In Anthony Minghella's 1999 film version of "The Talented Mr Ripley", the elegant Italian suits and accessories are symbolic of the lifestyle that impoverished Tom Ripley lusts after. Particularly when they're being worn by the wealthy socialite, Dickie Greenleaf. Ripley ends up acquiring Greenleaf's threads, his tailor and his sartorial sense of style, even if he has to resort to some dark deeds in the process. Mind you I'd have killed to get my hands on some of this stuff too.
