THE INFLUENCE OF CINEMA IN FASHION
The film and fashion have always gone hand in hand and influenced each other from the beginning.
You could say that cinema was the gateway of fashion since World War II. Around 1914 Hollywood had its great boom and the film industry grew enormously. People needed distraction and started going more and more often to the movies, so Hollywood decided to create the so-called Star System, the "Star System".
The Stars were a mixture of actor and character admired and praised by the public and the female stars were converted in the canon to be followed by all women in the world. You could say that in the absence of walkways and models, actors and especially actresses, became a specie of Top models from the First World War until the 50s or even later.
The ladies had many feminine styles to follow completely different styles such was the thinness of the character of Audrey Hepburn who triumphed still very thin, too curvy Sophia Loren. Or the sensuality of Marilyn Monroe, in contrast to the disorder of Katherine Hepburn or Grace Kelly elegance. Those were the models for women, and the most important and relevant designers of this époque had the ability to dress those “cinema stars” by that time. Being the screen of the cinema such a runway can be today.
Maybe see how the film represented the feminine ideals in that time, made the designers on the runways represent a kind of action or almost acting representation of models and scene.
Sometimes it was the star itself which imposed their tastes in dress in the film, how did such Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich.
