There are good movies, and then there are movies so memorable because the costumes have become a part of the story and characters. It's likely you've seen a dress on the runway or a cool outfit on the streets that's inspired by one of the following chic movies. For their costumes are not just visual pleasure, but also set or inspire trends that still live on today. If you love fashion, you'll love these movies.
4. Léon the Professional (1994)
Luc Besson’s movie about a professional hit-man who begrudgingly takes in a twelve-year-old girl didn’t merely reflect the edgy street fashion of the 90s; it inspired trends that are making a comeback today. Hand-made by designer Magali Guidasci, the costumes that young Natalie Portman wore add so much to her character Mathilda’s personality. The combo of a black choker, bomber jacket, crop top and short shorts over big boots is a common sight on today’s streets, and you can trace the source back to Mathilda. Fashion-forward guys also find inspiration from Léon the hit-man and his signature sleek look of a beanie and trench coat.
