EDITED SCREEN CAPS MOSTLY FROM PERIOD MOVIES

Pretty Baby (1978), starred by Brooke Shields as Violet, the young girl who was born and raised in a brothel, is a story told by the time Storyville was the legalized red-light district of New Orleans. Beautifully directed by the not always remembered Louis Malle, the film borrowed the mysterious and inspiring figure of photographer E. J. Bellocq (1873-1949), who actually photographed prostitutes in "The District", as the area used to be referred by locals. The character is adapted according to the story's circumstances by the use of endless creative liberty, as Bellocq, played by Keith Carradine, becomes Violet's love interest. The movie caused a lot of controversy by the time it was released, and it still does nowadays, because of its sexual content revolving around a 12-year-old child. Disturbed viewer's opinions apart, Pretty Baby's costumes make me dream of an antique inspired wardrobe, from the lingerie spotted during night at Madame Nell's mansion, to the innocent white or cream coloured lacy dresses worn at day time, not to mention bows, hats and ribbons. Funny to think how fashion would drastically change in the course of a few years.
