It has been said that if you don’t notice the clothes used in a film, the designer has done a good job. Sometimes though, the clothes, like the music, the sets and props, become more than just background. For me, the films of Guy Ritchie embody this, so to have a good chat about precisely this subject, I sat down with Christopher Laverty, author of “Fashion in film”, the Clothes on Film website and an utter anorak when it comes to what is being worn on the big screen.
Anniversary! This is the 50th episode of Garmology!
A few reference photos for the films mentioned have been added below. Christopher has also previously answered the Garmsman Dozen questions.
And remember, while you can listen to the episode right here on the webpage (all episodes on the Garmology page), for the best experience, the podcast is also available on all the usual podcast sites, like Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcasts etc., just search for Garmology. This is very handy for listening via your phone while walking the dog, driving, cooking, or whatever activity you do where you want to listen to people talk about stuff. If you enjoy it, I very much appreciate that you follow/subscribe, and leave a rating and a review (Apple Podcasts).
