Repost from @metcostumeinstitute • “Every designer at some point in their careers have been inspired by movies in some form or other, and it’s the storytelling aspect of fashion: how fashion is often used in movies as a way to develop character and has very deep psychological, analytical implications. How it’s used almost as a device to continue and develop storytelling—I think that’s what they are responding to.” –Andrew Bolton, Curator in Charge⁣ ⁣ The exploration of fashion and film continues with Turner Classic Movies’ “Follow The Thread.” Andrew Bolton reflects on fashion’s power to convey narratives—both for film directors and fashion designers—and how the same emphasis on storytelling comes alive in the exhibition “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.” Click the link in bio to learn more about the series. // 📷: John Nowak/TCM #TheMet #CostumeInstitute #MetInAmerica
