The 1929 film Pandora's Box was a major stepping stone for cinema in its provacative screenplay and ahead-of-its-time direction by GW Pabst. Louise Brooks is perfectly cast as the iconic and enigmatic vixen Lulu in the film.
She embodies modern sexuality and Gottlieb Hesch's costume designs for Pandora's Box help give her this status. There was great movement and detail in each of the designs.
There is something suggestive in her plunging necklines and cut-outs, not to mention the way each piece falls on Brooks. Some draped off of her shoulder accidentally, but such accidents couldn't have been written any better as they helped lift this classic film to even sexier heights.
