Bring on the Deco! This movie grew on me because of, well the sets & costumes really. I seriously like it now, but it was the fabulous clothing of the 40’s and the unapologetic exuberance of the art deco interiors of the swankier characters that won me over. Check out this foyer of foyers in…

People either loved Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” or they really unloved it. But mix one part Art Deco interior design with three parts opulence and big bucks, and well – what’s not to love? Here are some favorite interiors and visuals from the movie – ripe with inspiration for this designer. Take a look…
