In her discussion she explains the role of a costume designer -- which is to create looks that work cohesively with the character as well as the overall narrative of the film. A couterier, on the other hand, is more likely to create pieces that are more spectacular-- looks that take on a life of their own apart from the character who is wearing them. This can be seen with regard to the givenchy ball gown worn by audrey hepburn in sabrina. The audience becomes captivated by the beauty of the dress itself.<br /><br />Bruzzi suggests that there is an independent alternative when it comes to costume design. The costumes need not be a distraction nor silent, they can be admired as their own entity.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> </span></span></span><!--StartFragment--></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(68, 68, 68); "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizidlH1AuEVOEIOWYaxq_HHtf1URIffr1G0iztZ043F4jTpDg67WY0v3O6hyhK0bxL-ywDEshKg-hhmhuGSeoSt1Fnz-mHY4DEKuZQHtnRjQzojxo4VUBfx6UsjEWpYBYw_6HscNcf2Hle/s1600/1251747323-valentino.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizidlH1AuEVOEIOWYaxq_HHtf1URIffr1G0iztZ043F4jTpDg67WY0v3O6hyhK0bxL-ywDEshKg-hhmhuGSeoSt1Fnz-mHY4DEKuZQHtnRjQzojxo4VUBfx6UsjEWpYBYw_6HscNcf2Hle/s320/1251747323-valentino.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551026147182736834" style="text-align: center; float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 320px; " /></a></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">“Valentino, the Movie” by Cathy Horyn</span></span></b></span></div></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><b></b></span></span></p><b><p class="MsoNormal" style="display: inline !important; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Cathy Horyn interviewd Matt Tyrnauer, the director of </span></span></span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Valentino: The Last Emperor</span></span></span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> for </span></span></span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The New York Times Magazine</span></span></span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">. When asked questions about the film, it becomes apparent that not only is the Valentino couture dynasty a central focus, but also the relationship Valentino has with his partner, Giancarlo Giametti. The couple bicker and hug, it humanizes Valentino- his public image is only one part of him. Tyrnauer touches on the fact that the world of couture has changed with Valentino having stepped down – he was the last of his kind in the way he ran his business. The film seems to capture him in two different lights – viewers will get to see the image of Valentino they are familiar with (the glamour) but also, audiences will be surprised to see a more humble Valentino. A man with a sense of nostalgia, a man who is well aware of how far he has come and what he has created for himself.</span></span></span></span></p></b></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); "><b><p class="MsoNormal" style="display: inline !important; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"></span></span></span></span></p></b><p></p><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> </span></span><!--EndFragment--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></b><p></p> <!--EndFragment--> </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><b><p class="MsoNormal" style="display: inline !important; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></span></span></p></b></span></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-21677024675595617282010-12-15T01:51:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.247-08:00The Big Lebowski, by Giada Fried<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmIhhSEjgtpLheSdeK11w1kSItXj4bNt4vQc6uRbrhTdaPQdmiD_ndIX3hluyqDxZr71DiCOikfleOdTheW0n1QOeWE25qrKxDipi2i9YgM3LVfg9hBOA0t8eyQmPgtTb91jj2n69XTyo5/s320/03C003C000872144-photo-the-big-lebowski.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550845753239371714" border="0" /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The Big Lebowski is a 1998 American comedy film directed by the Coen brothers. The storyline contains elements of film noire but humor is the overall main driving theme. The shaggy, baggy, un-employed surfer-dude meets bowler looks were created by Mary Zophres, an acclaimed costume designer that has worked on almost all the Coen films (she has won a BAFTA award for O brother, where art thou?).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Jeff Bridges stars as Jeff Lebowski or as he refers to himself "The Dude" - an unemployed L.A. slacker and avid bowler who drinks gallons of White Russians all day long and gets involved in a case of mistaken identity. Throughout the film his look is laid back and embodies the typical casual leisure look. In the first scene we see him walking through a supermarket in his robe and boxers, completely indifferent about his life. Later on we see him in a hoody and striped, baggy pants and then with an oversized wool, old-school sweater. Lebowski's color palette is toned down to earthy, muted colors -perhaps to indicate his social status or maybe to evoke a past era, for the entire film has a bit of a 1970's feel. Another important costume aspect is the importance of bowling, which leads to very specific costume choices. Mary Zophres did a great job at creating the "Lebowski look" - a look that is contemporary yet vintage and that embodies the slacker, california feeling. Together with the film, this specific look has become a cult classic for many around the world.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4Lz179nqi5PIMVQddj72eS5iwyoGIo-h9fJQRVnl3YO5D7UL-jtcGTJcZF95xGfQdv2LOohEVfmP967Vg66qN3NTdH58Wf2Wjn7axuap44DOgLkiumKItDeLqd9Uqp-HOyLO0R9s1Wae/s1600/thebiglebowski.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4Lz179nqi5PIMVQddj72eS5iwyoGIo-h9fJQRVnl3YO5D7UL-jtcGTJcZF95xGfQdv2LOohEVfmP967Vg66qN3NTdH58Wf2Wjn7axuap44DOgLkiumKItDeLqd9Uqp-HOyLO0R9s1Wae/s320/thebiglebowski.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550845758267925762" border="0" style="text-align: center; float: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 181px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAN5zp0Ut2VbH_qUSv8xwa6lWtEeJPp3qDpHI3q5cuNq8mfO1GssqjJQyKr5RoeAFevV20mzaSKhDfK-g56OCWUMbOD0VwIbYWW0ecJNlwZZ-n0YhvkrmySIpJ-rinlEU6sCfmj58km2p0/s320/45001_Big_Lebowski.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550845755675247154" border="0" style="float: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-3448730796412201122010-12-15T01:21:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.262-08:00Tzar (2009) by Tsepkova Varvara<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjt8PYcg2S5PTibI3GLvaZB-TdvfspI4YzZq26Mi1efDFyPP5lFsBA_5-5SXw5xv4T3D4mSQQEo5S-QRjVdtqkfpLpTF82Cj2up47blq4IBMGNQqQh6uFOyKXiWOH1m2HHZuNrHQMzEZrl/s1600/%25D0%2591%25D0%25B5%25D0%25B7%25D1%258B%25D0%25BC%25D1%258F%25D0%25BD%25D0%25BD%25D1%258B%25D0%25B91.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 168px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjt8PYcg2S5PTibI3GLvaZB-TdvfspI4YzZq26Mi1efDFyPP5lFsBA_5-5SXw5xv4T3D4mSQQEo5S-QRjVdtqkfpLpTF82Cj2up47blq4IBMGNQqQh6uFOyKXiWOH1m2HHZuNrHQMzEZrl/s320/%25D0%2591%25D0%25B5%25D0%25B7%25D1%258B%25D0%25BC%25D1%258F%25D0%25BD%25D0%25BD%25D1%258B%25D0%25B91.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550837681386454130" /></a><br />Film Tzar(2009) directed by Pavel Lungin<br />Costume designers: Ekaterina Diminskaia and Natalia Dzubenko.<br />Ekaterina Diminskaia and Natalia Dzubenko received Russian cinema awards in 2009 for the best work on costume for film Tzar(2009).<br />The film tells the story of the first Russian Tzar Ivan the Terrible. In 16th-century Russia in the grip of chaos, Ivan the Terrible strongly believes he is vested with a holy mission.<br />Tzar(2009) is a costume drama. Costume designers worked on traditional costumes of<br />the Tzar as well as recreated costumes of peasants.<br />The costume of the Tzar and nobility were hand made and hand embroidered.<br />Costume designers say that they went to India to get the fabrics for the costumes.<br />Rich fabrics such as velvet and silk were used to design the costumes.<br />A rich color palette is accurate for the costumes of nobility: deep red and deep green, blue.