About the site | Clothes on Film

The aim of this blog is to examine fashion and identity on film. With articles on specific outfits, essays, reviews, news and whatever else seems to fit, I and some contributors will create a mini-library of movie clothes for you to drop by and peruse whenever you like.

If you feel an article has overlooked an important point or is just plain wrong, please email at the address below to set me straight (nobody here is getting paid though, so don’t be rude). Furthermore if there is a specific outfit/film not yet featured that you would like to talk about yourself, get in contact and hopefully we can put something up on the site.

Clothes on Film Editor:

I’m Chris Laverty, writer with a love of fashion, vintage in particular, and cinema (read my reviews at Rotten Tomatoes among others). For fans of random I prefer snow to sun, desert boots to shoes, and my favourite drink is Japanese whisky. This is my site. Enjoy it.

From a young age she has been wearing vintage clothes, creating cool and kooky looks from purchases in second-hand stores – never afraid to be the centre of attention.

Spoilers:

A gentle word of warning…for safety’s sake assume that all articles, reviews, essays, etc include spoilers. This is probably the sort of place to visit after you have seen the movie, not before. The reasons for spoilers are pretty obvious; to discuss the clothes in a film we need to talk about it – all of it.
