Cinema Style is a celebration of design, inspiration, trends and above all, style in the movies. Production design and set decoration (for the layman, think architecture and interior design) will be one of the primary topics featured and since style is an advanced form of fashion, the blog will cover that too from time to time. And to be all inclusive, television will be covered as well. Essentially, Cinema Style is about all things cinema.
