Plot Synopsis

New York-based fashion and jewelry expert Michael O'Connor hosts this series, which looks at how influential styles in the movies became the trends we see in pop culture. These trends range from the iconic to the decadent and from the contemporary to the revolutionary, and each 30-minute episodes highlights a single topic or time period.
