Clothes from films set during 1960s

  • Beautiful and affecting, even if it does collapse under the weight of its own earnestness at times.

  • The blue towelling playsuit in Goldfinger is typically remembered as Bond’s one sartorial disaster. Yet it might be worthy of reconsideration.

  • As account man Roger Sterling, John Slattery tended to wear a light grey three piece suit; right up until he donned a sharp double breasted for the first time.

  • Artist Cathy Lomax has recreated several images from Rosemary’s Baby, analysing the film via costumes worn by its titular central character.

  • The period is swinging, but the trailer is classy.

  • Some official images have surfaced for X-Men: First Class. The sixties costumes vibe is not excessive, however.

  • On Meg Ryan’s character Alice, hippie seems like a passing trend rather than a lifestyle choice.

  • Matt Spaiser, creator of The Suits of James Bond blog, analyses the style of 007 in the film that started it all – Dr. No.

  • Following a trip to Rome, Betty dons the latest in European chic – a colourful maxi dress that belongs in sleepy Ossining just about as much as she does.

  • It’s grim by the coast. A trailer for 1960s set Brighton Rock has arrived online.

  • Beyond Biba: A Portrait of Barbara Hulanicki is a contextualised examination of one woman’s extraordinary influence on popular culture.

  • Less a costume movie and more a fashion one, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is typical of its naughty director Russ Meyer in all the best ways.
