*Film, Fashion, and the 1960s***

/Edited by Eugenia Paulicelli, Drake Stutesman & Louise Wallengerg ///

A fascinating look at one of the most experimental, volatile, and 
influential decades, /Film, Fashion, and the 1960s/, examines the 
numerous ways in which film and fashion intersected and affected 
identity expression during the era. From /A Hard Day’s Night/ to 
/Breakfast at Tiffany’s/, from the works of Ingmar Bergman to Blake 
Edwards, the groundbreaking cinema of the 1960s often used fashion as 
the ultimate expression for urbanity, youth, and political 
(un)awareness. Crumbling hierarchies brought together previously 
separate cultural domains, and these blurred boundaries could be seen in 
unisex fashions and roles played out on the silver screen. As this 
volume amply demonstrates, fashion in films from Italy, France, England, 
Sweden, India, and the United States helped portray the rapidly changing 
faces of this cultural avant-gardism. This blending of fashion and film 
ultimately created a new aesthetic that continues to influence the 
fashion and media of today.