<br />Hats played a great role in the traditional costume of that era and in the film, there was more than 40 hats created for Tzar(2009). Kokoshnick traditional hats were used for girls. All head pieces were hand embroidered.<div><br /><div><br /></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-5768936145125927652010-12-15T00:16:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.304-08:00Mulholland Drive (2001) by Tsepkova Varvara<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSFz3C2_BHNHC-gTHcZZ8Oi4SOHlNeSZrwmQy3KEba-iJlidSJ47CAN1t7Oj4hhTnm4OFPH1etjYoWdAqluC0NfcMGrUprIDO4dBGnPLtKJ-JspPgnmpv-3GNmBIOfHPXa5y8UZEpbBVUu/s1600/9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSFz3C2_BHNHC-gTHcZZ8Oi4SOHlNeSZrwmQy3KEba-iJlidSJ47CAN1t7Oj4hhTnm4OFPH1etjYoWdAqluC0NfcMGrUprIDO4dBGnPLtKJ-JspPgnmpv-3GNmBIOfHPXa5y8UZEpbBVUu/s320/9.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550821276373842258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfPyStSYwIuxkYaqb8YB-bBygR3zPM61kin-2JJVOimdBqWmMke6urCmp77TwXaqDCaVCfvapEZrjKvQc8IQSPi3_1lAu95iGNUIyTqFWqqv0eBQxdjEMui5FlAwW8t1cDPAN0LqTgdfA/s1600/4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBfPyStSYwIuxkYaqb8YB-bBygR3zPM61kin-2JJVOimdBqWmMke6urCmp77TwXaqDCaVCfvapEZrjKvQc8IQSPi3_1lAu95iGNUIyTqFWqqv0eBQxdjEMui5FlAwW8t1cDPAN0LqTgdfA/s320/4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550821213957726562" /></a><br /><div>Lynch in the interview says that there is no particular narrative in Mulholland Drive (2001) and he likes the idea that everyone can intuitively find there own meaning to the film.<br />Mulholland drive(2001) is a statement about Hollywood being a "dream land" versus Hollywood being a very dark place. It is a postmodern film that provides multi layered narrative.<br />David Lynch coming from painting background treats his films as a painting where things are done exactly as they have to be. Each element in the movie plays a great role. Colors are carefully selected as well as objects are placed with meaning.<br />The costume design plays significant role in the narrative of the film and Ana Stofsky as well as Durinda Wood did a great job on costume design of the characters of Mulholland Drive (2001). Through understanding of the costume audience can get closer to the meaning of the movie.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1RsWnplaszdiqEQ5mBjiqbPAW7odyfA_3W5NBSuMPnIsI4q4tn04a0C5yjjfsXS9P1YeqIpU7SgRn2Uxjtb4lhMMEI6NbpcwjKmqTAyxow3P0z6zbngJAxNiKkEWF630lAI08jdQaojwd/s1600/Camilla+and+diane.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1RsWnplaszdiqEQ5mBjiqbPAW7odyfA_3W5NBSuMPnIsI4q4tn04a0C5yjjfsXS9P1YeqIpU7SgRn2Uxjtb4lhMMEI6NbpcwjKmqTAyxow3P0z6zbngJAxNiKkEWF630lAI08jdQaojwd/s320/Camilla+and+diane.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550821067672191874" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 226px; " /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5lKtupujtA-temThvHqF4Rq6h3P8cKgDDK6_HfaXqJZYO2wUJltXYI9ZaQrWS9ziTn6miCveqqww_nyIZMG5g6fVYNhmRm7m28dq-1Gwj8Rv0iFl1iA_875QhfOssH5JMOugXLIecdYln/s1600/Rita+and+betty.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5lKtupujtA-temThvHqF4Rq6h3P8cKgDDK6_HfaXqJZYO2wUJltXYI9ZaQrWS9ziTn6miCveqqww_nyIZMG5g6fVYNhmRm7m28dq-1Gwj8Rv0iFl1iA_875QhfOssH5JMOugXLIecdYln/s320/Rita+and+betty.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550820548159088386" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 226px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-45983191139638771732010-12-14T16:54:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.317-08:00The Prestige (2006): Kanishka Jain<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgng5Hqfau1kqqwnt9fQwsshSMXOq-YfdVW1MIZqGz1RxVF9kE6Oy4n9SGq9PGWsB9BjdC-CVAgK2FgL9zB31ugsANI5qVXaBNbyTo5gZqA6pIwJU350moFRmYQG01srVAMCfbRTDEFIN-B/s1600/200949_225116_1_024.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgng5Hqfau1kqqwnt9fQwsshSMXOq-YfdVW1MIZqGz1RxVF9kE6Oy4n9SGq9PGWsB9BjdC-CVAgK2FgL9zB31ugsANI5qVXaBNbyTo5gZqA6pIwJU350moFRmYQG01srVAMCfbRTDEFIN-B/s320/200949_225116_1_024.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550707117479883570" /></a><br />The period mystery thriller The Prestige 2006 was set in the 19th Century, the film was well directed by Christopher Nolan and got numerous appreciations. Celebrated Costume Designer Joan Bergin designed the typical Victorian era costumes. The primary Protagonist Robert Angier played by Hugh Jackman is a stage magic and is a person with ample wealth and is dressed as the ‘Upper Class’ in the respective time. Bergin designed all the costumes in sync with the character and all of them were custom made.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-eBVcB7itUbcGEgFemwp1GKC6gJgEPeBHWV2BxPxUYLEMfN146vtSnCwRFh-YKE2lB_kUspey7V41KkW2RQONyRBEjUsHo6VWaQk7qVEVtF3pBP4sN_2mvw6ViXIuUWctowJ7SSjkhFOM/s1600/9624134_gal.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-eBVcB7itUbcGEgFemwp1GKC6gJgEPeBHWV2BxPxUYLEMfN146vtSnCwRFh-YKE2lB_kUspey7V41KkW2RQONyRBEjUsHo6VWaQk7qVEVtF3pBP4sN_2mvw6ViXIuUWctowJ7SSjkhFOM/s320/9624134_gal.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550707034441838450" /></a><br />The film was shot in the early 2000’s and the costumes were supposed to be kept very true to its time. So we see the use of tight fitting, calf length frock coats and a waistcoat or vest, cravats or neckties and breeches. The shirts were made of linen or cotton with low collars and were worn with wide cravats. Formal evening dress remained a dark tailcoat and trousers with a dark waistcoat as scene in the scenes where he is presenting on the stage. The protagonist gets on to be designated the title of Lord and thus his dress up later changes according to his status, though the colors grow more towards a sober tone than his earlier dramatic self. Consequently the character achieved the effect of the time line and as a viewer I was well satisfied in imagining the 19th century sensation.<div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-83025717442185828622010-12-13T15:46:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.360-08:00I am Love (David Bazner)<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgonxs6bBhKELfp6lGN70ghA_Vf7giC2p5OScGXmKnhyXx1jToxe44XrSZfJdzZrLuw59AWBGmxqF58JlrI6gvtDlwjxAY51uDMv_bVEbpxs6bsKTzF3Z8he7pVA4yshQhcPmEj7z3m8Rlf/s1600/I-Am-Love-450x270.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgonxs6bBhKELfp6lGN70ghA_Vf7giC2p5OScGXmKnhyXx1jToxe44XrSZfJdzZrLuw59AWBGmxqF58JlrI6gvtDlwjxAY51uDMv_bVEbpxs6bsKTzF3Z8he7pVA4yshQhcPmEj7z3m8Rlf/s320/I-Am-Love-450x270.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550318262303345890" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOSemoREXBg0LukteDAnZ6z_UZniBpOSrHsYL3vusOOprREagGFhffg7xR_jWLYNp22wBxLnriZgT4qaqHOSTI-KrZibPPvccy_u5I3hcwCycJe7G8hFkJ1cCjsWCG1qN9HuPiOpk0HYOJ/s1600/tilda-swinton.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOSemoREXBg0LukteDAnZ6z_UZniBpOSrHsYL3vusOOprREagGFhffg7xR_jWLYNp22wBxLnriZgT4qaqHOSTI-KrZibPPvccy_u5I3hcwCycJe7G8hFkJ1cCjsWCG1qN9HuPiOpk0HYOJ/s320/tilda-swinton.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550318145865370706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEeWk7f-Fz7iiR_P_NIhKeXh6-PuPyn7zKyLsLqNOWLe7Sl9iPizgzPb9QffQIEuEqIrK_OuZirBaCVJhwt0yRKUhhUI_Qd3VkjvPUwTg7MAPZwQiljZEQvmWHt4QJ4Y1IBcQGXdg9Lqk/s1600/48638.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEeWk7f-Fz7iiR_P_NIhKeXh6-PuPyn7zKyLsLqNOWLe7Sl9iPizgzPb9QffQIEuEqIrK_OuZirBaCVJhwt0yRKUhhUI_Qd3VkjvPUwTg7MAPZwQiljZEQvmWHt4QJ4Y1IBcQGXdg9Lqk/s320/48638.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550317979651451714" /></a><br />In the Italian film I am Love (Io Sono l’amore), Tilda Swinton plays Emma Recchi, a wife in a powerful Italian textile manufacturing family. The family can be considered a Milanese dynasty, with wealth that dates back multiple generations. Raf Simmons of Jil Sander designed the costumes and pieces from Fendi were also used.<br /><br />The film takes place in 2001 and in order to achieve Recchi’s look, Simmons’ had to keep the costumes elegant and refined. In one scene, Swinton’s character runs errands wearing a streamlined grey knee length coat, cream blouse, grey pearls, and nude sunglasses. Her understated yet perfectly tailored clothes combined with her posture and Birkin bag indicate her social status. Moreover, Emma Recchi does not come from a wealthy family, but rather married into one. Therefore, she must try even harder to exemplify the look of a Milanese aristocrat.

