Last Night In Soho: 8 Big Questions Left Unanswered

8. What Happened To The Newspaper Dress?

A delightful opening scene introduces Eloise in a 60s-style dress made entirely of newspaper. Thanks to the sound effects, we know for sure that it's meant to be real newspaper as opposed to simply newspaper-printed fabric.

While it's a fantastic visual, and a charming introduction to both the character and the film's aesthetics, it also stands completely apart from anything else Ellie designs throughout the film. One of her fashion show dresses at the end has some ugly silver material that could possibly be duct tape, but otherwise, her DIY-heavy style from the opening never pops up again.

It seems like a small point, but it's pretty major when you consider the missed potential. If this were Ellie's default style, the ridicule she gets for wearing homemade clothing (at a design school of all places) might make marginally more sense. And when she begins making more traditional 60s-style clothing, it would show that her experiences with Sandie are taking her further away from her core creative identity. This could pay off with a return to her original, more homespun style at the very end.

Instead, it's just a single great visual, and a number of fashion-related plot points make less sense than they might have if this fashion had been kept up or even alluded to throughout the film.
