Dune-core: how you can give a sci-fi touch to your wardrobe this season

Fashion and cinema share a love affair together, where they feed off each other to enrich each other. An undeniable example of this relationship was the invasion of the color pink everywhere you looked last year, after the premiere of the Barbie movie. Later, we also witnessed the viralization of Priscilla Presley's makeup, following the film directed by Sofia Coppola.

And in the most recent case, the trend scene has been conquered by the Dune-core aesthetic, inspired by the second part of the film Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve, released on March 1. The Dune films are based on his novel of the same name, a futuristic science fiction story in which a series of families fight to gain control of Arrakis, a desert planet where a valuable spice proliferates.

To do this, they not only have to fight each other, but they must also face the inhospitable conditions of the desert, with extreme temperatures, lack of resources such as water and the threat of giant worms. For all this, the film's costumes are a masterful exercise in styling, which perfectly combines the aesthetics inspired by the desert, with touches of futurism and science fiction that characterize the story, as well as garments suitable for functioning in said environment. and emerge victorious from the battle. Do you want to know how to transfer the Dune-core trend to your wardrobe?

To show off the Dune-core style in your daily life, just look at the looks worn by the stars of the film (Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Timothée Chalamet...) during the promotional tour. As well as, of course, in the costumes of the films.

To adapt this style to everyday life, the key is to opt for layering, playing with silhouettes and giving the wardrobe a lot of movement, inspired by the dunes and desert winds. The garments must present striking silhouettes, opting for draping, shoulder pads, corsets, hoods or balaclavas, as well as cargo pants or biker boots. Remember that, in some way, you must look like you are ready for a battle in the middle of the desert.

In the color range, earth tones will be the protagonists. Of course there is also room for metallic colors, appealing to that futuristic and science fiction style.

And regarding fabrics, opt for resistant textiles such as leather or imitation leather, as well as woven garments with openings, again imitating the fluidity of the dunes and the movement of the sand. With a more striking nuance, sequins and glitter will also have a place, taking as inspiration the dresses chosen by Zendaya and Florence Pugh for the red carpets on the occasion of the film's premiere.
