We all love movies and fashion but have we ever thought about how these two worlds come together? Well, it’s time to find out and this book helps us do so.

Actually, the fact that Karl Lagerfeld was inspired by the dystopian vision of “Metropolis” and as Wes Anderson’s movies echo in Miuccia Prada’s collections, we realize that the world’s most creative fashion minds have always found their inspiration in screen idols up until now.

Diving deeper into this connection, fashion historian Amber Butchart takes us 100 years back in time and discovers the cinema style and its traces on the runways. Featuring photographs of fashion designs and the films that inspired them, this book is simply a must-have for any style lover.
