NAME-DROPPING KILLER LOOK


TIE GAMES AND BROAD SHOULDERS
The characters in AMERICAN PSYCHO are captive to 1987's fashion. Costume designer ISIS MUSSENDEN describes the late 80ies look as much bigger than now and with shoulders using a lots of pads. When Bateman (Christan Bale), a handsome young urban professional is feeling powerful, he wears a RED TIE, and a shirt with bold stripes. But in weaker moments he appears in a lighter suit and a less flattering YELLOW TIE.>>> SOHO STYLE AND ASIAN INFLUENCE
