Film has always had an enormous impact on fashion. 

 

For example, by creating a wardrobe for Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hubert Givenchy created some of the most iconic and enduring fashion images ever, solidifying Audrey's reputation as one of the most elegant women in history.

 

In 1955's The Seven Year Itch, Marilyn Monroe wore what became one of the most famous dresses of all time, designed by William Travilla, and paired with Ferragamo stilettos. Everlastingly imprinted on the brain is the image of that white halterneck, and Marilyn fighting to control the swirling skirt above the subway grating.

 

 

In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,  who could ever forget that wonderful fuschia pink strapless dress she wore as men fought for her attention as she sang Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend?

 

Heartbreakingly beautiful, broodingly sexy, bad boy Marlon Brando made an impact in On the Waterfront and a Streetcar Named Desire.  He made the T-shirt, leather jacket and jeans a male fashion staple that is as relevant today as it was in the 1950's.

 

Yves St Laurent dressed Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour, and she remained his muse for years. This dress is as stylish today as it was in 1967. Prim, proper, and elegant...the ideal attire for misspent afternoons.
