Fashion and film have always worked extremely well together. We often see cases where a fashion designer draws from the costume design of a certain film, and other times the leading actresses are dressed by the biggest fashion houses. Here are the movies from the 80s that impress everyone with the slightest interest in the world of fashion with their extraordinary styling.
The 80s are one of the most notable fashion eras. Why not go back in time and conjure up an 80's inspired movie night? Here are the 80s movies that anyone with even a passing interest in fashion should see.
