Walk on the wild side with this safari
jacket by Jason Wu (£1,795). Pair with a
closefitting top like Body Editions’ body suit
(£270) to create a balanced look. Add a
knee-length pencil skirt (Marni, £190) and
wooden-heeled sandals (Chloe, £510) to
keep things fresh. Complete the look with a
small crossbody bag, like Bottega Veneta’s
Nappa (£935).

One of Sigourney Weaver’s most storied
performances was her role as the
impassioned and fearless naturalist in this
classic 1980s biopic. But even playing a
part that demanded seriousness, she made
sure to remember Dian Fossey’s resolute
elegance in the forests of East Africa.

Set amid the haunting stillness of the
Pennsylvania countryside, the seminal
hunting scene in the beginning of the
classic 1970s film is a study in masculinity,
its strange rituals and unspoken sense
of brotherhood. From the get-go, Robert
De Niro holds center stage. If his burning
intensity didn’t already make it hard to
focus on the rest of the ensemble cast, his
hunting jacket seals the deal. Stalk your
prey in a similar sartorial vein with Burberry
Prorsum’s bright red coat (€1,800),
Balenciaga jeans (£295) and dark green
J. Crew beanie (£70). A pair of Red Wing’s
Beckman boots (£260) wouldn’t look
amiss on a hardy Pennsylvania steelworker
and they won’t with you either
