For costume designer Theadore Van Runkle, this was her first movie as a costume designer. For 1930s fashion the glamour was pinstripes, mid skirts and berets.
A big fashion trend to hit the high street after this picture was the revival of the beret, in France more than double beret's were produced after the pictures release. The beret had originally been popular in the 1930s being worn by American women but had fallen out of fashion since.
The fashion worn by Bonnie and Clyde had to be liveable, given there occupation on the road, sleeping in cars and the ability to be able to run at a moments notice meant that clothing for them was comfortable and not constricting, making it popular with the mass market, in 1930 and today.
Fashion label Akris have a collection for 2014 fall with influences of this era present.
