Cinema has captured the pulse of the 30's in many a film. Movies such as Water for elephants, Atonement (who can forget Keira Knightley's that green dress?) and The Kings Speech give us a peek into the trends of the times. And of course, there was The Aviator, that captured everything Howard Hughes' dapper, three-piece suits to Katharine Hepburn's iconic, androgynous style and Ava Gardner's glamourous backless, bias-cut gowns and furs.
