Puttin’ on the Glitz: Hollywood’s Influence on Fashion examines the major impact that Hollywood had and continues to have over fashion. This exciting exhibit highlights films and designers from Hollywood’s golden years through the 20th century, all presented within a historical context. Items on display include significant books, journals, images, videos, and movie posters from the Libraries’ collections, and stunning costumes from UCI’s drama department. The curator is Becky Imamoto, Research Librarian for History. I hope you enjoy the exhibit and return to view others in the future. Gerald L. Lowell Interim University Librarian - 3 - this exhibit examines the history of Hollywood costume design from its inception to the end of the 20th century. In the early 1910s, costume design was little more than an afterthought, with silent screen actresses providing costumes from their personal wardrobes. However, during the Golden Age (1930- 1959), Hollywood realized how much publicity and money could be generated through its promotion of new fashion designs, and so set to work building an image of splendor, luxury, and endless consumption. Hollywood was, and is, a powerful social force that determines what is considered by the rest of the world to be beautiful and glamorous.

It also provides a concise survey of the significant designers of the time, essay and discussion questions, and further reading and research suggestions. Objective The main objective of this chapter is to study the development of fashion during the second half of the 19th century, particularly the establishment of those aspects of the fashion system that are still in place today. Fashion in this period reflected the latest developments in engineering, chemistry, and communication and witnessed development of the role of the “fashion designer.” Key Teaching Points The following teaching points have been arranged thematically and highlight the important topics that need to be covered in order to meet the main objective of the chapter. Social and Economic Background • Britain o reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901); stress on propriety and etiquette o rapid industrialization o expanding overseas empire • United States o impact of Civil War (1861-1865) on global trade o emergence as industrial power • France o reestablishment of court during Second Empire (begins 1852, ends with Franco-Prussian war 1870) o transformation of Paris into fashionable modern city • Japan o opens borders (1853-1854) o goods enter the Western market and impact Western tastes The Arts • Orientalism and Academic

  • A Study of Ballet Costume from Symphony in Canada
    A STUDY OF A BALLET COSTUME FROM SYMPHONY IN C By Teresa Adamo PART ONE BDes Fashion Student How a plain white tutu donated by the National Ballet of Canada reveals more than meets the eye. January 13, 2017 Part one explores the artifact in detail in order to learn how a classical tutu was made by the wardrobe department at the National Ballet of Canada. At first glance, there does not seem to be anything particularly interesting about the classical white tutu laying on the table in the Fashion Research Collection. It is one of several costumes donated to Ryerson by the National Ballet of Canada in 2014. This tutu was worn by a member of the corps de ballet for a production of the Balanchine ballet Symphony in C in 1984. It is of course both delicate and pretty as all tutus are, but nonetheless appears rather plain since the decoration was removed from the skirt for reuse on other costumes by the Wardrobe Department at the National Ballet. Even so, it is compelling to study in order to learn about how classical tutus are made. My research revealed that there is much more history behind this plain white ballet costume after all. This artifact provided me with a learning experience about construction methods which will be discussed in this blog post. A subsequent post will discuss the nature of design aesthetics for dancewear, the dance history surrounding two national dance companies, as well as insight into the influential work of costume maven Madame Karinska. In general, tutus are made of three main parts, the skirt, the basque, and the bodice.
