Costume design is a crucial, but frequently overlooked, aspect of
film that fosters an appreciation of the diverse ways in which film
and fashion enrich each other. These influential industries offer
representations of ideas, values, and beliefs that shape and
construct cultural identities. In Fashioning Spanish Cinema, Jorge
Perez analyses the use of clothing and fashion as costumes within
Spanish cinema, paying particular attention to the significance of
those costumes in relation to the visual styles and the narratives
of the films. The author examines the links between costume
analysis and other fields and theoretical frameworks such as
fashion studies, the history of dress, celebrity studies, and
gender and feminist studies. Fashioning Spanish Cinema looks at
instances in which costumes are essential to shaping the public
image of stars, such as Conchita Montenegro, Sara Montiel, Victoria
Abril, and Penelope Cruz. Focusing on examples in which costumes
have discursive autonomy, it explores how costumes engage with
broader issues of identity and, relatedly, how costumes impact
everyday practices and fashion trends beyond cinema. Drawing on
case studies from multiple periods, films by contemporary directors
and genres, and red-carpet events such as the Oscars and Goya
Awards, Fashioning Spanish Cinema contributes a pivotal Spanish
perspective to expanding interdisciplinary work on the
intersections between film and fashion.
