In creating their forthcoming Autumn/Winter 2010 ‘Nightmare on Wall Street’ range, notorious Sydney fashion house Romance Was Born creators Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett were inspired by films as varied as Working Girl, American Psycho and Nightmare on Elm Street. The results include jewel-encrusted sweaters, leotards bearing a print of gold watches, fake dripping blood and ruffles, lace and dollar bills galore.
In turn, the collection inspired Kris Moyes and writing partner Ben North to pen City Limits, a short film which follows Katherine Bowden (played by model Tanja Gacic), a wealthy and tyrannical bombshell magnate who embarks on a murderous revenge spree after discovering the betrayal of her financial adviser, Egg, who has squandered her cash and is planning to leave the country. It’s safe to say audiences can expect strong, sassy ladies, glitter and gunplay, the results of excessive hairspray and eyeshadow applications, and plenty of dolla, dolla bills.
