    On this DnA, design in – and at – the movies.

    The Oscars are upon us but don’t expect any fashion shocks on the red carpet. Simon Doonan talks about how the freebie clothes culture has resulted in actresses wearing “stunningly conventional” gowns. Alissa Walker talks to Geoff McFetridge about a fantasy subway map that has delighted viewers of Her. And Kyle Bergman talks about his upcoming film festival, showcasing movies that find the human heart in the process of creating design and architecture.
