Fashion in Film Part I: Annie Hall
The School of Art and Design History and Theory at Parsons is pleased to announce the Fashion in Film festival celebrating the launch of the new MA Fashion Studies program, which commences in fall 2010. This year’s festival spotlights
films in which New York City can be seen through fashion, films that captured
and defined an attitude or an era, and films in which New York City style
exists as an idea in relation to other cities and locales (i.e. Paris). For the inaugural festival,
writers, critics, and fashion personalities in New York have been invited to
select one of their favorite New York City films and to come and introduce it,
allowing us to see fashion, film, and NYC in new ways.
