I take it you have seen the fashion and film projects Editing Fashion and Moving Fashion on SHOWstudio,that you can see in the Archive section?
Hi, can anyone recommend any websites that discuss the use of fashion in film - in particular those relating to the relatively new wave of labels dressing movies (ie: French Connection / Snatch; Prada / The Devil Wears Prada; Chloe / Wlak the Line etc..)
I am researching for an article and would love to know what is already out there on this subject.
Thanks!

The Fashion in Film festival staged in London during May there had a catalogue that you might find useful. http://www.fashioninfilm.com

You could watch "Blow Up", dir. by Michelangelo Antonioni, an absolute classic.

I second 'Blow Up' - it's amazing. Not sure how much it really has to do with fashion though.

Well, It is not strictly about fashion but has an important part in it since it is about a fashion photographer which is involved in some weird situation. In that movie you can see fashion at a time (sixties) it was having a huge change, an absolute new proposal, I think.

Yeah, you're right - it was definately a document of '60s swinging London'...but the film to me seemed more of a character study of the photographer. It really is a strange movie. It's so vague and little actually happens, but every minute of the movie is compelling.

This is exactly Antonioni Style. It is totally different than "consumer cinema". Blow Up is based on a short story by Julio Cortazar, an Argentinian writer. If you really like to get shocked with Antonioni narrative, just watch his famous trilogy: L'Avventura, La Notte and L'Eclisse. They'll blow your mind. Antonioni's movies don't have neither a beginning nor an end. they are totally unexpected. It's like they get you involved in some unusual way. So in that process of not understanding what's going on, you discover lots of poetry and beauty. It' an unconcious process... He's not explaining you anything, not "serving" you a story, not trying to make you understand it. It is you who tries to do all that...an much more. Antonioni installs in you a sad and pleasant felling of emptiness...
