Leather Bomber Jacket | Harrison Ford

Price: $268

Indiana Jones, the legendary archeologist adventurer, is a world-famous star of film and fashion. His rugged getup is the costume of choice for many 

trick-or-treaters

every Halloween. Indy's weathered bomber leather jacket, wide-brimmed wool felt fedora, canvas satchel and Alden boots are all instantly recognizable. The tailor still makes a pretty penny to this day producing replicas of Indy's famous threads.

Blue Denim Jacket | Michael J. Fox

Price: $450

In the '80s, 

Michael J. Fox

was the quintessential teen icon of style, and his role as Marty McFly in "Back to the Future" embodied the rebellious/outlaw/punk heartthrob we looked up to. The blue denim jacket worn by Fox was manufactured by Guess, but is now nearly impossible to find — due to its limited run. The origin of the puffy vest remains a movie mystery.

White Sateen Jacket | Ryan Gosling

Price: $160

The mysterious and deadly stunt performer/mechanic/getaway driver played by 

Ryan Gosling

, wears a white sateen diamond-stitched jacket with a golden scorpion embroidered on the back. The iconic symbol was inspired by the experimental film “Scorpio Rising” and Aesop's “The Scorpion and the Frog” that plays into one of the film's themes of succumbing to one's irrepressible nature. “Drive” is meant to be a superhero movie — a deranged one at that — and the jacket acts as a sort of costume for the driver.

BARNEYS Co-Op Fall Fashion Glam-Slam

by L. B.

This past Friday, E. Vincent Martinez and Caren West of Caren West PR had a sequin, fur, and fun-filled play-date at the Barney’s Co-Op in Phipps Plaza. Between oooh-ing and aww-ing over the spectac Barney’s 25th anniversary items and figuring out just how to undress the famous blue mannequins (the trick? lift the arms UP and then out-who knew?) a handful of KILLER

fall/winter

looks were styled.

The result of the Friday glam-slam= eight impeccably styled blue mannequins.

Take a look:

Vincent and Caren pulled this stunning 3.1 Phillip Lim dress for the first look (and this dress happens to be one of the 25th anniversary items)! An added bonus: true to 3.1 Phillip Lim form, this dress has pockets! How convenient, right? We decided to pair the dress with a sturdy Alexander Wang purse, spike-y Fallon bracelets, and an Annie Costello Brown bracelet that really popped.

The next look featured a Helmut Lang top, Helmut Lang leggings, an Annie Costello Brown necklace, a stunning Sissirossi green bag that Caren quickly became obsessed with, and pair of Ray Ban aviators. So casual, so chic.

Next up was a gorg Isabel Marant top paired with the same Helmut Lang leggings and two gold Aesa necklaces. We loved the way the two necklaces of differing lengths complemented each other.

I’ve been pining for this structured Alexander Wang handbag for a couple of weeks, so I was thrilled when Vincent pulled it for this look. And it

does

look excellent next to this smokin’ Helmut Lang jacket. Girlfriend is workin’ it!

Vincent and Caren’s next outfit featured this sophisticated-yet-fun Forget Me Not scarf with a L’angence jacket, Helmut Lang black top, and Etten Eller necklace. I was tempted to pluck the jacket right off of the mannequin to keep for myself, but I refrained...

The minute I walked into the store I

knew

this fab Vince sequin top was a must-feature. Suffice it to say that I now have a full-blown obsession with this sequined-beauty. In a stroke of fashion-genius, Vincent grabbed this amazing faux-fur Burning Torch jacket. On bottom: a pair of light-washed R13 jeans that added a touch of casualness. Side note: the Barney’s Co-Op has one of THE best denim bars in Atlanta- you pretty much owe it to yourself to go check it out!

Now, on to mens apparel! We adored this cozy Thom Browne sweater, paired with a matching Thom Browne scarf and undershirt. To top off the look, our photographer,

Andrew Wicker

, suggested this Rag & Bone hat that we all agreed really pulled the outfit together. The look also features True Indigo Cone Mills denim and Fiorentini + Baker boots.

--- If you’re a denim-on-denim fan (like myself) then you DIE for this next look, I’m sure! Denim shirt, red undershirt, and jeans are all by Levi Vintage Collection, and the messenger bag is by Will Leather. Yes, please!

My personal fave?

The sequin-and-fur get-up. Love the casual light-washed denim with the blingin’ top and glam fur. Something tells me that somewhere,  Rachel Zoe is smiling...
