Desperately Seeking Susan

inspired by

Novus Ordo Seclorum

Desperately Seeking Susan is a 1985 American comedy-drama film directed by Susan Seidelman and starring Rosanna Arquette, Aidan Quinn and Madonna.

Set in New York City, the plot involves the interaction between two women – a bored housewife and a bohemian drifter – linked by various messages in the personals section of a newspaper. The film was Madonna's first major screen role and also provided early roles for a number of other well-known performers, such as John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito, Laurie Metcalf and Steven Wright.

The jacket is ICONIC, and holds crucial plot elements throughout the film .. The back of the jacket features a trapunto gold eyelash lamé pyramid with bead embellishment surrounding the top. A red felt banner with braided trim and hand stenciled "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM" which translates to "a new order of the ages (is born)"

Black rubber bracelets complete the look
