Sophisticated, artistic and iconic: just like yesterday even today, her style remains enviable

Sofia Coppola certainly needs no introduction: daughter of art (her father&nbsp;Francis Ford Coppola), actress and director, she succeeded in the difficult aim of carving out her own space in the world still dominated by massive Hollywood names, becoming in a short amount of time one of the best directors of our times thanks to The Virgins Suicides , written and directed by her, which, positively received by critics and nominated several times as best emerging film, launched her in the Hall of Fame. Her ability to capture attention through a screen is undeniable, but Sofia&#39;s style does not go unnoticed either, which made her one of the It-girls of the 90s and which still remains a source of inspiration for anyone looking for a rock touch for an outfit.

Before the Lisbon family, before&nbsp;Tokyo and Elle Fanning as Cleo in Somewhere , Sofia Coppola was a young girl from Los Angeles almost a model and almost an actress (a small part in the Godfather ) who worked her way through vintage shops, photo shoots and ateliers of&nbsp;Chanel (together with Karl Lagerfeld himself): since childhood the girl had always shown a particular interest in fashion, to the point of crowning her dream with a clothing line of her own: it was 1994 and MILKFED became the object of cult of all the it girls of the moment. With graphic baby tee , slip dress and pinstripe trousers, the clothing line (still available in Japan) presented in a Sherry-Netherland suite in New York to personalities of the caliber of Polly Mellen (internationally renowned stylist), was the flagship in the wardrobe of all the girls who wanted to savor at least for a day, what it meant to live the life of a Coppola.

Far from the times when her life was printed on the covers of magaines, the style of Coppola is today synonymous of essential elegance, best picturing the image of the award-winning woman as she is; but the past is not erased, fortunately, and her&nbsp;gritty looks remain immortalized by photographs with a vintage air. Coppola&#39;s 90s were iconic and so was her wardrobe, to recreate it you can&#39;t miss the spaghetti strap&nbsp;dresses (preferably silk!), graphic t-shirts (in full Milkfed style), moccasins (unforgettable the pink ones by Gucci for a date with Keanu Reeves), miniskirt and long hair to go with a dark lipstick .
