Hollywood has always been a trendsetter; it helped launch fashion trends from a movie or the red carpet. Fashionistas have always tried to copy the look of their favorite movie star. In the 1930s a clothing pattern company launched its Hollywood Patterns, cashing in the public hunger to have that Hollywood movie star look.
