SCANDAL’s RINA; “It’s me RINA” Style Book Translations Part 2 of 5 - MOVIE & DUAL

“Movies are an inspiration to making songs. With the fashion and stimulation, they are an important essence to RINA♥ I love movies, and I’ve watched countless of them. The ones I like are European movies between the 60’s to 80’s era. They have a unique world, and I find myself naturally warped into that time.”

In this section, Rina pays hommage to some of her favourite movies, by dressing up in fashion as inspired by them. She transforms into a ‘Bad girl’, as Mathilda from Léon: The Professional, then into the sweet and girly Lux Lisbon, from The Virgin Suicides.

Rina also selects 15 of her all-time favourite films. They are:

• Daisies
• Léon: The Professional
• The Virgin Suicides
• Blue Is the Warmest Colour
• Ruby Sparks
• Betty Blue
• Identity
• Don’t Deliver Us from Evil
• Prisoners

• Rippu van Winkuru no Hanayome(A Bride for Rip Van Winkle)
• The Danish Girl
• And God Created Woman
• A Perfect World
• A Woman Is a Woman

“Monotone and colour, GOODXBAD…etc. Girls have two sides to them. I am different from who I was yesterday, a person with a 'gap’. I think of wanting to be a 'wonderful woman with 2 sides!’”

In this section, Rina explores the black and white colour scheme, in fashion that are girly sporty, edgy and 'bad’, fashionable and adult-like, and finally, a flashy outfit for the night. She also does a selection of 10 of her favourite fashion-related books.
