SCHOOL UNIFORMS ON TV

Como estudiante de un colegio público, siempre me ha fascinado eso de tener uniforme, sobre todo por la influencia de la televisión. Puede que en la realidad fuesen horrendos y sosos, pero en el mundo audiovisual los uniformes son el outfit más chic con el que puedes pisar el instituto. Ahora que es momento de la vuelta al cole, creo que es interesante repasar algunos de ellos.

As a public school student, I am fascinated by uniforms, and that’s because of TV. Perhaps in real life they are plain and awful, however, in fiction, they represent the stylish outfit you need to attending classes. Check it out these «too cool for school» uniforms.

REBELDE (2004 – 2006)

Esta serie se desarollaba en el interior de un internado muy elitista de México, por lo que, obviamente, los estudiantes debían ir en uniforme. El más mítico y recordado es el que combinaba blazers rojas con minifaldas vaqueras y botas altas de tacón de aguja.

Por si no fuera lo suficientemente sexy, llevaban las camisas desabrochadas y anudadas a la cintura. También les gustaba llevar los cuellos estirados, las corbatas flojas y los puños doblados.

The action of this TV show was setting in a prestigious and fancy Mexican boarding school. So that, students had to wear uniforms, obviously! The most iconic was the one with red blazers, denim mini skirts and stiletto heels boots.

As if this weren’t sexy enough, girls wore unbuttoned shirts and tied up at their waist. Also, they were fond of outstretched collars, loose ties and rolled-up cuffs.

Pero este no fue el único uniforme que llevaron durante el transcurso de la serie. También existía una versión un poco más formal del anterior outfit que consistía en un traje de dos piezas en color negro, camisa azul y corbata roja.

This wasn’t the only uniform they wore throughout the series. There was, also, a formal version of the previously outfit. In this case, it was a black suit with pale blue shirt and plain red tie.

Ya hacia el final de la serie pudimos ver a los protagonistas del Elite Way School con un nuevo conjunto. Esta vez, un poco más clásico, con la tradicional falda con estampado escocés, blazer negra, corbata granate, tirantes, boina y calcetines por la rodilla con zapatos de tacón estilo «Mary Jane».

At the end of the TV show, we could see the students of the Elite Way School wearing a third uniform. This time, a little more classic with traditional plaid skirt, black blazer, maroon tie, suspenders, beret and high socks with heeled «Mary Jane» shoes.

El príncipe de Bel-Air /

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990 – 1996)

En esta mítica serie de los 90, cuando Will Smith se muda a Los Ángeles empieza a asistir a un colegio privado, la Academia Bel-Air. Los tonos grises y apagados del uniforme no concuerdan con la personalidad de Will, que opta por darle la vuelta a su sosa americana azul marino para conseguir un look mucho más colorido y original. Desafortunadamente, no todas las chaquetas tienen un forro tan guay.

In the popular 90s show, when Will Smith moved to LA, he begin his studies at a private school, the Bel-Air Academy. Seemed like grey and dull colors didn’t match Fresh Prince personality because he turned over his navy blue blazer in order to achieve an original and colorful look. Unfortunately, not all jackets have a lining so cool.

ÉLITE (2018)

Otro caso de serie ambientada en un colegio «pijo», donde la ropa obligatoria es de color azul, rojo y gris, nada estravagante. No obstante, lo que más me gusta es cómo cada personaje le da su propia personalidad adaptando el uniforme base.

Élite is also set in a posh high school, where the mandatory outfit is navy blue, grey and red, nothing outrageous. Nevertheless, I really like how every character express their personality customizing the uniform.

Por ejemplo, Valerio va con la camisa y la corbata completamente desabrochadas, dejando al descubierto una camiseta interior. Completa el look con un montón de anillos, pulseras y cadenas.

For example, Valerio wears unbuttoned shirt and untied tie, showing his undershirt. He accessorize properly with rings, bracelets and chain necklaces.

Las alumnas de Las Encinas apuestan por broches, cinturones, lazos o camisas ornamentadas para destacar.

School girls from Las Encinas opt for brooches, belts, bows and decorated blouses in order to standing out.

PIECES OF HISTORY: THE REVENGE DRESS

Rosa y Marrón Hojas 21 Cumpleaños Portada de Evento de Facebook

Igual no te has dado cuenta, pero mediante la ropa expresamos muchas cosas, como nuestra personalidad o nuestro estado de ánimo. Sí, cada vez que nos vestimos estamos comunicando algún tipo de mensaje. Por eso, se trata de una poderosa herramienta que no debemos pasar por alto, sino aprender a usarla para nuestro propio beneficio.