Most of the film takes place in a tangent universe, where Donnie is guided by Frank and others, and shown what will happen if he survives the jet engine. </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Does Donnie choose to die? To me, this is hard to answer. At one point, Donnie asks his physics teacher about free will versus following the 'path of god.' We can actually see this 'path of god' for some people when their movements are predicted by some computer graphics. On a larger scale, Donnie has been marked for death as his path, and it is debatable as to how much choice he really ever had. I think to say he accepts it after losing Gretchen and killing Frank is the most accurate perspective. </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Another theme of the film is dying alone. Grandma Death says that every living creature dies alone. In a way, Gretchen, Frank, and Donnie all do die alone. Donnie thinks about this doom in questioning the existence of god. He is often a lonely guy; the idea seems unfair. I think this theme is really about having to accept our own deaths. We need to see that the destruction of ourselves is just another form of creation -- something Donnie himself points out (in his own way) in analyzing Graham Greene's story in school. </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Character Overview</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYIyCY5CMFrojdj7X3v1Ts29Ta0sQCoVprvGGvi0y7vUCRo4hMM6j02ao_ptgFGvsRR9xtV2WhSNu-ukDqCuCVu_izJ_1JOZaqPxdRv3U4EBkn7qUs2-C6VALAKy2nRF-T9zmpAVrGKHxZ/s1600/jake_gyllenhaal_richard_kelly_donnie_darko_001.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYIyCY5CMFrojdj7X3v1Ts29Ta0sQCoVprvGGvi0y7vUCRo4hMM6j02ao_ptgFGvsRR9xtV2WhSNu-ukDqCuCVu_izJ_1JOZaqPxdRv3U4EBkn7qUs2-C6VALAKy2nRF-T9zmpAVrGKHxZ/s400/jake_gyllenhaal_richard_kelly_donnie_darko_001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549984134580933218" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The protagonist in the film is as the title, </span></span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Donnie Darko;</span></span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> he plays a schizophrenic and is played by </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Jake Gyllenhall </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">and the movie revolves around him and his delusions’ created by his situation.

We see Donnie dressed in pale colors and specially variance of blue; that is contrary to his mental state. The colors reflect to the audience a complete opposite emotion that is of calmness whereas Donnie is always in a volatile emotional state. The primary sets of colors are coherent to the secondary set of colors; we see that Donnie’s costumes are exactly the same color as the set in most of the movie.

The witch’s outfit carries a lot of symbolism, in which the materials and fabrics were sourced from all over the world to create the effect it had. The first layer of the dress is a velvet dyed, the second layer is felted wool and silk, it is the sheen of the silk that created these icy lines and then the final layer is lace with metallic thread and organza pieces that are sewn and burnt into the fabric. The bottom of the dress is made from a substance that reminded her of this waterfall they saw in New Zealand which projects connotations of the witch being made from water or ice. Then they drew the ice crackle from a small scale to a larger scale at the hem of the dress to create this illusion of height, that the witch was a giant. Other symbolic aspects of her outfit were her ice crown that melts throughout the film and her hair looking like roots from the ground. Overall all these aspects of her costume was what created this organic giant ice queen witch like character.</span></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-51739633761975876082010-12-09T09:40:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.433-08:002000's<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEMHiwXM-Y-BOTW6sLBcOFMn_dTjyYhoAV3A26ux4Srg9LS9dc11toGt6aTSW7lV4cneeELZ410W4D9DPJMThXh-2OzkIob5aXARcJ61uEt017NhFhEJv5J7jXJI19MdDoobZAz09QDVKw/s1600/1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEMHiwXM-Y-BOTW6sLBcOFMn_dTjyYhoAV3A26ux4Srg9LS9dc11toGt6aTSW7lV4cneeELZ410W4D9DPJMThXh-2OzkIob5aXARcJ61uEt017NhFhEJv5J7jXJI19MdDoobZAz09QDVKw/s400/1.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548480797971113890" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">In </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The Royal Tenebaums</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> (2001), fashion plays a important role in characterization.

At the beginning of the essay he puts an emphasis of the difference between dressing contemporary and period film, and the difficulty and hard work put into both. He goes onto quote Betsy Heimann on costume in film today “The problem with contemporary film is that everyone has an opinion, and believes that their vision of the 1970’s or last year is the vision...in a period movie, everybody pretty much accepts that your right”.Throughout the article Calhoun regularly quotes Betsy Heimann and Jeffrey Kurkland and their different opinions on the subject of costume design. He goes onto quote Kurkland for a substantial part of the article on the subject of the costume in the film “Erin Brockovich”. He talks about he film being an interesting case for contemporary film as he had something real to research, real looks she once wore from pictures the real Erin Brockovich had to show him. But that resulted in 52 changes in clothing throughout the film and having 75% of all the costumes made, it was important for him to “achieve a unity in her look”. Calhoun goes onto focus on Mona May, a German costume designer who had previously had a fashion based career. She has does the costumes for many fashion esque-films such as “never been kissed”, “Romy and Michele's high school reunion” and clueless and says she pulls inspiration from European trends as they are often 6 month ahead of the states, she emphasis the fact that with films like these, you have to be innovative and fresh with your designs as it is usually a depiction of real life at the time, but then of course it will take a year for the film to come out. Calhoun goes onto to focus where different costumes designers buy costumes or where they have them made, this can include anywhere from studio wardrobe departments to resale shops, to K mart, it is all depended on the film. At the end of the article he discusses costume design in relation to the fashion industry. He quotes Kurland “fashion, you design for people; costume you design characters”, whereas Mona may states a different opinion that the “conjunction of fashion and costume design is an exciting thing.”</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhClnVluodvv0B6CpxJSOfnH44Zbc9cwYf0kbNlrJmkB0oCD5fVLtsskXuk578VgQJKaZ-VSOaUYRWntAZ6gaUSdlilTcoHQSt4UShONBbKhm1sGpjtM8WRl1UleuDN4mlv6OGtzuSF_dc_/s320/11114750.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548699306303933602" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px; " /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></b></div></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">Interview Inglorious Basterds: Costume Lowdown by Anna Sheppard </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">(Published 29</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">th</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"> September 2009)</span></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This is an interview with Anna B Sheppard who is a polish costume designer.

The interview is really a focus on some of the characters main costumes that appear throughout the film, where they were either made, sourced or how she was inspired to design them.

