John Hughes' films, particularly Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and The Breakfast Club, are some of the most iconic '80s movies.


They not only influenced a generation when they debuted, but continue to epitomize '80s fashion, music, and mindset for younger generations.


Hughes' character Duckie Dale, featured in Pretty in Pink and played by John Cryer, is arguably one of the most memorable characters John Hughes created.


Cosplayer Jenny Hale has embraced the character of Duckie Dale through spot-on style and attitude. I discovered Jenny on Instagram @alwaysaduckman and was blown away by what I saw.


Jenny is a multi-passionate, multi-disciplinary artist and individual who gives thoughtful analysis to Duckie Dale's character and the work of John Hughes.
