Italian Style: Fashion & Film from Early Cinema to the Digital Age: Topics and Issues in National Cinema

Autor Professor Eugenia Paulicelli
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 sep 2016
This is the first in-depth, book-length study on fashion and Italian cinema from the silent film to the present. Italian cinema launched Italian fashion to the world. The book is the story of this launch. The creation of an Italian style and fashion as they are perceived today, especially by foreigners, was a product of the post World War II years. Before then, Parisian fashion had dominated Europe and the world. Just as fashion was part of Parisian and French national identity, the book explores the process of shaping and inventing an Italian style and fashion that ran parallel to, and at times took the lead in, the creation of an Italian national identity. In bringing to the fore these intersections, as well as emphasizing the importance of craft in cinema, fashion and costume design, the book aims to offer new visions of films by directors such as Nino Oxilia, Mario Camerini, Alessandro Blasetti, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti and Paolo Sorrentino, of film stars such as Lyda Borelli, Francesca Bertini, Pina Menichelli, Lucia Bosè, Monica Vitti, Marcello Mastroianni, Toni Servillo and others, and the costume archives and designers who have been central to the development of Made in Italy and Italian style.

Recenzii

The insight at the heart of Paulicelli's earnest and unflashy book is that dress cultivates mood and can variously intimate the languor or lasciviousness of a specific moment or the state of an entire country ... [Paulicelli is] knowledgeable and unafraid to wade deep into obscure Italian films and textile history.
This critically elegant and highly readable book tackles anew how fashion and cinema combine social history with aesthetics. Impressively well researched, Italian Style is a compelling exploration of how the fashion industry and its costume designers shaped the cultural context of national identity. With vigor and clarity, Paulicelli illuminates such films as Fellini's Roma, Antonioni's Le amiche, and Sorrentino's La grande bellezza. A must-read for anyone with an interest in cinema and passion for this glorious art.
"Paulicelli's book is a tour de force of film and fashion scholarship, a beautifully written and authoritative exploration of Italian national identity that will appeal to a wide readership. In mapping out Italy's rich cultural heritage from early twentieth century modernism, through the economic miracle years to the present day, this book sets out to do nothing less than define Italian style as embodied by the dialogue between fashion and film. That Italian Style achieves this is testament to its brilliance."
An important initial assessment of the intertwined destinies of fashion and film in Italy from the start of the twentieth century to the present . Well researched, theoretically grounded, and densely argued, this book is an important read for scholars and students of fashion and/or film.