Landis also discusses film undergoing a digital revolution with films such as Shrek being made. But she does go onto say that this technology can be a good and bad thing for costume designers. Digitally computerized models meant no need for these huge budgets for clothing, as well as animated productions and video games needing costume designers as well. However she does focus on the expanding role of the costume designer in unexpected ways with the new technology of the green screen sometimes being a problem for costume design. Landis discusses that costume designers have done what they needed to do, over the last few decades in films to get the job done encountering problems with a smaller budget, time and various other factors so with this new technology they will do the same to adapt and move with the various challenges and opportunities. Landis praises the role of a costume designer as “unique” and how they play a predominant role in helping the director to tell a story. The images at the end of the text go onto to show us a decade of great costume ranging from period costume such as “Troy” to contemporary costumes such as “Legally Blonde”</span></p><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha-2zfsWssi_bTdW8TVzGgDHGDIffHTPKtrfm_dISBWq9iezUcUdH1TgzLxRZS9qB4lJgiJ4Dt7bNg0aSVHD9-E2N6sDfbGHMfx9cW3IuQODPQuVn3FcIFtWnWX5WVUnDkkW_2ISEvIq_e/s320/brad-pitt-in-troy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548702158955433330" /><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3y17Om-hOeVFym4v60_d5-8g5mceZSmAiys69Dnc2QVKS9zyr-BznnrpcyalPl4IDosl32J_fCCzBt3wGUeRLTPtXtbELr4UTlkcUTO73XZUekuBc6X8QYVlSNnFz8CowWr5WSXFKOaIp/s320/iw39x4a5p71t3wx1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548702622469535586" /><br /><!--EndFragment--></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><u style="text-underline:words"></u></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-22590436351753808292010-12-08T09:28:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.490-08:00The Fifth Element (Clara Strehle)<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0tWxfy4rNFvXoRoQqbvf6yeZ54akopOdI4r0F9XyuKqDz9uGQvu7slX8ZpEWLR2DOV4OdEX4Mm0WM1BsRHKmg2n8KqCrzlkdXkQJHqrCnJoCdhHIOaI7iPj2nuaQ584-mYBxepFpZyWND/s1600/Original.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0tWxfy4rNFvXoRoQqbvf6yeZ54akopOdI4r0F9XyuKqDz9uGQvu7slX8ZpEWLR2DOV4OdEX4Mm0WM1BsRHKmg2n8KqCrzlkdXkQJHqrCnJoCdhHIOaI7iPj2nuaQ584-mYBxepFpZyWND/s320/Original.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548366683462105586" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br />Instead of taking any costume designer Besson chose to work with a high end, french fashion designer: “I wanted the best and that is Jean - Paul Gaultier.“</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br />Gaultier is known to be the Enfant Terrible dela ModeI because of his extremely provocative and experimental style; for example he created a man skirt in 1985 and is the designer behind Madonna‘s famous cone bra. Before The Fifth Element his designs were seen in movies such as Kika and The City of Lost Children. For Besson however he let his imagination run wild more than ever, in a way it is impossible in haute couture, even for him. Gaultier created a future look defined by unusual materials and looks inspired by the past: “I spoke with Luc about what is futuristic, and we decided that there could be elements of today... Everything is possible“3. His signature style however is still very evident in the crinoline hoops worn on the outer side of clothes, very feminine male costumes, or ripped dinner shirts.<br /><br />The two protagonists of the movie, Korben, played by Bruce Willis, and Leeloo, played by Mila Jovovich, wear some of the most provocative and typical clothes of Gaultier‘s. Their outfits and color palettes are put in strong relation: she wears white and orange, he wears orange and black. The ribbed, backless, orange tank of his, accentuating the manly arms and body, is in resemblance to Leeloo‘s orange dreadlocks. In the second half of the movie Gaultier put him into a tuxedo in order to blend in with the other guests of the opera on his undercover mission. As he looses his cover and the fight grows bigger, his shirt gets more and more ripped apart, underlining more and more Dallas‘s heroic - ness. On the other hand, Leeloo‘s white ‘dress‘ is made out of the white cloth that restrained her to the incubator table she was created on in the lab of the scientists. They simply tie around her as she breaks free. In the second half, when the focus of Leeloo lies more in fighting, than in escaping, her outfit contains heavy black boots, golden pants, orange plastic straps and a cropped white ribbed shirt giving her firmity and robustness for the fight; qouting Gaultier: “The costume has to go well with what she has to do. She has to be very active.“4<br /><br /></span></span> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja7hRDO6d1Cbj7VfpSc2EA3eKFSYVynBW6i2TUTai24rOl9lEX2mP9h7mn97BzC_O6Dptv1YMvv8CUgjKS_GtBeStavhatkNr4XfdpQgf9-UtsmCew1BALeBMgLr6kcH0seIHuBpjKpTTL/s1600/Ohne+Titel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 174px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja7hRDO6d1Cbj7VfpSc2EA3eKFSYVynBW6i2TUTai24rOl9lEX2mP9h7mn97BzC_O6Dptv1YMvv8CUgjKS_GtBeStavhatkNr4XfdpQgf9-UtsmCew1BALeBMgLr6kcH0seIHuBpjKpTTL/s320/Ohne+Titel.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548366849900378082" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br />The priest Vito Cornelius, played by Ian Holm, is constantly dressed in earth tones.

The official and public world is dark, metallic, cold, and negative; seen in, for instance, the city of New York, or the hallway in front of Korben‘s apartment. The colors are ranging from an ice blue to black. There is no sensation of positivity or hope in this world. Everything is controlled and no real freedom is given. On the contrary, homes and Fhloster Paradise is dominated by yellows, golds, browns, and reds. Life is given a more positive feeling. For example Korben‘s one bedroom apartment is entirely colored in a yellowish tone, in addition filled with personal belongings and memories such as pictures; whereas the evil Jean Baptiste Emanuel Zork has nothing personal in his home. Although Zorg‘s home is yellowish in color as well, it is filled with robots, weapons, and other creations underlining the loneliness and cold hearted souls of evil.<br /><br />The last, and visually most interesting main character is the villain of the story Jean Baptiste Emanuel Zork, played by Gary Oldman. Zorg pretends to be an art dealer, when in real he builds and sells arms, and above all and most importantly though, is highly interested in getting a hold of the four element stones. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br />Luc Besson identified Zorg‘s style as “dandy, nouveau riche, Hitler“5 and when talking about his character Gary Oldman simply explains Zorg as a “Galactic Trailor Trash“ and “Bugs Bunny meets Ross Parole“6. Generally, Zorg comes about as a comic villain with a twist. His outfits are made out of shiny rubber, he has a metal leg, and a plastic piece on his head which is only explained by the words: “...it‘s just the strange, wacky world of Jean Paul Gaultier“7.<br />Zorg‘s first outfit, which he wears when out on business, is a futurized look of a business man involved in shady, underground business. This look appears when he is selling guns to the aliens and when coming to collect the stones from Fhloster Paradise. The costume is inspired by the SS uniform back from the Hitler days. He wears a dark blue, pinstrip suit made out of rubber. The pants are stuck into high boots and the shirt has high collar, both very typical in SS uniforms. Matching to the suit Zorg has a coat with a red inside. Here Gaultier‘s sense for detail becomes extremly obvious: The red inside is only seen twice in the movie, both times right before an explosion initiated by Zorg. The red color links first to the red button on the arms, and second to the time display of the bomb placed on Fhloster Paradise.<br />Through the dark and cold color palette Zorg blends in with the gloomy and evil atmosphere of the moment and space it is situated in. Both aspects contribute to underlining his character and the mischief he is about. However, at the same time, with his strange head piece and the funny accent from Arizona, he becomes this comic villain which Besson planned him to be.<br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9zCl7yxFrbOGswIvu9Lca5JG2Eo2qJ5xb36WXph38QOblKR46lq1NF7Rn4m5Baw4t7Uhak8VTxXQxlrcja6mB_cSvj7454nw-Mb2Qt887hhK4Yl_hXI6eX4bHH55KIp5XEKwtmXYYS3k/s1600/Ohne+Titel2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 178px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9zCl7yxFrbOGswIvu9Lca5JG2Eo2qJ5xb36WXph38QOblKR46lq1NF7Rn4m5Baw4t7Uhak8VTxXQxlrcja6mB_cSvj7454nw-Mb2Qt887hhK4Yl_hXI6eX4bHH55KIp5XEKwtmXYYS3k/s320/Ohne+Titel2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548367395321675410" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br />Zorg‘s second outfit is seen when he is in his home. It consists of the same boots and pants as before, but instead of a pinstriped dark vest, he wears a rainbow colored vest also with a high color. When wearing this outfit he is in his personal space and is more vulnerable than when out on business. this can be seen, for instance, when the evil Mr Shadow calls and punishes him for not retrieving the stones. The color palette is much warmer than the one from outfit one, but again it stands in relation to its surroundings. However, in comparison to Korben‘s or the priest‘s apartment, everything here, just like the owner himself, is cold and has nothing positive to it. Zorg surrounds himself by weapons and robots mirroring his loneliness. When Vito Cornelius is brought to his office this especially becomes visible as he swallows a cherry and has noone to save his life.<br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIftlASZvwnPYtd442V5mvIEx2LTk8Z5JOn4BzpzbddvgCyNKksuD75O1VzuV7uZPyjGNWBW4N7Tjr094Teo1NYr1Bym825vDJ7WSbzeIwlWZXeiDQoIPnXTWVSIZ700O6vtheYvmjjPzu/s1600/Unbenannt+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIftlASZvwnPYtd442V5mvIEx2LTk8Z5JOn4BzpzbddvgCyNKksuD75O1VzuV7uZPyjGNWBW4N7Tjr094Teo1NYr1Bym825vDJ7WSbzeIwlWZXeiDQoIPnXTWVSIZ700O6vtheYvmjjPzu/s320/Unbenannt+2.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548367641328893634" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br />Concluding, Zorg‘s rubberized, shiny outfits give him a notion of distance to humanity. His character has nothing personal to him since all he surrounds himself by are aliens, robots, or weapons. Nevertheless, this is also what makes Zorg funny and look like a comic villan. Gaultier‘s work had great participation at succeeding at this task through his own strangeness, off - ness, and provocativeness.<br /><br />Apart from the great detail payed to each single one of the main characters, Gaultier did not miss out on losing focus when it came to small roles. For example, all of the majors, sailors, captains, and such, are dressed in a very classical way in which we see them today as well. They also add to the Gaultier style with the trademark rings on the sleeves and much gold. More attention to detail can be seen in the radio host‘s all lepard outfit or black jump suit with red roses decolletage, Zorg‘s funky all in blue receptionist, the chanel make up box version year 2262, the stewardess (inspiration taken from the Air France staff ), even the McDonalds service. Gaultier did not leave out a thing and as Luc Besson said he checked every single outfit himself before letting it appear on set.<br /><br />The Fifth Element is full of interesting and unusual materials defining a futuristic look inspired by today and humanity‘s past. Gaultier matched moods, setting, characters relation, and activities perfectly with their costumes and created, in my opinion, one of the visually most strongest movies.</span></span></div><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-33623442330208924652010-12-05T15:08:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.532-08:001980's Teen Films & the 1990's<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcgPW2k_qSR3sXo8-FstSPhkVa7f0yVxru4jXtjn7Tx80l8R7wdLNX_amCfjNjCFMr3XAzrqBnIRhzjvkDKYKO7E5R6cBsm1OtYCIvz40DmnmJnSpyn5OqVXidyIEjjtPyWChsac0YFnVY/s1600/1.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547349847145901858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcgPW2k_qSR3sXo8-FstSPhkVa7f0yVxru4jXtjn7Tx80l8R7wdLNX_amCfjNjCFMr3XAzrqBnIRhzjvkDKYKO7E5R6cBsm1OtYCIvz40DmnmJnSpyn5OqVXidyIEjjtPyWChsac0YFnVY/s400/1.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 269px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Fast Times at Ridgemont High</b> (1982) is a teen classic that showcased California teens in school and at their after school jobs.

