The fantastic Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays 'Arthur', the 'Point Man' responsible for researching the team's targets. As you can see from this suit, Arthur is quite a fashionable gent and snappy dresser.

Marion Cotillard plays the dead ex-wife of Leonardo DiCaprio's character, 'Cobb'. 'Mal' now only exists as part of his subconscious.
This is the outfit she wears when she disrupts Arthur and Cobb's extraction in Saito's dreamscape towards the beginning of the movie.

    1. Bespoke. Roll with Dior Homme or Zenga.

  2. I'm not sure of the brands, I love the clothes as well. Maybe they were custom-made for the movie (they fit so well) - can anyone else help?

  3. I just loved the attire for this film. Does anyone know what Marion Cotillard's character (Mal) was wearing in the hotel scene?

  4. Are these items still there? Could you get a closer picture of the dream-case? I'm curious about the open metal flap in the corner...what's behind that?

  5. It's no longer on display at ArcLight Sherman Oaks and i'm not sure if you could see from that angle either.

    You should be able to double-click the photo for a bigger version if that helps.

  7. Thank you so much, not sure how I missed that (must be the similar leather jackets), have amended accordingly.

  8. Hey Jason, thanks for these awesome pics. I've been hunting for Leonardo's tie for weeks (the one he wore on the airplane): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GIchwvJ-aNk/TDziUT4x_DI/AAAAAAAASyk/usKuVIcsIG4/s800/Inception+Leonardo+DiCaprio+costume+.jpg)

    Was wondering if you had any more close-up shots of his tie? Thanks!

  14. Bespoke. If you want similar style,

    Arthur = Dior Homme.(See JGL's spread in GQ.)
    Eames = Dolce Gabanna.
    Cobb = Calvin Klein.
    Saito = Armani. (The guy who could buy an airline would never stoop to Armani but if you really need it, yeah, close enough.)

    And if in doubt, go with Zenga. Unless you're dressing like Cobb, that will supply anything you need.

  15. Anto Beverley Hills is responsible for almost all their clothing. I’ve reached out to them. They can remake any of these outfits for clients and ofcourse it’ll cost a pretty penny as it’s all bespoke.
