Our project is busy editing a special issue for Journal of Visual Culture on the core themes of our project - archaeologies of fashion film, post-cinema, early cinema and much in-between!
The new issue of the International Journal of Fashion Studies is out. Articles on online menswear communities; the Swedish fashion industry; clothing attachment; French Vogue; Dior & storytelling; femvertising; modern bodies in the Middle East; & more! https://t.co/WfbyeNlV2s
The podcast returns to the @sfsilentfilm to talk about the progression AND regression of color technologies, the fascinating “texts” of ethnographic cinema, and hidden masterpieces from both Hollywood and abroad! @vjmfilms returns! https://t.co/mUTsw3vIwC
A forgotten female industry: #women and early #colour#films. “...many #aesthetic theorists, including the 20th-century philosopher Theodor W. #Adorno, have argued that color is indeed inferior to form—a superficial topcoat, a feminine indulgence.” https://t.co/H4AJSjQFMR
Myriam Couturier, our utterly brilliant visiting researcher, is leaving us this week (oh no!?!). She leaves behind tons of amazing research into fashion in French film periodicals. Thanks @AMatthewsdavid for sending M. our way 🙏!
Fashion is the perfect means to a better understanding of almost anything. Trade agreements, history, war, globalization, craft, manufacturing, mechanization, capitalism, monopolies, class, gender...almost every topic can be examined through the lens of fashion.

Great to have a discussion @designdistrict@MiamiFilmFest abt fashion film in the context of advertising film. It was noted that a number of “avant-garde” films were in fact advertising films but art museums have tended to cut the advertisers’ names (subtly rewriting history).
