If you aren't a Gatsby fan but appreciate fashion, then this movie will not disappoint. Costume designer Catherine Martin, (who happens to be the wife of genius Gatsby director, Baz Luhrmann)alongside Brooks Brothers brought the 1920s era to life in true extravagant fashion. The film showcased 1,700 costume pieces, one more lavished then the next. Martin teamed
up with Prada to dress Gatsby party extras. 40 gowns were modified from
the Miu Miu and Prada archives to provide attire as flashy as Gatsby
himself.
And as if the Martin/Prada collaboration wasn't spectacular enough, Tiffany & Co. designed the exquisite jewelry collection, including the infamous Savoy diamond and cultured pearls headpiece worn by Daisy Buchanan. The headpiece is featured in Tiffany's new Jazz Age Glamour collection for a modest $200,000. Other items included in the collection are the sterling silver and black enamel monogrammed JG cufflinks and platinum chandelier earrings encrusted in diamonds.
