Who Made the Suits Worn in Inception?

Esquire interviews Jeffrey Kurland, the costume designer responsible for the suits and other stylish sartorial aspects of Inception.

All of the clothes were designed solely for the film, because of the originality of the script, and the story itself. What I was trying to do was create a kind of corporate atmosphere that's not futuristic but that you could not date. You couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.

This movie was designed entirely by me — made by me. The fabrics were all bought and found. I had my tailors at Dennis Kim make the suits, my shirt maker, Anto of Beverly Hills, made all of the shirts, and the dresses were made in my dress shop here in Los Angeles.

I chose sharp lines, considering their field is architecture; there are peaked lapels on several things. There are windowpane patterns, plaids, and glen plaids, but each character has their own color palette.

Keds by Jenny Holzer

Jenny Holzer designed a couple pairs of Keds to benefit the Whitney Museum of Art.

“Protect Me From What I Want,” a line from her 1980s “Survival” series, was printed on canvas for versions of black-and-white high-tops ($75) and low-tops ($70), to be sold starting July 8 at Bloomingdale’s.

Love/hate this.

The Sneaker Coloring Book

This coloring book got all growns up and became a sneaker freak. The Sneaker Colouring Book features 100 black-and-white line drawings of popular and iconic sneakers by Adidas, Converse, New Balance, Nike, Onitsuka Tiger, Puma, Reebok and Vans from 1916 to present.

I ordered this book as an early Christmas present to myself and I was able to buy it online from Chronicle Books with a 30% off discount plus free shipping thanks to my Google Fu (it is strong).