At that time, the Director/Writer, Richard Linklater was 33 years old with a fresh memory of his own teenage. The movie was based around a group of teenagers, which ‘the viewer could relate to, but in the end the movie was about nothing’ wrote the Vocabularist from the Movie Cynics.<br /><br />Linklater was born in Texas and so, based the setting of the film in the state Texas itself and chose the city of Austin. The actor’s casted by the authorities for teenagers of ‘Lee High School’ are supposed to be one of the best. LinkLater made sure to be completely involved in all the operations of the film, his perspective was upmost that I will mention in later too. When he thought of executing this project he had only made three films, one being ‘Slacker’ that received appreciation at a lot of Film Festivals and Art Houses. Linlater jumped from a movie with a budget of $ 23,000 to Dazed and Confused, a film with a budget crossing 6.9 Million Dollars. The producer duo and Richard went through a exhaustive search to find out their wanted cast. Each and every character were practically the same in real life as the characters, they all went on to become successful; the primary were Jason London and Wiley Wiggins. The article gives out extensive information about the casting process that eventually proves to be highly significant as seen in the movie. The movie’s budget provided and monitored by The Universal Studios also ended up in many controversies and problematic situation for Richard, for example when the Studio demanded for the film to be in the vicinity of the PG-13 Ratings, the director reacted with daze to this demand that is pretty practical of him; making a teenage movie with drugs, violence and the usual ambiguous teenage behavior could not be below R Ratings. The title track also created abrupt situations between the studio and the production team. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNIOOzMsXp7VM8cfkVyM22pcXUkwZN7R0rnmWaH4PswYybgRR6zY0tEcXm38sexEQ_Jw7gsEPgcFZo9JsgqOqbClUZk7iXcUD71H9QgEri3uwCg5LpTq4yVIO7C80TqN-VUptUlyKGyzJ/s1600/music%252Bfrom%252Bdazed%252Band%252Bconfused.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547298112229410946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNIOOzMsXp7VM8cfkVyM22pcXUkwZN7R0rnmWaH4PswYybgRR6zY0tEcXm38sexEQ_Jw7gsEPgcFZo9JsgqOqbClUZk7iXcUD71H9QgEri3uwCg5LpTq4yVIO7C80TqN-VUptUlyKGyzJ/s320/music%252Bfrom%252Bdazed%252Band%252Bconfused.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 266px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br />The Art Direction and Costumes were also kept to the typical American 70’s feel, Linklater played a major role in executing such decision. The character Randall ‘Pink’ Floyd was such a sensation that its being a template for youngsters in today’s age. With this movie Richard Linlater entered in new genre that was a forte of the celebrated Teen movie Director ‘ John Hughes.’ The respective article is filled with the opinion section, with a varied range of them. The general consent was that the movie was a success, but the perception of people varied on the motto of the script. Although the movie from the perspective of how teenagers are, it was remarkable and to conclude, I would agree with Brendan Babish from DVD Verdict who wrote “Dazed and Confused gets nearly everything right… After a little league baseball game the teams are forced to line up, slap the other teams hand, and mutter, ‘Good Game’ (Remember that); on the way to the parking lot everyone yells’ ‘Shotgun!’ At the same time; at night everyone drives around town looking for fun, and nothing much happens… Linklater said with Dazed and Confused he was looking to make the American Graffiti of the ‘70’s’. I think in about ten years another young director making a period teen comedy is going to say he wants to make the Dazed and Confused for the ‘90’s’.”<br /><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-39446957196144225452010-12-05T07:51:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.591-08:00Molly Ringwald Interviews John Hughes<h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://mollyringwaldinterviewjohnhughes.blogspot.com/2010/12/molly-ringwald-interview-john-hughes.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Molly Ringwald Interviews John Hughes</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> </span></span></h3> <div class="post-header"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi14aAyAhu6nYR4hL_tvJl24j5ycUFpE559D157QZDPI306wElncT7XTsopeYYnpVS5ka_gBfHOCJZW121nXjcrikmskYENfaed14FaL9mMMqI5qDxcrbAm4uJmuPPbOupkRrQCkIL-vwM/s1600/220px-JohnHughes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi14aAyAhu6nYR4hL_tvJl24j5ycUFpE559D157QZDPI306wElncT7XTsopeYYnpVS5ka_gBfHOCJZW121nXjcrikmskYENfaed14FaL9mMMqI5qDxcrbAm4uJmuPPbOupkRrQCkIL-vwM/s1600/220px-JohnHughes.jpg" border="0" /></span></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span><div class="post-body entry-content"><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">To start with a meticulous reading of this interview published in </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Spring 1986</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> in the </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">, I found </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">John Hughes </span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">a person full of silent humor. The intimate interview with </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Molly Ringwald</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> was full of the warmth shared by the artist duo; there stack of movies together like </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Sixteen Candles, The breakfast Club</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> and the High Light; </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Pretty in Pink,</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> evidently disclose the relationship shared by them. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Taking Hughes’s successful career into context; his childhood was weirdly coordinated to his success. He mentions that his early days were mostly uncertain of a fixed home and he spent the most of it surrounded by girls and old people, leading his childhood with a lot of time to think to himself consequently broadening his imagination. He was inspired by great artists, comparatively at a small age; he mentions, “ then The </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Beatles </span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">came along,” indicates the importance of art in his life; other maestro’s like Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Picasso were significant figures in his future ambitions. Hughes’s primary idea about writing was always aimed to fields where he was best and was passionate about, which is very clear after learning that he made movies about Teens. His perspective about teenager’s and their way of living is also open minded and not restricted to the others his age, which is an important learning for all in present life too. Another contradicting aspect I learnt about him was his lack of interest in Teamwork in school days, whereas later he chose his career to be one of the best examples of Teamwork, Filmmaking. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The interview being in an informal biographical format shares with the reader a lot of humor and a personal touch about his point of views on filmmaking. His humble approach to his work is impressive and is a sign of a true artist. His way of setting all his movies in the suburbs of Chicago and then mentioning his dislike towards the Hollywood Spotlight attracts the audience to the feel the reality and sense of actuality in his films. It is not hard to figure out that the person loves what he does but hesitates to experiment, he says,” I tend to work with the same people; I really befriend them,” that gives us a clue that he does not want to work with different people and repeats the past collaborations that I personally think could sometimes be a restriction to an Artist. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Keeping in mind this informal interview, the end is perfect. The unscripted format of the interview allows both the interviewer and Hughes to shoot questions at each other, They both end with an answer; Molly ends by her future plan to complete college and John Hughes’s end at his never-ending list of things he is dying to do; concluding to an indecisive position of the author. