Hollywood: Fashion Steps Into Frame | Episode 7: In Vogue, The 2000s

During the golden age of the movies actresses were dressed by costume designers and their on-screen looks set trends; a notable example is the raffles-sleeve “Letty Lynton” dress Adrian created for Joan Crawford. The romance between fashion and film in the 1930s cooled in the years after. And before long the creative industries were siloed. “When I grew up, there was a distinct line between fashion, film, music, high art, like opera, theater—they just didn’t mix,” says director Baz Luhrmann. “And if you were hanging around fashion, you were kinda considered shallow. You couldn’t be, you know, a substantial filmmaker if you cared about fashion. That line disappeared in the early 2000s.”
