Abstract:

Today’s fashion film is often assumed to be an entirely new form that emerged in the digital age, but in fact it has a long history going back to the time of the first film, around 1900, and this lecture will bring together examples of both to tease out some connections. It draws on methods from “media archaeology” to argue that fashion film is a multi-layered construction in which past and present are interwoven in what Michel Foucault called “a history of the present.” The talk is drawn from Caroline’s collaborative research project “Archaeology of Fashion Film.” The project is based at Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London) in collaboration with Winchester School of Art (University of Southampton).

Collaboration with fashion historian and theorist Caroline Evans. By using Evans’ important insights about fashion and history from her 2003 book Fashion at the Edge: Spectacle, Modernity and Deathliness, Clark revealed fashion’s hidden impulses. Evans shows how inﬂuences from the past haunt fashion. Caroline Evans is Professor of Fashion History and Theory at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. She is the author of The Mechanical Smile: Modernism and the First Fashion Shows in France and America, 1900–1929 (2013) and Fashion at the Edge: Spectacle, Modernity, and Deathliness (2003), among many other publications.

This October, we were honoured to have Dr. Caroline Evans present her guest lecture, entitled “Fashion Film: The Grain of the Past in the Present” at the Catalyst at the Faculty of Communication and Design at Ryerson University. This event, generously sponsored by Ryerson University’s MA Fashion program, allowed Professor Evans, a Fashion Studies editorial board member, to connect with students and faculty, as well as members of the Toronto, Canada fashion community.

We are delighted to now be able to share a recording of Professor Evan’s inspiring lecture with our journalreaders as our final work featured in Issue 2, Volume 1 of Fashion Studies.

图书描述

Recent experimental fashion has a dark side, a preoccupation with representations of death, trauma, alienation, and decay. This intriguing book looks closely at this strand of fashion design in the 1990s, exploring what its disturbing themes tell us about consumer culture and contemporary anxieties. Caroline Evans analyzes the work of experimental designers, the images of fashion photographers, and the spectacular fashion shows that developed in the final decade of the twentieth century to arrive at a new understanding of fashion's dark side and what it signifies. Fashion at the Edge considers a range of cutting-edge contemporary fashion in unprecedented depth and detail, including the work of such current designers as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, and Viktor & Rolf. Contrasting images by photographers like Steven Meisel, Nick Knight, and Juergen Teller are also reviewed. Drawing on diverse perspectives from Marx to Walter Benjamin, Evans shows that fashion stands at the very center of the contemporary, and that it voices some of Western culture's deepest concerns.
