Hello, Tailor

“An unusual amount of focus goes to Marissa’s shoes. High heels, especially pristine high-heels stored carefully in a display cabinet, are one of the most recogniseable visual shortcuts to “American career-woman” one sees in modern pop-culture, I think.” — from Movie Costumes I Have Loved: Hanna.

“She’s been raised away from any societal influence, with no sense of vanity whatsoever, and considering what we’ve seen of her life with her father it’d be ridiculous for her to be able to fit in with humanity’s myriad of unspoken aesthetic rules after only a few days’ experience with the outside world.” — from Movie Costumes I Have Loved: Hanna.

“Her suits are Armani, and she wears several variations on the same one — an ideal choice for a woman working in such a regimented environment. Marissa is highly efficient, and seems like the type of person who would just go ahead and buy five copies of the same outfit once she’d found something that struck the correct balance between formal and feminine.” — Movie Costumes I Have Loved: Hanna.
