1.

Malcolm & Marie

Netflix's newly released drama Malcolm & Marie, written and directed by Euphoria creator Sam Levinson is an intimate and intoxicating film about the dichotomy between art and its subjects and critics. Starring Zendaya and John David Washington the film was shot in black and white, and styled by costume designer and image architect Law Roach who wanted the costumes to be as timeless as possible, so that the film would resonate just as well 20 years from now. Zendaya’s metallic dress is a major fashion moment!

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

Bon appétit! This 1989 sexy crime drama by Peter Greenaway has enough revenge, murder, scandal, sex, shoulder pads and high heels to get your blood pumping. But what’s really going to push you to climax? The absolutely stunning costume design by Jean Paul Gaultier complete with rich, blood-red hues, cinched waists, and enough caged bodices to send you into euphoria.
