A galaxy of stars, all dressed in glamorous attires on the silver screen, turns back the clock by millenniums, inviting the audience to an imperial banquet, the murky deep of the martial realm, haunting labyrinths of the netherworld or an encounter with the peerless beauty of a distant kingdom.

A wardrobe of 18 sets of period costumes weaves together the myriad of stories from different cinematic dynasties. These timeless fashion statements from movies speak for the designers and their always glamourous on-screen models. The clock is turned back for all to travel back in time and space.