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-86768794287736778462010-12-01T02:59:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.603-08:00Hairspray (1988), by Giada Fried<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4l_ll_0lSPheO3oYYh-n4V1GHfTbeDP5U_oNqpPGNvULAeA74HwNf-EG5L0-_8UkeljJJbf6E1qhouEv3XYZ28TtnQNeBKmJ4Mw3xHe6VKZraJTaVJY-e4dkQzNvqndJ1G2TY63Kcz73s/s1600/3bbfd2a3c64e44135d3d44742afecb12.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4l_ll_0lSPheO3oYYh-n4V1GHfTbeDP5U_oNqpPGNvULAeA74HwNf-EG5L0-_8UkeljJJbf6E1qhouEv3XYZ28TtnQNeBKmJ4Mw3xHe6VKZraJTaVJY-e4dkQzNvqndJ1G2TY63Kcz73s/s320/3bbfd2a3c64e44135d3d44742afecb12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545680321707688370" border="0" /></a><br /></div><style>@font-face { font-family: "Times New Roman"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }table.MsoNormalTable { font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }</style> <p class="MsoNormal"><style>@font-face { font-family: "Times New Roman"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }table.MsoNormalTable { font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }</style> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hairspray is the campy-but-classic work of John Waters at his utmost mainstream. The 1988 film is actually set in 1962 and was partly inspired by real events. Its the perfect example of Waters and Van Smith (the costume designer in all of Waters’ films) “action against good taste.” Together, Waters and Smith gave “bad taste” a good name with ease and humor. This collaboration lasted three decades and is what really made the strength of many characters and films. Hence Smith is considered one of the Dreamlanders, an ensemble of regular cast and crewmembers. An early exponent of the trash aesthetic, Mr. Smith was widely credited with having created the public face — once seen, not soon forgotten — of Divine, a look he said that was like Jayne Mansfield meets Clarabell the Clown.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8XHCwZjKao9yGX2383k6tWYBiYmnnf6SQsyJtnzUU2p5XMP5niazpFTwXv9-uG1tCLSnOE_k9WHWudJ-n2N95NVWFEwTILBeIdUW3BIroKmg0P56-Wt8fJ3s_xaen6f8yUXA578gMfVAI/s1600/Picture+1.png"><br /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8XHCwZjKao9yGX2383k6tWYBiYmnnf6SQsyJtnzUU2p5XMP5niazpFTwXv9-uG1tCLSnOE_k9WHWudJ-n2N95NVWFEwTILBeIdUW3BIroKmg0P56-Wt8fJ3s_xaen6f8yUXA578gMfVAI/s1600/Picture+1.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8XHCwZjKao9yGX2383k6tWYBiYmnnf6SQsyJtnzUU2p5XMP5niazpFTwXv9-uG1tCLSnOE_k9WHWudJ-n2N95NVWFEwTILBeIdUW3BIroKmg0P56-Wt8fJ3s_xaen6f8yUXA578gMfVAI/s320/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545676991117237202" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The movie’s characters play a strong role in portraying the controversial issues of the early 1960’s.<span style=""> </span>Overweight and lower class Tracy Turnblad (Riki Lake) and overly loving and cross-dressed mother Edna (Divine) are compared to rich, thin, and beautiful Amber Von Tussle and her mother Velma (Debbie Harry). Throughout the movie, there is much irony to be found and<span style=""> </span>despite the whole emphasis on huge hair and doo-wop music, there is actually a deeper story that has substance.<span style=""> </span>Regardless of one’s superficial desire to like the beautiful but despicable Amber, the viewer is automatically drawn to support and sympathize with the clumsy and un-attractive - yet up beat and bouncy Tracy. She dances her way through the film, stealing Amber’s boyfriend, her fame and her position as favorite dancer on the Corny Collins Show. During her transformation she also uses her notoriety to champion the cause of racial integration within Baltimore and the Corny Collins.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The film’s overall color palette is made up of pastels and soft-hued tones typical of the time. Every main character is distinguished in the crowd by the use of lighter Colors and stronger patterns than the rest of the group. Not much detail was put into the individual characters colors though, because more detail was put into differentiating the main cast. Mainly the palette is used to reveal how the different levels of status dressed at the time. For example, the lower class Turnblads’ driving colors are pinks, light blues and bright yellows, while the more “refined” and upper class Von Tussles colors are burgundies, deep blues, dark greens and burnt orange/yellows. For Tracy the color palette doesn’t really evolve along with her character, although the clothing does become slightly more tailored and perhaps more expensive as she gains popularity within the Show. The same principle can be applied to Edna: as her daughter reaches fame her social status escalates as well – she goes from barging around the house in loud printed house-gowns and pin curls to real dresses and beehives.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13iOg-lMdDd9O2G7kBoo1DSD87NAKBR0hJArQCe0Jg3tnd3lAt9BNHdQCsDGoseuHIR7zd8-tw0MgwVI2nVoZq79f1GZX8vPOuIWZYmsEJbpBDAZ3b0Ow-qQNH60amXFi5U_WyhTSJ4RG/s1600/Picture+9.png"><br /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioD9tk_4gABewV_TshMapmMIyksLodxuOGWIFuKHHraUsd6JEzWVP-YCGTyLigxn-u4Sz_rNRAkrUXroRlseRs_FbZVptR7FQo2ErlFRuOEFm_zqD-xGsglDQHWv8kNS01f2-PS6G1ndW8/s1600/tumblr_kw00b7cu6q1qanfm0o1_500.png"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioD9tk_4gABewV_TshMapmMIyksLodxuOGWIFuKHHraUsd6JEzWVP-YCGTyLigxn-u4Sz_rNRAkrUXroRlseRs_FbZVptR7FQo2ErlFRuOEFm_zqD-xGsglDQHWv8kNS01f2-PS6G1ndW8/s320/tumblr_kw00b7cu6q1qanfm0o1_500.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545678799565841522" border="0" /> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxZol-aluPUMbW9XmiljDdMpzw2OFsE6aEGxeAK51XktNWg5K8gqB44cZoxDDiJWxXbaOmH_cf4ydCX4XiMfMkuaLuuP1aQ7xYQEA1OED3hZkES73Vp13wCQ4xb_Z7RlUJqb5X73ce69XB/s1600/Picture+10.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 85px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxZol-aluPUMbW9XmiljDdMpzw2OFsE6aEGxeAK51XktNWg5K8gqB44cZoxDDiJWxXbaOmH_cf4ydCX4XiMfMkuaLuuP1aQ7xYQEA1OED3hZkES73Vp13wCQ4xb_Z7RlUJqb5X73ce69XB/s320/Picture+10.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545684976236861058" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioD9tk_4gABewV_TshMapmMIyksLodxuOGWIFuKHHraUsd6JEzWVP-YCGTyLigxn-u4Sz_rNRAkrUXroRlseRs_FbZVptR7FQo2ErlFRuOEFm_zqD-xGsglDQHWv8kNS01f2-PS6G1ndW8/s1600/tumblr_kw00b7cu6q1qanfm0o1_500.png"> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd1Uiwr_DTUjunxU705LjjMverKcwHwQFs-pttv2q3QoZATqyepIrlw8RKEj0GsoTqtv9lOLM3mFRFKjpL5bkXCDupCUnrgIzH9WmTNnRKlyeDo2HYT0RebUFRvxgSH_x8pkdSrU_o058P/s1600/Picture+9.png"><br /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd1Uiwr_DTUjunxU705LjjMverKcwHwQFs-pttv2q3QoZATqyepIrlw8RKEj0GsoTqtv9lOLM3mFRFKjpL5bkXCDupCUnrgIzH9WmTNnRKlyeDo2HYT0RebUFRvxgSH_x8pkdSrU_o058P/s1600/Picture+9.png"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 173px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd1Uiwr_DTUjunxU705LjjMverKcwHwQFs-pttv2q3QoZATqyepIrlw8RKEj0GsoTqtv9lOLM3mFRFKjpL5bkXCDupCUnrgIzH9WmTNnRKlyeDo2HYT0RebUFRvxgSH_x8pkdSrU_o058P/s320/Picture+9.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545679120246861346" border="0" /> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDoZu7odaENZwpQOAIxs2eWU4pewbbIjeJaUHYGW0fyOcjJY-fKx5BLdmWjKcRFsLMqCyZpIkSsiZgGsOUGWxoQO5Ldh-ZD54SV-aq_Qd4izFoziGjcOlQdLn1V6C-QUII5yRZPAZuPkdu/s1600/Picture+12.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 79px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDoZu7odaENZwpQOAIxs2eWU4pewbbIjeJaUHYGW0fyOcjJY-fKx5BLdmWjKcRFsLMqCyZpIkSsiZgGsOUGWxoQO5Ldh-ZD54SV-aq_Qd4izFoziGjcOlQdLn1V6C-QUII5yRZPAZuPkdu/s320/Picture+12.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545685235743957346" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Hairspray is a wonderfully light-hearted film, which nonetheless is able to carry a strong social commentary, not only about racism but also about the prejudice towards overweight teenagers, as it was highly improbable even at the time to cast a chubby girl for a part as a lead dancer on a popular teen-age show. The way in which Waters delivers this information is very clever – the viewer, who is busy enjoying the up-beat story wont spend time concentrating on what it’s trying to communicate, for it will be transmitted subliminally. Although the film’s social commentaries are a central part of the plot I think it is more effective to appreciate Hairspray for its satirical comedy and wonderfully over-the-top characters.</p> <p></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-81008454348552474472010-11-27T08:46:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.645-08:00In Roger K.

Contrary to my expectations, the response arrived less than a day after, full of insights that increased my understanding of the movie.

