Movie Fashion: Scorpion Jacket from the Movie Drive

Last Sunday I saw the movie Drive, and I loved it!  Drive has a vintage feel. It feels as if it were made in the 70's but remodeled for modern day. Very much like a beautifully restored vintage car.  




There hasn't been a movie in a long time that has grabbed me with the following:


Music/Color story: The color story was mostly in shades of blue and gold. The streetlights to the motel fit into this color scheme.  The songs selected fit the same thematic feel of the movie. They sound like they are 70's disco hits but are all modern songs with a vivid techno pulse. 


This is one of my favorite tracks from the film "A Real Hero by College feat. Electric Youth"




Acting: Drive has the best ensemble cast, I've seen in a long time. You wouldn't think to put all these actors: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, and Ron Perlman (He was Hellboy if you remember) in a room together lol but the ingredients work.


Fashion:
“Have you ever heard of the story of the scorpion and the frog?” the  Driver (Ryan Gosling) asks producer/mobster Bernie Rose (Albert Brooks) towards the end of the movie. In that one line, when you put it in context, you get everything you need to know about the character and the movie. The driver wears a jacket with a scorpion on it.
I want this jacket now!
Nylon.com has one jacket's up for grabs now. Click on the Nylon link to enter! Good luck!




Go see the movie Drive if you haven't already, it will not disappoint.

  1. Awesome movie recommendation...
    I have trouble seeing Ryan Gosling anywhere outside of the Notebook. Haha. He played such a key role. I hate how actors get stuck in niches though, so I'd be so happy to see this and wipe that image of him out of my mind!
    He is great... I'd love to have that jacket too!
