The iconic little black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's or the outrageous outfits of Wes Anderson's heroes - we know all these images as well as the plots themselves. We admire them, quote and recreate them. But why are they remembered and what role did they play in the success of the paintings? The book of the famous journalist and fashion analyst Christopher Laverty is a real encyclopedia in which he explores the entire cinema of the 20th century, starting from the iconic outfit of Judy Garland in the movie The Wizard of Oz, ending with the image of Olga Kurylenko in Quantum of Solace. In his book, Laverty talks about the contribution of famous designers to popular film adaptations, introduces us to such legendary tandems as Martin Scorsese and Jean-Paul Gaultier, Woody Allen and Ralph Lauren. Reveals unknown details of the behind-the-scenes film process, explaining why Leonardo DiCaprio insisted on Armani suits and what secret meaning they carry in the film The Wolf of Wall Street. With the help of hundreds of illustrations and archival photos, Christopher Laverty offers to look at the history of fashion through an unusual, but such a fascinating “costume in the movie” prism.Editorial design preserved in PDF A4.
