Celebrating American Business Women’s Day with Linda Styles from IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1994)

Today marks the beginning of fall and American Business Women’s Day. It should only be fitting that Fear Fashion acknowledges Arcane Publishing’s star editor, Linda Styles, seen in the 90s horror film “IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS”. Take a look at her two distinct office looks below!

In the 90s, businesswomen ditched oversized shoulder pads and settled for more relaxed silhouettes. Linda Styles (portrayed by Julie Carmen) shows off a structured look in the form of a grey power skirt suit, with the not-so-typical jacket design accessorized with pearls. Her hair is coiffed in a faux hawk held in place by multiple side combs.

In a second scene, Linda Styles is looking well put together in a wrap dress complemented by classic vertical stripes and a custom belt.
Thin, metal eyeglass frames highlight the look Linda Styles gives her superior when he volunteers her for a last-minute work trip.
Fun fact: The wardrobe production assistant credits on IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS go to Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies, longtime music collaborators of John Carpenter.
