“the difference between STYLE and fashion is quality”
La Dolce Vita
Frederico Fellini’s movie is one of the most stylish films ever made.
Fellini was inspired by ‘sack dresses’ designed by Spanish
fashion house Balenciaga. When he put a black sack dress on
Ekberg, while she stood in the Trevi fountain, it became one of
the most iconic movie scenes ever. It is no wonder the film later
won the best costume at the academy awards.
Bonny and Clyde
Looking stylish while stealing money is possible only in the
movies. Although set in the 1930s, the Bonnie’s wardrobe
with berets, long skirts, tweed and fine knits has a seventies
feel. Combined with a bob hairstyle, the stylish look became
an instant trend-setting sensation.

Some Like It Hot
It is a must see movie for any fan of fashion. Orry Kelly won the
best costume design for this picture, and deservedly so. With
risqué outfits that left little to the imagination, two cross dressing males and Marilyn Monroe in nude chiffon cocktail dress!
Belle de Jour
Yves Saint Laurent styled a film star Catherine Deneuve
in a wardrobe that managed to make even a prostitute
look elegant. Her tailored coats and dresses, knee length
pencil skirts and that just rolled out of bed look, are still
hot in the fashion world today.
