Fashion in the movie 10 Things I hate about you: liberal, feminine and Full of Mischief of the 90s
10 Things I Hate About You is a 1999 American romantic comedy film directed by Gil Junger based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Not only using deep and romantic words from the original, but the film also uses fashion to clarify the definition and maturity of feminism through the costumes of two sisters Katarina “Kat” Stratford and Bianca Stratford in New Age.
The dress was originally a woman’s lingerie dress with a two-piece design made of thin material. However, in 1996, this dress accidentally became an item for the liberal beauty of women when it was promoted by Princess Diana.
In the film, at the ball, Kat appeared in a blue dress, which was meant to symbolize royal and aristocratic fashion. At that moment, this powerful design contributed to expressing the strong character of the character and declaring the femininity and charm inside each girl.
The ’90s style was one of the times when thin cardigans came in a variety of colors and styles to show off your personality. In 10 Things I Hate About You, the cardigan helped highlight the differences in the Stratford sisters’ personalities through their outfits.
The fastidious and stubborn Kat chooses to combine cardigans with baggy pants to emphasize her personality. Meanwhile, Miss Bianca blushed and chose to combine a pink floral skirt with a cardigan of the same color, creating a sweeter and more tasteful overall.
Appearing first on the Alexander McQueen runway in 1993, low-rise pants quickly became a popular model in the 1980s-1990s. This is said to be a magic pair of pants when it can show off a healthy bust and is a symbol of feminism of the new century when creating a mark of freedom and honoring the beauty of the female body.
Bringing an attractive and sexy identity, the low-rise pants in 10 Things I Hate About You successfully portray an active teenage life when used daily in most scenes. Not only that, the color of the pants and the combination with other costumes also partly tell the character of the character. In one scene, Bianca mixed low-rise pants with a light blue flower crop top, helping to highlight the character’s playful personality.
Cargo pants (or box pants) were originally associated with the combat clothes of members of the British Armed Forces in 1938-1940 during World War II. Therefore, this fashion item has a strong masculine and strong impression, perfectly matching the nerdy and unapproachable image of Kat.
Thanks to the combination of box pants and monochrome tank tops, Kat successfully shows her independent, strong, and independent personality right from the beginning of the film. In addition, when wearing a military-patterned tank top, Kat also showed the opposite of her sister Bianca in the same frame, thereby identifying the big difference in the two sisters’ personalities.
