Film: The Great Gatsby

Baz Luhrman's adaptation of the famous book and earlier film, The Great Gatsby was incredibly powerful because of the costuming that served to drive the script. Each character's clothing helped to situate them both in the 1920's as a time period and also in their own personal journey throughout the movie. After its release, the effect on the fashion community was visible as stores from Tiffany to Banana Republic began to carry Gatsby-inspired looks.
