Inspired by 11 Harrowhouse

Target practice is sleek noire (even in the basement of an old English castle):

Moto Jacket by Emerson Made

Cut Out Diamond Necklace by In God We Trust

Planning a heist with your main squeeze:

Vintage Rugby by Lacoste

Modeled by the legendary Kareem Abdul Jabbar (in cut-out form, but gorgeous nonetheless)

Onitsuka Tigers by Asics, Ultimate 81

(quick get-aways are critical in heisting, so are loud, proud 70s colors)

Hoops, shades and attitude, because you drive the cars during the chase:

14 kt Gold Filled, 1.5 inch Hoops by Hot Hoops

Oversized Sunglasses by Marc Jacobs

Driving Gloves by Kiki de Montparnasse

And the pre-heist wheels

Rooftop acrobatics by moonlight:

Drop Crotch Overalls, Factory by Erika Hart

Cap by A.P.C.

(to hide those glittering eyes)

Other accessories:

Vintage diamonds of another kind...

...to listen to the obvious soundtrack.

And 11 Harrowhouse snacks---what else but whiskey and chocolate cake? (sans la cucaracha)

Film: 11 Harrowhouse (1974) [Aram Avakian, Dir.]

Rainy day in the ol' Pueblo and there is no better matinee, than a heist matinee. Cast of 70s awesomeness includes Charles Grodin (thoroughly unimpressed by anyone, including himself), Candice Bergen (never hotter or more fun), James Mason (mellow and superior in all ways) and dastardly Brits Trevor Howard and John Gielgud.

Creme de menthe is the diamond dealer's drink of choice.

Diamonds, roaches (key to the climax!), roof top acrobatics and a car chase across a sprawling English estate---11 Harrowhouse is a winkingdelight. A legit post-modern diamond heist, with a babe as our action jackson and an anti-hero confronting the international diamond industry.

70s era second wave feminism influences the love story as playful and flippant with Bergen's character, Maren Shirell the ace and foil to Grodin's general schlemiel-esque hero (whose noncommittal voiceover masterminds the heist). Grodin is H.R. Chesser, a small time diamond dealer, who takes on the premiere London diamond house, with the aid of James Mason's Charles Watts, a diamond expert with a secret of his own..

A strategy based on the chocolate cake principle?

A Burberry and bowler meeting.

Chesser: "And I bought this terrific outfit and everything."

Note: Obviously Grodin cut his chops on 11 Harrowhouse before starring in the greatest diamond heist of all time, The Great Muppet Caper.
