Fashion Designers On Film Givenchy Breakfast At Tiffany's
Possibly the most famous of all movie fashion icons, waifish Audrey Hepburn's turn as Holly Golightly was almost as influential as Coco Chanel herself in launching the Little Black Dress.

Unsurprisingly, Hepburn was something of a muse for Givenchy, and wore the designer's outfits in many of her films and throughout her life.

Cool. Read More

... that the not so famous, but nonetheless very talented British tailors who have influenced a number of legendary movie characters haven't been mentioned in the list. My top votes would go to Anthony Sinclair, who created the original James Bond look together with Terence Young, and Douglas Hayward, who gave The Italian Job's Charlie Crocker his Swinging Sixties style.
