Clothes from films set during 1980s

  • Gena Rowlands’ costumes as Gloria evocate character through a fashionable capsule wardrobe.

  • 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.

  • They have finally done it. Nike has recreated the famous Nike MAG trainers worn by Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future Part II.

  • The arrival of Scarface on Blu-ray grants ideal opportunity to indulge in Patricia Norris’ exemplary, disco couture costumes.

  • Win a Scarface limited edition Blu-ray DVD, scarf and money clip. Three sets to give away. Look as tasteless as Tony!

  • More clip than teaser trailer, but Meryl Streep certainly does look the part.

  • All the recurring themes in Desperately Seeking Susan are linked to one jacket.

  • A second trailer for Arthur starring Russell Brand in a top hat has arrived. Can the film possibly be as likeable as this footage implies?

  • Two trends in women’s fashion for 2011 are prints and turbans, empathised in the film Coming to America.

  • Part 2 of our examination into how the Alien films have used costume design to contextualise primal terror.

  • Gripping and meticulously structured. Held together by yet another screen bursting performance from Kathy Bates.

  • The costumes are somewhat…ahem….‘colourful’.
