italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Fashion and film have long been sources of mutual inspiration, with films focusing on the fashion industry and fashion designers taking ideas from icons of the silver screen. As a phenomenon that is inherently visible, external, and communicative, fashion becomes a powerful outward signifier of an individual or collective identity. Similarly, film engages in a sustained dialogue with the world it both reflects and influences, creating an exterior, aesthetic, and visible representation of groups, cultures, or identities. This panel seeks to investigate the points of contact between fashion and film, through a variety of approaches and in a range of national contexts. Proposals might address theoretical discussions of film/fashion studies, the appearance of high fashion in film, the study of costume, the ability of fashion to reflect the advances or tensions of a society, and negotiations of gender, race, and politics through fashion, among other approaches.
