Trivia
The bulk of the movie is set in Paris, France, but the majority of it is filmed in Budapest, Hungary. With the exception of stock footage of the inter-scenes, the only time notable Paris landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and Sacre Coeur, are seen are in scenes with Brooke D'Orsay, Gilles Marini, and/or Paloma Coquant, thus they're the only three of the cast that probably ever stepped foot in Paris for filming.

Goofs
When Lauren is in the warehouse and two thugs come in, she ducks behind some pallets. When the camera is in front of her, she is in a position that she can obviously be seen from the back and thus by the thugs. When the camera is behind her, she cannot be seen.

Homage to Detective Duos

"Crimes of Fashion" is a delightful homage to classic detective series like "Moonlighting," boasting a charming blend of humor, mystery, and style. Gilles Marini and Brooke D'Orsay command the screen as the film's charismatic leads, infusing their characters with wit and chemistry reminiscent of the iconic duo from the '80s. Marini's suave demeanor and D'Orsay's charm create a dynamic partnership that keeps audiences thoroughly entertained from start to finish.

One of the film's strengths lies in its nostalgic appeal, evoking fond memories of classic detective shows with its playful banter and stylish aesthetic. Fans of "Moonlighting" will particularly appreciate the dynamic between Marini and D'Orsay, which harkens back to the iconic partnership of Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. However, "Crimes of Fashion" manages to carve out its own identity and fresh take on the genre.

The stylish costumes and cinematography further enhance the movie's visual appeal, transporting viewers into a world of glitz and glamour.

While "Crimes of Fashion" may not be a groundbreaking masterpiece, it succeeds in delivering an enjoyable and entertaining experience for audiences of all ages.
