Fashion Designers On Film Giorgio Armani The Untouchables
Brian De Palma made sure that his recreation of the 1930s underworld was entirely populated with sharp-shooting and equally sharp-suited gangsters when he enlisted Giorgio Armani to design the costumes for his cast. Armani's other film credits include dressing Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne exclusively in his hand-made designs for The Dark Knight, supplying clobber for George and Brad for Ocean's Thirteen and sexing up Richard Gere with a pinsharp wardrobe for his turn in American Gigolo (Gere has worn almost exclusively Armani designs onscreen ever since).

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.
