United Colors of Shirley



"Stylist Shirley Kurata has a signature look. Known for working with fashion favorites Rodarte since their runway debut in 2005, and celebrities from Lena Dunham to Zooey Deschanel, the LA native’s style is driven by a host of mid-century references and a passion for eco-friendly fashion. Making color blocking her own, Kurata's penchant for dressing in uniform has caught on among friends and fans alike. In this film, Kurata’s longtime collaborators Julia Galdo and Cody Cloud, aka photography duo Juco, enlisted a host of faces for a game of dress up:

“We have been longtime fans, and now friends, of Shirley Kurata. She is the type of person who wants to have pure fun, like going to escape rooms and starting conga lines. Our connection to ‘the outfit’ started organically long before this film was even an idea, when Shirley truly just wanted to have matching buddies for social events— simply because it’s fun.

“When this film became a reality, we thought of it as an opportunity to expand our matching outfit circle exponentially—and we did.”
