leather jacket | Clothes on Film – Part 2

A mishmash of sci-fi conventions and clichés cobbled together as something we have never quite seen before.

The costumes of Rumble Fish express the importance of teenage dress codes before the segregating journey into adulthood.

It is impossible not to have fun watching Avengers Assemble.

Ruth E. Carter’s work on Do the Right Thing is a masterclass in how costume can influence the look and feel of a film.

Costume designer Michael Kaplan took time away from Star Trek 2 to chat exclusively to Clothes on Film about Ghost Protocol.

Enjoyably daft fare with enough fast cars and desirable clobber to keep you cooing until the credits.

Playing computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander, Noomi Rapace embodies the character in such a way that picturing anyone else in the role is nearly impossible.

Rooney Mara’s Lisbeth will be a style icon.

The first trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger has bish bash boshed onto the internet.

Some images and the latest trailer from Water for Elephants. Period costume design by Jacqueline West.

For those of you lucky enough to live in LA, literally racks of costumes have just on display at The FIDM Museum.

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