[01]
The creator analyzes the fashion in the movie 'Casino,' starting with a specific salmon suit worn by Robert De Niro. He showcases several other outfits, provides context on the film's $1 million costume budget, and explains how the excessive and increasingly bold suits reflect the character's development and the story's theme of Las Vegas excess. The creator concludes by connecting director Martin Scorsese's attention to detail to his family's background in the garment industry, positioning the film as a major source of fashion inspiration.

Good at this fit. A salmon suit jacket, white flared trousers, and a pink shirt with matching tie. This is just one of 44 different suits Robert De Niro wears in No, one of Scorsese's fashion masterpieces. We have this checkered jacket with gold silk tier, the more relaxed plaid with the open yellow shirt, or this more sleek gray windowpane suit, finely fitted and complete with peaked lapels, burgundy tier, and pocket square. The movie had a $1,000,000 costume budget with most of it going to De Niro's fully tailored wardrobe. Does this mean it's the film with the biggest costume budget of all time? No. That would be Sex and the City two. 10 mil on designer bullshit. But the point is, they didn't hold back. Every suit was tailored in New York, not a single thread of polyester was used, and every fit had backup options for accessories and tires. Is it excessive? Of course. That's the point. Casino is about the mafia taking over Las Vegas in the seventies and eighties. Excess is the law of the land, and Ace is the king. And just because it's over the top doesn't mean it's careless. It's part of the story. As Ace becomes more brazen, more unhinged, and takes on the Las Vegas lifestyle more, his suits become brighter, more daring. He dresses to be the center of attention, and there's a reason why. Manscrosese grew up in the neighborhood of Little Italy in New York City. His father was a garment better. His mother was a seamstress. This dude's attention to detail for the costumes in his movies is second to none, and for me, the source of some of the greatest sartorial influences in film of all time. So next time you need some fashion inspo, just
