House: Christian Dior · Designer: John Galliano · Season: Spring/Summer 1998 (Haute Couture)
A truly enchanting show! For his Spring/Summer 1998 couture show, John Galliano staged Dior's collection at the Palais Garnier Opera House, models cascading up and down a marble staircase in corseted, mink-lined, hoop-skirted looks, Art Nouveau motifs, opera coats, and really big hats. Inspired by Marchesa Casati, an eccentric early-20th-century Italian heiress notorious for wreathing herself in live snakes and parading a pet cheetah through Venice. This is one of the most fashion-y fashion shows I've seen, a glimpse into some kind of fancy ball full of women with magical powers and such. Cool!

Answer: Cerruti
In the film, Bateman berates an elderly Chinese dry cleaner and her husband over bloodstained sheets and a suit, screaming, "You can't bleach a Cerruti. Out of the question." Interestingly, this is a change from the book: Bret Easton Ellis's 1991 novel has Bateman say "Soprani" instead, referencing designer Luciano Soprani. Costume-wise, Nino Cerruti himself supplied Christian Bale's on-screen wardrobe for the film, as he did for many acting legends for over 100 films, some of which include Michael Douglass in Wall Street, Richard Gere in Pretty Woman, Don Johnson in Miami Vice (TV Show), and Alain Delon in Mr.Klein (this is also the guy from Le Samouraï; go watch that).