Para ilustrar mejor este concepto, en el artículo de hoy me gustaría hablar del conocido como «Revenge Dress», un vestido que Lady Di usó para mandar un mensaje bastante claro. Algo así como: «¡Mira lo que te estás perdiendo!» o «¡Qué te den, Charles!».

Maybe you didn’t notice, but our mood and personality are expressed through the clothes. Yes! We convey messages every time we dress up. This is a powerful tool, and we must know how to use it wisely.

To illustrate this concept, in this post I would like to talk about «The Revenge Dress». Princess Diana used this particular garment to send a very clear message. Something like: «Look what you are missing out!» or «Fuck you, Charles!».

EL CONTEXTO HISTÓRICO / HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

El 29 de junio de 1994 tuvieron lugar dos acontecimientos clave. Por un lado, se emitía un documental en la BBC sobre el Príncipe Carlos. Por otro lado, la gala benéfica anual de Vanity Fair, organizada en la Serpentine Gallery y a la que, por supuesto, Diana estaba invitada.

El programa pretendía lavar la imagen del heredero al trono, el cual no despertaba mucha simpatía popular tras la separación de Diana dos años antes. Pero se convirtió en todo un fracaso cuando el Príncipe Carlos reconoció públicamente que le había sido infiel, a su todavía esposa, con Camilla Parker Bowles.

Como consecuencia de la humillación pública que suponía reconocer las infidelidades de su matrimono, Diana no tenía intención de asistir a la gala benéfica. Sin embargo, cambió de opinión y fue al evento llevando el famoso «vestido de la venganza».

The 29th of june of 1994 two different events took place. On the one hand, a documentary on BBC about Prince Charles. On the other hand, the Vanity Fair’s fundraising gala, to which, of course, Diana was invited to.

The programme was an excuse to clean up Prince Charles image, who wasn’t very popular at that moment due to the separation what occurred two years before it. However, Charles messed up everything when he confessed that he had been unfaithful to his wife with Camilla Parker Bowles.

Of course, Diana felt so humiliated and ashamed by his public statements that she refused to attend the gala. However, she changed her mind and made her appearance wearing the legendary «Revenge Dress».

EL VESTIDO / THE DRESS

La creación de Christina Stambolian, que lució Lady Di en la gala de Vanity Fair, consistía en un Little Black Dress en crepé de seda, con escote Bardot en forma de corazón y cola lateral.

It was a Christina Stambolian’s design and consisted of a little black dress made of silk crepe, with a heart shape Bardot neckline and a side tail.

Diana completó el conjunto con una ostentosa gargantilla de perlas con un medallón en medio, pendientes, una pulsera, un anillo, medias negras, un par de stilettos y un bolso de mano del mismo color.

Además de que Diana lucía espectacular, llevar este vestido suponía un golpe en la mesa, ya que, siendo todavía Princesa de Gales, estaba rompiendo el protocolo al ir así vestida. En primer lugar, por el color del vestido, puesto que el negro está reservado para el luto oficial. Y, en segundo lugar, por dejar al descubierto los hombros y las piernas por encima de las rodillas, algo que iba en contra de la etiqueta impuesta por la Casa Real británica.

Diana matched the dress with a fancy pearl necklace, earrings, bracelet, ring, black tights, high heels and a purse in black.

Besides her impressive looking, this outfit was a statement, because she was breaking the protocol rules wearing that dress. First, black color is reserved for official mourning, and second, exposing shoulders and legs over the knee was against the protocol of the British Royal Family.

INSPIRACIÓN / INSPIRATION

Podemos encontrar algunas referencias en películas como Desayuno con Diamanes (1961) donde Audrey Hepburn aparece en escena con el mítico LBD de Givenchy acompañado de una elegante gargantilla de perlas al igual que Diana. También, al final de Grease (1978), Olivia Newton-John hace una aparición impresionante utilizando un top con cuello Bardot, que también recuerda mucho al vestido de Lady Di.

This look have some similarities with iconic outfits in films history. For example, in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Audrey Hepburn opens the film with the well-known Givenchy’s LBD and a lavish pearl necklace just as Diana. Also, at the end in Grease (1978), Olivia Newton-John makes an impressive appearance wearing a Bardot neckline top with close resemblance to the «Revenge Dress».

ACCESSORIES

The funny thing about creating summer looks is playing with accessories. Besides the wigs already mentioned, there are a huge number of items we can add to our outfits.

Jewelry is always a must. Adding these little things, our outfits will be completed and more defined. Of course, it is not necessary to wear all at the same time, but picking the right piece for every occasion.

In my opinion, drop earrings work very well to level up a look without much effort. Nevertheless, every person is different and perhaps you prefer an ethnic bracelet or a set of golden rings as your favourite accessory for summer. It’s up to you.
