Why Absolutely Fabulous Is Poised To Be Summer’s Most Fashionable Film

by Kristi Mikesky

On the summer movie circuit, remakes seem to be the name of the game, from the female-fronted reprise of Ghostbusters to the hotly anticipated Absolutely Fabulous, which premieres this Friday, July 22. The film is the second coming of the now-iconic ’90s British TV series that follows the antics of BFFs Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone—and the fashion in particular promises to be bigger and better than ever. In an interview with Fashionista, costume designer Rebecca Hale reveals her inspiration—a Kardashian is mentioned—and the host of designers she tapped to bring the women’s fun, limitless style to life for the modern day. Watch the trailer below, then head over to Fashionista for the full download (and get more of the scoop on the buzzed-about Kate Moss cameo).
