A new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet has dropped and it’s undoubtedly going to be the best film EVER. Cosmopolis satisfies as everything avant-garde cinema should be; an immaculate journey into weird. Old fashioned and sentimental, Water for Elephants still has much to offer with its very readable costume design. Some images and the latest trailer from Water for Elephants.

Exclusive to Clothes on Film, Leesa Evans explains the tricky art of dressing six very different comic characters in Bridesmaids, i.e not overselling the humour. Leaning primarily to comedy, Leesa Evans has been lead costume designer on over twenty films, including American Pie (1999) and Josie and the Pussycats (2001).

Director Robert Benton opted for a permanent autumn in New York City, artistically maintained through its year long storyline.

Joanna’s appearance is regimented by control and routine, and nearly always finished by that epitome of late 1970s chic and impending yuppiedom, a three quarter length Burberry trench coat.
