Apropos on a Friday afternoon, I& #39;ve decided to do a thread of my favourite ever costuming in cinema. To begin with: Thea Van Runkle and Alan Levine& #39;s work on McQueen and Dunaway in the & #39;68 Thomas Crown Affair.
The architecture & fashions of Mussolini& #39;s Italy in the 30s are brought to life stunningly in Bertolucci& #39;s The Conformist. The costumer, Gitt Magrini, also did Last Tango in Paris and La Notte.
C& #39;mon now, do you know me at all? No way I couldn& #39;t mention the Armani fashions in American Gigolo.
Edith Head giving all the extra she could possibly give in 1964 comedy What a Way to Go! Shirley Maclaine& #39;s wigs alone deserve an award.
Alain Delon looking absolutely delicious as faux playboy Tom Ripley in Plein Soleil (1960)
This suit and old-style grey homburg hat on Fred Williamson in Black Caesar (1973), though the man wore all his clothes pretty damn well
