Fashion Inspiration on Film

Scene from West Side Story

The Times Online recently posted their selection for the “25 movies that shook the world of fashion.” Among their nominees are classics like Annie Hall and Grey Gardens, as well as the unexpected Avatar, Zoolander. Missing: Desk Set and The Apartment (two personal fashion favs).

So, if your in the mood for some research (or maybe just in the mood to curl up on the couch with a glass of wine) check out of these films and get inspired.
