~'I Am Love' Best Costume Oscar Nomination~

There is nothing I don't adore about Luca Guadagnino's amazing melodrama I Am Love and I was delighted to hear that the film had received an Oscar nomination for costume design.

Here are a few stills, but definitely rent to film if you haven’t already seen it.