After forming the Contemporary Wardrobe Collection he became primary consultant/supplier to Dick Clark's "Birth of the Beatles". In 1980, he designed Vivienne Westwood & Malcolm McLaren's landmark "Worlds End" shop on the Kings Rd in London. Burton styled and design promos for all the major artistes of the time,from Culture Club and The Kinks to Blondie and the Human League as well as video projects for ABC, The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, and David Bowie. At the time Burton worked very closely with Bowie, styling his public image. By the end of the 80s, he designed over 100 music promos.<br />Burton also worked with Wrangler, Panasonic,Volkswagen, Kellogg's, McDonald’s and Coca Cola on over 150 commercials and 50 music promos. He also designed Michael Haussman's debut feature "Blind Horizon". Contemporary Wardrobe Collection also became an invaluable source for hundreds of authentically clad popsters for the 2006 movie "Stoned", a biopic about the original 60s Rolling Stone.<br /><br />"Quadrophenia is one of those rare films that had no costume designer, only a production designer and wardrobe supervisor (a person who looks after the clothes), and as such there was no one person with an overall vision for the costume.<br />So it was decided that I - among others - as an ex Mod and vintage clothes wholesaler would be taken on as a consultant and main supplier, as I would be able to lend an authenticity to the film.<br />As so often happens in these circumstances, most of the aesthetic decisions were made by the director and production designer, who to some extent were dictated to by what original clothes the suppliers were able to find. Having said that, some of the suits had to be designed (not by me) and tailor-made for the fight scenes e.g. Sting, as they need to be duplicated.<br />We all had our say about who should wear what, and put forward ideas, but at the end of the day it was the director who had the last say.I remember suggesting that one of the leads (probably Sting) should wear a full length pink suede coat, but this idea was thrown out quite early on as not being believable! This decision seemed to me, to go against the whole aesthetic of mod, as there were far more extreme looks worn by kids at the time, but heigh ho...Ironically then someone decided that Sting should wear an awful 1970s grey leather coat... for what reason I will never know?"</span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></span></div></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi57ra0g91eznbYIPWpnDjLfiEAVExfLGWTRJ-6fmn_h16mCmSniFKBfTyFIwz_c762ypaBn5wwnJNbToxsql__wysGsn71XJSnEvsym5FwEIbAAYOaGvS9lbcBPw5jtUJWWpIAPqZ_OBtH/s400/quadro.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544690847256071986" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 302px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">"Due to the frantic nature of movie making and tight schedules, often key descisions are made by the wardrobe supervisor without consultation, e.g. the director will urgently call for 'any old coat' for an actor when shooting in the middle of the night just to keep them warm, and then because of continuity, the coat may end up being featured throughout the entire movie.<br />I remember during shooting of the fight scenes, because of lack of budget there not enough authentic clothes for all the hundreds of extras, so the wardrobe crew were instructed to throw a parka or a leather jacket on kids who didn't have anything else original on, believing they would just get lost or blend into the large crowd, not so...many of those kids with 70s haircuts and clothes were heavily featured."<br />"Maybe as an ex mod I was too close to the subject, after all it was an important part of my life and I thought this was a great opoutunity to get it right, but then of course its only a movie and as such it has to have mass appeal...therefore in my opinion there was a quite lot wrong with the look and feel of the film, but overall I think it captured the spirit of the movement and painted a pretty fair picture of mods as they had become so commercialized during those closing months"<br /><br />Thank you, Roger!</span></span></div><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-79049624042013056752010-11-24T15:35:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.658-08:001980's<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dW0Q7XbQeETz00zkx7HCu27wyyqYFZpZbbJ41Wn4E0q3Y2t5tQg5cSrMP1xycPFJCjtAKhMS_Ix50ifDGTK2D4l0FEJcQkipAgFF0PQNbDYy-020png4boSk70GprvKqoaFeFfEzakac/s1600/1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dW0Q7XbQeETz00zkx7HCu27wyyqYFZpZbbJ41Wn4E0q3Y2t5tQg5cSrMP1xycPFJCjtAKhMS_Ix50ifDGTK2D4l0FEJcQkipAgFF0PQNbDYy-020png4boSk70GprvKqoaFeFfEzakac/s400/1.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543274007664342338" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The 1980's began with the election of a film star as president.

He also states that while Reagan often talked to the people of America of their classical values and in simple terms, he was, in fact, leading a great cultural revolution that impacted all the of aspects of the modern life.

Some were introduced by Ronald Reagan, some were helped by him, and some were merely not prevented by him. However, many important aspects of the America we know today came with Ronald Reagan, whether we like it or not.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 27pt;"><span style=""><br /></span></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-5736569457358796282010-11-23T09:00:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.771-08:00"Quadrophenia" by Jovana Popovic<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjK5GAjd6ndQ5ehyphenhyphenc9AHBs_43ou1mfX_S7suHxHIW7Bg-zj-RX3G-6Cd7sOpZ2aqViGWvi_-k2IKK986MAqtbdnGiqNBQqfuqJXkAtuq1m9GS-6XfE5fGfsik-gKht6ptgwErYxw0Ko_lr/s1600/Blog2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 332px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjK5GAjd6ndQ5ehyphenhyphenc9AHBs_43ou1mfX_S7suHxHIW7Bg-zj-RX3G-6Cd7sOpZ2aqViGWvi_-k2IKK986MAqtbdnGiqNBQqfuqJXkAtuq1m9GS-6XfE5fGfsik-gKht6ptgwErYxw0Ko_lr/s400/Blog2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542800474131176274" /></a><br />In the 50s and 60s, Europe was still living the consequences of the World War II. England and France were one of the countries where the young generations felt most rebellious towards the values and behaviors of the older generations. The end results were various new styles in behaving and thinking, touching on every sphere of everyday life.<br />The Mod phenomenon, which emerged in England, is certainly among the most famous ones of the period. It was a result of a teenage rebellion against the Technicolor fairytales, which were fed through radio, TV and cinema, as well as repressed and class-obsessed status quo of the older generations. The Mod culture was overwhelmed with different fetishes. Every mod was supposed to have a Vespa scooter which was a fashion accessory. They customized them by painting and over accessorizing them with luggage racks, crash bars and dozens of mirrors. It was also practical as public transport did not run late into the night, so the scooter helped the Mod get around the city. Basic elements of Mod clothing were Fred Perry and Ben Sherman shirts, Sta-Prest trousers and Levi’s jeans, the fish-tail parka jacket which was worn to keep their suits sharp and themselves warm, slim-fitting black or grey suits with a lighter colored shirt underneath and a tight, half-Windsored dark tie .Girls wore homemade shift dresses and ankle socks or colored tights and straight skirts with short, boxy jackets.The make-up was light and the eyes black and heavy, false eyelashes were pasted on and lower-lid lashes painted. A coating of white lipstick was also welcomed but only for the bravest ones.<br />Mods’ opponents were Rockers. Their common wear were cheap black leather jackets and trousers, which allowed them to spend a lot of money on fuel for their big motorbikes.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTErQSlmc2NyBxP8eOyBciSD3ROrAdUobtbl3nY0LODia8dDun77lhrKILZCzD2vMBni7Sa8ZxWoGeSozOrKLL0LjSZvBVcHxUEDPfknfFdjyU0I1zUc_EP7Py2xUFSeZYkf46tXr6we3J/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-11-23+at+6.16.54+PM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 97px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTErQSlmc2NyBxP8eOyBciSD3ROrAdUobtbl3nY0LODia8dDun77lhrKILZCzD2vMBni7Sa8ZxWoGeSozOrKLL0LjSZvBVcHxUEDPfknfFdjyU0I1zUc_EP7Py2xUFSeZYkf46tXr6we3J/s400/Screen+shot+2010-11-23+at+6.16.54+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542801782781283410" /></a><br />The intriguing story of the lives of these teenagers served as an inspiration for the movie Quadrophenia. The movie was filmed in 1979, being a debut of a young film director Franc Roddam. It portrayed the clashes and fights that were constantly happening between the two groups.<br />The main character, Jimmy is a mod who truly believes in this way of life.He has a boring job, but everything makes sense once he hits house parties and hears the sound of The Who. However, eventually he painfully discovers the unfairness of life, when he is let down by his friends and turned back on by his family.Turning to the mod ideology for comfort he is completely disappointed once he realizes it has abandoned him as well.<br />The story was roughly based on 1973 The Who album and rock opera Quadrophenia. Incorporating four different melodies, made by four different members, the band created a schizophrenic character, Jimmy, split into four personalities: a tough guy, a romantic, a bloody lunatic, a beggar/a hypocrite.