It’s been 20 years since the release of Cameron Crowe’s ‘Almost Famous’ and we’re still lusting after Penny Lane’s perfect Afghan Coat. Here’s an extract from the film’s costume designer, Betsy Heimann, talking about our favourite fictional rock and roll heroine:

We first see Penny Lane outside the back entrance of a music venue. Though surrounded by the other girls, she instantly stands out on her own. "She is the leader of the pack. She’s a little bit down-home girl and a little bit of a rock chick,” Heimann says. “Her [regular] style was more casual, the jean-and-beautiful-blouse girl, and then with the very spectacular coat that was her persona, her shield, her cocoon that she could emerge from as a butterfly.”
