Fashion film: aproximações entre cinema e moda

Abstract

It is shown an audiovisual experiment in which we suggest an approximation between Fashion and Cinema. During the short film the iconography and symbols that permeated the ideas of death and life during the Victorian Era are explored. The cast is made of men and women and this work also covers issues about gender antagonism during the nineteenth century since there is an insertion of culturally female outfits associated to male bodies. There was a very strict social code during this period and it contrasts with the way the bodies and accessories that refer to sexual fetish are displayed in this piece of work. All the clothes worn here were made taking the 19th century clothing as a reference but they were mixed with contemporary references.
