Fashion in Film of TCMFF 2021

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Since the 2021 TCM Classic Film Festival (TCMFF) was a virtual affair, film and fashion historian Kimberly Truhler once again offered the same for her own popular annual event FASHION IN FILM OF TCMFF.

The online presentation will delve into the stories behind the style of 7 films featured in the festival’s programming – both on TCM and on HBOMax. As always, you will enjoy beautiful movie stills and images from today’s fashion accompanied by a conversation about film history, costume and fashion designers, and backstories of the stars.

Studios used costume design to draw audiences to the theaters when these films first premiered and it continues to be behind much of their ongoing popularity today.

In addition, many of the actors and actresses were close with their costume designers, so you can get insights into their lives and the evolution of their style. You’ll also discover how many of these costumes continue to influence fashion today.

This year’s presentation includes:

THE THIN MAN (1934)
TOP HAT (1935)
HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940)
NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959)
BREATHLESS (1960)
BULLITT (1968)
LOVE STORY (1970)
