Kemal + Karla

Inception – great movie from director Christopher Nolan. Full of crazy mind-bending twists and turns but one really enjoyable part is the men’s costumes. Absolutely immaculate three-piece suits, sophisticato tie knots, Japanese-inspired tuxedo’s with kimono wrap shirts, perfectly worn brown leather jackets for the shoot-em-up scenes.

Our favorite character is Tom Hardy’s ‘Eames’ who wore an inspiring combination of retro-styled printed Cuban shirts, true-waist pleated trousers and wool shawl collar sport coats with Italian and French notes. Sadly, we haven’t been able to locate any good photos of his looks so you’ll just have to go see the film for yourself!

Oh, and it turns out the costume designer Jeffrey Kurland designed every outfit himself and had them custom-made of vintage and found fabrics! Read more about it here on Esquire magazine’s blog.
