Metropolis was truly a groundbreaking film and has influenced scores of movie makers since its debut in 1927. This silent film era gem has also inspired countless music videos, fashion editorial spreads, and fashion collections.

The average consumer no longer cherishes the things they purchase in part because items are so cheap. A new exhibit at Rhode Island School of Design celebrates the art of repair in an effort to promote more sustainable practices.
