Promising to be a "major extravaganza in costume spectacle, dance and diabolical glamour," the 3rd
Fashion in Film Festival in London, is coming this December 1-12. Curated by
Marketa Uhlirova, the films will focus on the use of costume as a spectacular cinematic element as seen in European and American films from the 20th century. Included in the programme are many early rare and unseen films, as well as some of the lavishly styled underground films of the mid-century.
Last week I had the pleasure to hear Marketa speak at a fashion media conference at the
London College of Fashion. She spoke in depth about the films and showed us some tantalising preview footage!
Screenings will take place at the
BFI Southbank,
Tate Modern,
The Barbican, and the
Horse Hospital. So if you live in London, or will be near London in early December, don't be surprised if "diabolical glamour" abounds.
