We've all watched in awe as our favourite onscreen stars model the latest fashion. But now Londoners can get their hands on those vintage marvels.
Angels received a Best Costume Academy award for Laurence Olivier's Hamlet and has landed many more since. On Saturday its opening its doors in Wembley, North London to the public and inviting them to 'buy a bag.'
Shoppers can have any item of clothing they set their eyes on so long as they can fit it into their bag!£20 will buy you a medium sized bag, or £50 a large one and you can fill it with clothes dating from the 1950s to the 1990s.
LCC's Vishala Sri-Pathma went down to have a sneak peak at the collection before they open their doors to the public. She even got to try on a few pieces herself.
Ally Haddow is Angel's top stylist. She says the sales are lots of fun, full of frantic bargain hunter that are quite happy to scrum it out on the shop floor.
"The only hurdle in the way is their ability to cram clothes," says Haddow who has styled the likes of Sienna Miller and Liv Tyler. And its not just for women, there's a whole floor for men's clothing.
They say they plan to sell over 25,000 items of clothing and accessories. Angel stylists have tipped their pair of white 1950's Jimmy Choos to be their best seller.
