Course overview
Course description
They say clothes make the man – or woman – and nowhere is that truer than onscreen. Over five weeks we’ll examine the different ways costume in film has been crucial to storytelling over more than a century of cinema, from the bold and clever use of colour, through costumes that add both character and period realism, to examples of how film costume can suggest futures both utopian and dystopian. We’ll stop off on the way to take a deep dive into the humble men’s suit and what it can tell us – in the right hands – and we’ll also pause to look at how the world of cinema clothes and real-world fashion have influenced each other, with surprising results. No prior knowledge is needed.
