Fashion in Film (by Christopher Lavery)

I got this book as a gift, and this is such a great book! The book reviews the films, costumes, designers and major fashion houses behind the costume designs in the most iconic films you all know: Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Kill Bill, The Devil Wears Prada and more. A great coffee table book to refer to when looking for inspiration.