<br />This movie did not have a single costume designer. Joyce Stoneman (Brazil, The Boys in Blue, The Princess Bride) was named a wardrobe mistress. However, majority of clothes were supplied by two ex-mods, Roger Burton and Jack English.<br />Jack English is a professional photographer, who founded Contemporary Wardrobe along with Roger Burton, which lead to a commission for Quadrophenia. Roger Burton started out in the vintage clothes industry supplying thousands of choice garments to shops across Europe and as far as Japan. To this day he has worked on numerous projects including 150 commercials, 50 music promos and various movies.<br />The color palette consists of muted, solid colors, and a few patterns that can be seen on the dresses worn by girls. Dominant color is certainly army green, the color of the parka, which can be seen on most of the Mod characters. Majority of suits are black and grey, with a couple of brown ones, such as Jimmy’s tailor-made. As said before, Levi’s jeans were very popular, therefore the navy blue as well, but also washed blue jeans for the activities at home. The colors of shirts worn are mostly light -grays, white, beige. Among these muted colors, a couple of characters appear in brigther ones as well, such as red, which is worn by Jimmy’s best friend as well as burgundy, which is used to differentiate Jimmy in many of the scenes.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUr6Sr94e6Z9sgEyHXL89gW_r3kPQvGQAnuEqZD0UQWARZaTowHnE_RwSfgwTipe75EUsX8ij9bAcWC2U0RJYmoZuqPp8aRsvm9W8eTpk5UngkRXtGWTkv9XwoJA16ur64I4DxHVGhYhZL/s1600/Blog7.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUr6Sr94e6Z9sgEyHXL89gW_r3kPQvGQAnuEqZD0UQWARZaTowHnE_RwSfgwTipe75EUsX8ij9bAcWC2U0RJYmoZuqPp8aRsvm9W8eTpk5UngkRXtGWTkv9XwoJA16ur64I4DxHVGhYhZL/s400/Blog7.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542801562338859314" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikXcVtPpQLzBs-3l2q0SXuehEaNm7DcY5BNVMPhWsoBDF_jTVTYxKVryqGY-flm7OUSY30HwV8S3oLLpH6-iOwk3z0gHCHCMSNlSiQghDM5xzS_vh7DjMC_SUMeuU_cOWYP0WvvLcC4po-/s1600/Blog6.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikXcVtPpQLzBs-3l2q0SXuehEaNm7DcY5BNVMPhWsoBDF_jTVTYxKVryqGY-flm7OUSY30HwV8S3oLLpH6-iOwk3z0gHCHCMSNlSiQghDM5xzS_vh7DjMC_SUMeuU_cOWYP0WvvLcC4po-/s400/Blog6.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542801207092241650" /></a><br />Two very particular characters, that do not appear too much but both play significant roles, and are clearly differentiated by their aestetics are Kevin, played by Ray Winstone, and The Ace Face, played by Sting.<br />Kevin is an old friend of Jimmy’s and a Rocker. When Kevin is introduced for the first time, he is naked, and Jimmy is glad to see him. However, right after that, he discovers Kevin is a Rocker, after he has seen him wearing leather jacket and trousers and leaves refusing to talk to him.<br />The Ace Face is considered an ‘’ultimate mod’’. He is well differentiated by the clothes he is wearing, such as leather coat instead of green parka. The uniform he is wearing at the end of the movie shows that the Mod ideology is superficial, as one of the most loyal followers has abandoned it. Once again, clothing plays a major role when it comes to characterization.<br />Finally, the focus shifts to Jimmy, a true Mod culture representative in this move. Drunken by the ideology, he is not able to see beyond the surface. For Jimmy, everything has to do with the Mod culture, and everything is done for its cause. To illustrate this point, the director even uses a scene where Jimmy lets his wet Levi’s dry on himself, so that they can get the best possible shape and fit perfectly.<br />When Jimmy is firstly introduced, he is wearing a black blazer with gray stripes, grey shirt, and burgundy tie and trousers. His look is perfect and clean, which represents hia psychological state at that moment – very calm with nothing to worry about.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_aS51E_ni25Np-NWfDwprWjv8833LxR1FQsN8Us9QBq41PGCxa1_48KT6MZSw5tuSaLD-yR6jbXe_PNOnaCU314PCDpggcMSvGm43crgwUbCS4g9_OgB7ERf-kpeXGLcTuP2OncO2POtY/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-11-23+at+6.17.35+PM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 340px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_aS51E_ni25Np-NWfDwprWjv8833LxR1FQsN8Us9QBq41PGCxa1_48KT6MZSw5tuSaLD-yR6jbXe_PNOnaCU314PCDpggcMSvGm43crgwUbCS4g9_OgB7ERf-kpeXGLcTuP2OncO2POtY/s400/Screen+shot+2010-11-23+at+6.17.35+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542801953014718402" /></a><br />Furthermore, when preparing for the trip to Brighton, Jimmy is seen cruising around the town on his scooter. Jimmy is wearing a Mod parka, which immediately gives a hint who he is, as well as a Fred Perry shirt, and dark blue Levi’s jeans. His wear is casual, but is still within the Mod spirit.<br />The next big look is shown when Mods leave for Brighton. Jimmy wears a suit that he had tailor-made especially for this occasion. It is dark brown, and perfectly fits his figure. His tie is also brown, and the whole look is completed with the Mod parka. The Brighton trip is of a special importance, Jimmy feels special, and therefore the clothes are special as well.<br />The final look drastically differs from the previous ones. Jimmy is heading to Brighton, and has a burgundy jacket, white shirt and black tie and trousers. The eyeliner almost frames the madness coming out of his eyes. Everything is overwhelmed by the burgundy, which before was used only for minor details which were not that obvious. The contrast between him and the two typical English gentlemen with cylinders is stunning. It is almost a representation of the Mod culture within rest of the society.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGVo9VjK1p0wBwelkV8hFr2eajtMvMAqPo6pjTRp60TmWnPtBARnWilXNNALHXJUBlrFJFnBBFR-x-ydM063t4jNDoUhp2MCZx0GvEmOqwhsZgb8HoZjjNuTFIhy7x5YNhPIgg6BGw_Hv1/s1600/Blog3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 227px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGVo9VjK1p0wBwelkV8hFr2eajtMvMAqPo6pjTRp60TmWnPtBARnWilXNNALHXJUBlrFJFnBBFR-x-ydM063t4jNDoUhp2MCZx0GvEmOqwhsZgb8HoZjjNuTFIhy7x5YNhPIgg6BGw_Hv1/s400/Blog3.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542800770692814642" /></a><br />The movie and Mod culture have influenced fashion at large in many aspects. One of them is the trend of the parka, also called the ‘ultimate parka’. Also, many of the world brands continue to be inspired by the cuts of the Mod clothes, such as Chloe, Balenciaga and Dsquared.<br />It is true that fascination by certain phenomena from the past does not cease. Thanks to Quadrophenia, some of the authentic aesthetics are forever recorded and stored for those who will want to know what the Mod culture really was like.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627767902297734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804517741130912227.post-32601398258014495572010-11-18T03:15:00.000-08:002016-02-04T19:28:11.814-08:001970's by Deborah Nadoolman Landis, Dressed – A century of Hollywood Costume Design by Tanya Ziegler<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpuoFGwfuMYYjEvs99NVhsnW4r6TSA1MV1mk4wRg01qIkzNKN4SuswIQwduEcCqUmN31YRYKbraH8CSuIAegkhCfErwf0k244tcN7B87YG10cChDnzRrDoeX_i6lrZgrhXBymS_QrbY_0U/s1600/dressed-a-century-of-hollywood-costume-design-cover-x425.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 273px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpuoFGwfuMYYjEvs99NVhsnW4r6TSA1MV1mk4wRg01qIkzNKN4SuswIQwduEcCqUmN31YRYKbraH8CSuIAegkhCfErwf0k244tcN7B87YG10cChDnzRrDoeX_i6lrZgrhXBymS_QrbY_0U/s400/dressed-a-century-of-hollywood-costume-design-cover-x425.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540848934759279666" /></a><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">The 1970’s were a crisis period for Hollywood. Because of an economic devastation and an identity issue, many old directors were retiring and left the management to young graduates who had barely any experience. This traumatic transition destroyed the important hierarchy establish throughout the years. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">A new approach to filmmaking was explored. Young filmmakers were breaking down the traditional approach to rebuild them and explore the anti-hero’s perspective with a darker view including drugs, violence and sexual license. Movies about their own ethnic cultures and cinema vérité were also a new trend. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">In this unstable environment, the costume designers’ status was threatened and very little was written about it. A new approach to costume design was explored, using the actors and actresses’ personal wardrobes in order to provide a much more realistic aspect to the characters. This modern way of working gave a new dynamic to the costume designer’s job. “The costumes needed to disappear” blend in, to be unnoticed therefore the costume designers needed even more virtuosity to provide the characters with a strong, coherent and reached wardrobe.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Vreeland, goddess of fashion, celebrated with an exhibition called “Romantic and Glamourous Hollywood Design” the earlier eras of art of costume design at the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute. She wanted to remember what the Hollywood Glamour was and which was for her now dead. But what Vreeland had missed the point, which was that film actors were redirecting themselves to authentic characterization. Glamour was still there and will always be alive in Hollywood. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">This new generation of young filmmakers pulled the movie industry to its best.
