Fashion Film is the first detailed study of the shifting shape of fashion imagery in the digital age, investigating the role of the moving image in the promotion, communication and spectacle of contemporary fashion. Combining interdisciplinary analysis of cinema and digital culture, this ground-breaking book traces the emergence of fashion film in the 21st century through its historical roots in pre-digital forms of photography, experimental cinema, mass-media advertising and documentary film-making, right up to todays visual spread of contemporary fashion on video blogs, online magazines and live-streamed catwalk shows.Examining collaborations between fashion designers and pioneering image-makers such as Guy Bourdin, Jean-Paul Goode, William Klein and Nick Knight, the book highlights the critical tension between the fashion film conceived as a creative endeavour and as commercial enterprise.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Few European male actors have been as iconic and influential for generations of filmgoers as Alain Delon. Emblematic of a modern, European masculinity, Delons appeal spanned cultures and continents. From his breakthrough as the first on-screen Tom Ripley in Purple Noon in 1960, through two legendary performances in Rocco and His Brothers and The Leopard in the early 1960s, to his roles in some of Jean-Pierre Melvilles most celebrated films noirs, Delon came to embody the flair and stylishness of the European thriller as one of Frances most recognizable film stars. This collection examines the stars career, image and persona. Not only focusing on his spectacular early performances, the book also considers less well documented aspects of Delons long career such as his time in Hollywood, his work as director, producer and screenwriter, his musical collaborations, his TV appearances, and his enduring role as a fashion icon in the 21st century. Whether the object of reverence or ridicule, of desire or disdain, Delon remains a unique figure who continues to court controversy and fascination more than five decades after he first achieved international fame. "The first book-length English-language academic study of iconic French actor Alain Delon, whose mass appeal, impact and stardom reached across cultures and continents"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
