1950s Swag according to "Cadillac Records"

for those of you true FashioNovas who appreciate official style and charisma, Cadillac Records is a must-see!! the film provides great story about music, including the rise and subsequent fall of Chess Records and its musicians, with top-notch acting from Jeffrey Wright, Adrian Brody, and Columbus Short to name a few. in addition, 'Cadillac's' Costume Designer Johnetta Boone did an exquisite job by taking the audience back into the 1950's, an era when people spoke through their appearance. if you haven't already, go and see Cadillac Records if for nothing other than to take a few notes from the swag seen throughout this flick.

as an added bonus, the Cadillacs in this movie are no joke! here's just a couple out of the many seen throughout the film...
