My HISTORY OF FASHION IN FILM screening series at the Egyptian Theatre continues with the 1940s on May 26!

This series is 7 parts - one event per decade from the 1920s to the 1980s - and each will be followed by a screening of a film featured in the talk. Some of the incredible style we celebrate this month is shown in the collage above.

Guest speaker
Egyptian Theatre

If you love style in the movies, you are invited to join me to learn all about THE STYLE ESSENTIALS: HISTORY OF FASHION IN FILM. The Style Essentials are 50 films with iconic costume design that immediately impacted fashion at the time they premiered and continue to influence fashion today.

There is one talk for each decade - from the 1920s to 1980s - and each includes stills from the movies along with images from today's fashion accompanied by a conversation about film history, costume and fashion designers, and fascinating backstories of the stars.

The third event of the series focuses on the style icons from Hollywood during the 1940s - including Katharine Hepburn, Veronica Lake, Lauren Bacall, Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, and Lana Turner.

Tickets are $12 for both the talk and screening. Click here to purchase tickets through the American Cinematheque and Fandango.

Nearly 50 students from Westfield high school attended my talk on the 1930s -
love reaching this younger audience and hearing how much they enjoyed it!
