Wesley Wales "Wes" Anderson (born May 1, 1969) is an American movie director and screenwriter.[1]

In 2015, Anderson designed the Prada Cafè Bar Luce of Milano for the Italian luxury company Prada, as it was a 50s years film to recall the iconic design of Milan's design palaces of that era.

He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Royal Tenenbaums in 2001 and Moonrise Kingdom in 2012, and for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for Fantastic Mr. Fox in 2009.

Wes Anderson's filmmaking style is marked by symmetrical composition, distinct color palettes, quirky characters, detailed set design, unique narrative structure, exploration of themes, nostalgia, dry humor, distinct typography, and original scores.[2]
