It's been emotional - With Christopher Laverty (#50)

12/29/23 • 82 min

Garmology - A podcast about clothes, and stuff.

Tragically Chris died in a kayaking accident just weeks after recording this episode. Hence a bonus repost in memory of Christopher and to celebrate that his monumental work, the website "Clothes on film" is back online. Se link in episode notes for the updated address.

🎬✨ Dive into the fascinating world where clothing steals the spotlight on the silver screen! In a cinematic rendezvous, I sat down with Christopher Laverty, the brilliant mind behind "Fashion in Film" and the Clothes on Film website. Together, we unravel the magic when costumes transcend mere background and take centre stage, exploring how Guy Ritchie's films exemplify this phenomenon. Join us for a captivating chat that goes beyond anorak-level expertise to celebrate the transformative power of fashion in cinema. 🕵️‍♂️👗
