How media and film influences fashion

How media and film influences fashion

According to Engelmeier and Engelmeier (1997), people are easily influenced to decide what they would wear by visible materials. Therefore, especially, we can see the fashion evolution prominently since we started enjoying such medium: film and mass media as pastime. People consume and absorb fashion has changed since the 60s. Peasdon (2013) said the relationship between fashion and film in the 60s, 70s and 80s was strongly bonded like its fashion and music; however, the tendency had changed to the TV shows from the 90s, such as Sex in the City and Gossip Girl. After that, there is a shift again to the Internet with blogs, outfit creating Polyvore and outfit sharing Lookbook websites. As a result, audience cannot be apart from those mediums any more.

* Fashion bloom through the cinema. (Engelmeier and Engelmeier, 1997)* Fashion is far less influential without power of the cinema due to its casualness. (Engelmeier and Engelmeier, 1997)* Couturier and film studio cooperate to create promo costuming, which is for only film and RTW. (Engelmeier and Engelmeier, 1997)* On the screen, as in the real world, dress has been used to communicate character and identity, and to suggest social context.

Engelmeier and Engelmeier (1997) also stated that a successful film with a big star in wearing a designers collection was the best advertisement for the couturier. For example, Audrey Hepburn, as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffanys, looked at the Tiffanys window through her dark glasses, was well expressed herself as a stylized object, perfect model and mannequin with her little black Givenchy dress and lavish jewels (Blake Edwards, 1961). The black dress from Givenchy by worn Audrey affect the media, where we can see homage of it still now, can be said the most famous black dress in this century.5

People can access and get wider range of fashion information easily due to developing of the mass media, which influence their costumes today.Mcquarrie, Miller and Phillips (2013) said, as decreasing the restriction of the mass media in this modern society, people are able to access those mediums, such as television, magazine and Internet freely today. Apparel magazine (2010) reported that social media has revolutionized the way people communicate and share information, and within the apparel industry its structure has been profoundly influenced. According to Mcquarrie, Miller and Phillips (2013), clothing, which are created by the designers and manufactures, are promoted by media institutions and the social elite who expose in the public place, such as television, movie, special event appearances, talk show and gossip magazines.9 seconds6
