In anticipation of Focus Features’ Anna Karenina, Banana Republic has reinterpreted the film’s romantic 19th-century ensembles. “I was given the unique chance to apply my passion for period styles to a collection that translates to fashion today,” says costume designer Jacqueline Durran, who embellished everything from woven lace dresses to beaded velvet box-clutches. $60-$500; bananarepublic.com.
