There's a moment in the film when Enid is feeling low, takes off her hat, and changes her glasses. I think that scene pretty much sums up the role of clothing in the film. It's hard for me to imagine anyone, or at least anyone interesting, not connecting with Enid's fashion as a part of her struggle for self-identity. In an effort to distinguish herself from the suburban life-style around her, Enid tries on an what she calls a, "1977 original punk rock look." But no one gets it. And the clothing does a beautiful job of telling that story on its own.
