Description

Given the popularity of the film à costumes with 1950s French cinema audiences, it is surprising how little attention has been shown to this genre. Costumes were crucial to this group of films, which featured exquisite reproductions of historical fashions. Yet despite being a major visual component these fantastic costumes and the talented personnel responsible for their design have received scant recognition. This book aims to re-dress this oversight by showcasing the wardrobes of four costume designers, namely Georges Annenkov, Rosine Delamare, Marcel Escoffier, and Antoine Mayo. Each designer?s costume is undressed through the identification of and subsequent methodological focus on their signature garment and/or design trademark. Thus, the corset, the crinoline, and accessories are explored in order to determine an ideological pattern from which the analytical fabric of this book is then cut. In so doing, the way in which film costume speaks as an independent producer of meaning is uncovered. This research should find resonance with anyone interested in film costume, historical fashion, and 1950s French cinema.
