Top hat

While watching the film Top Hat, I noticed the fashion worn by the men and women was an important part of the film. The 1930’s began a major change in fashion. For example, the transition from the roaring twenty flappers to the complex fashion of ‘art deco.’ The costumes in this film perfectly represent the time period of trends during the 1930s. When the Wall Street crashed and the Great Depression began. It was the start of a strong influence on women's fashion in the 1930s. Because of the need to save money, the average woman could no longer buy new clothes every few months. Instead, they had to remake the clothes they already had, reusing any material that was on-hand. Women's 1930s fashion was characteristically long and sleek. The flapper look of the '20s was now out, and a more sophisticated look, which was influenced by Hollywood movies, was in at the time. One of the outfits Ginger Roger’s wore, was a suit, which was a popular style for women to wear in the 1930s. My favorite outfit that Ginger wore in the film was the ostrich feather dress in the song, “Cheek to Cheek” because it was elegant looking and fit the musical part. Fred Astaire chose and provided his own clothes for his film wardrobes, which…

They were fiery gold and red lilies and dusky roses, which the man waved under the nose of all the nearest ladies with a charming grin. “Lilies for a Lily?” he called in a strange accent, and no one spoke up. “Not a single Lily? A Rose, perhaps?” he asked forlornly. His voice was smooth and intoxicating. “What about...” he stuffed the flowers back into the hat, then pulled out a dove, which hooted and ruffled its feathers. “A bird?” Birdie and Albert’s eyes locked for a moment, and he…

Who is Stephen Jones? Well if you asked me, I would say he is the go-to man for hats.

costume designs. She also wanted to put a modern spin on all aspects of the show (costuming included). In order to dress Amanda in a way that would fit this vision, I made her clothes classy, elegant, and a tad revealing, albeit cheaply made. All of her outfits are the less expensive knockoffs of upper class clothes. I drew inspiration from old Hollywood dresses, and then found pictures of what appears to be cheaper made versions. In the play, it is depicted that she wore her faithless husbands…

The first girl I ever kissed was the daughter of a woman who frequented my parent’s hat shop. I was thirteen years old and we had escaped into the alley beside the shop. Her mother was taking her time perusing the hats: hats with wide brims, big feathers, funny textures. My family was very successful; hats were an important commodity to the women of Vienna, even to those that typically upturned their noses at my family. The approaching war distanced itself further from me each time a woman…
