Movies Inspiring Fashion

Trends may be set on runways, fashion houses or out on the street, but it is on the silver screen that fashion is created. Movies have always been a source of inspiration when it comes to all things fashionable. There have been a lot of movies that have fashion or the fashion industry as their main theme; on the other hand there are plenty of movies where fashion is an undercurrent. Some of these movies have changed the fashion scenario. There are too many films to name, but here are some of the most memorable ones.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Breakfast at Tiffany’s: Let us start with one of the classics. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of the most loved movies of all time. This film is known for its romance, the cast and their acting and of course the style trends it created. One of the first appearances of the little black dress was seen in this movie, which was donned by Audrey Hepburn. The look was classically simple, refined, glamorous and elegant. 

Annie Hall

Annie Hall: Annie Hall was another trend setting flick in which Dianne Keaton made menswear look alluring and feminine. Her costumes throughout the movie consisted of trousers, shirts and waist coats, a trend that is still considered classic.

The Talented Mr. Ripley

The Talented Mr. Ripley: A psychological thriller, The Talented Mr. Ripley did amazingly in the box office.
