Fashion comes alive on the movie screens giving our favorite characters and actors an iconic status. Since the beginning of the cinema actor’s wardrobe was as much as a part of the plot as the happy end. Each piece of apparel, including important extras, is carefully selected by directors to make sure it gives a character or a scene believable factor. If you pay attention to any scene you notice that the main character’s outfit stands out the most in color and overall look. Since the movies are usually made about a year in advance some directors prefer to work with “neutral style” so, the fashion won’t appear out of date by the film release.
There is been a lot of cross-pollination between fashion and movies. Currently there are more hot actresses sporting latest styles on magazine covers then professional models. Since 1940′s fashion designers are becoming revered as the costume designers like Jean Paul Gaultier in “The Fifth Element” and many others. Movie fashion influence extends into creating household names out of designers and stylists who dress imaginary characters. Just think what “Sex And The City” did for Patricia Field and Manolo Blahnic.
Some of the most recognizable fashion items in the movie’s fantasyland that defies all genres, generations and genders is a scarf. Here are some of my favorite “on the screen scarf” moments:
