FILM 47.26 Film and Fashion: Dressing the Part
This course examines the interrelations between film, costuming, and fashion cultures. We will look at theories of fashion, “the fashioned body,” and costume, reading them against trends in fashionable dress, body image, and fashion subcultures, as well as against histories of film costuming and spectacle. Screenings include media texts from different historical periods that reflect or have influenced fashion of their time and/or represent interesting challenges for costuming.
