  • Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber
    Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber TAILORING EXPECTATIONS How film costumes become the audience’s clothes ‘Bollywood’ film costume has inspired clothing trends for many years. Female consumers have managed their relation to film costume through negotiations with their tailor as to how film outfits can be modified. These efforts have coincided with, and reinforced, a semiotic of female film costume where eroticized Indian clothing, and most forms of western clothing set the vamp apart from the heroine. Since the late 1980s, consumer capitalism in India has flourished, as have films that combine the display of material excess with conservative moral values. New film costume designers, well connected to the fashion industry, dress heroines in lavish Indian outfits and western clothes; what had previously symbolized the excessive and immoral expression of modernity has become an acceptable marker of global cosmopolitanism. Material scarcity made earlier excessive costume display difficult to achieve. The altered meaning of women’s costume in film corresponds with the availability of ready-to-wear clothing, and the desire and ability of costume designers to intervene in fashion retailing. Most recently, as the volume and diversity of commoditised clothing increases, designers find that sartorial choices ‘‘on the street’’ can inspire them, as they in turn continue to shape consumer choice. Introduction Film’s ability to stimulate consumption (responding to, and further stimulating certain kinds of commodity production) has been amply explored in the case of Hollywood (Eckert, 1990; Stacey, 1994). That the pleasures associated with film going have influenced consumption in India is also true; the impact of film on various fashion trends is recognized by scholars (Dwyer and Patel, 2002, pp.

  • Catch a Falling Star
    DATA TRACKER Catch a falling star Who would have thought that Aamir Khan, once the heartthrob of millions, would become the target of so much ridicule and public anger? The star had a dream debut with Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, and subsequently won scores of fans and critical acclaim with movies like Rang de Basanti, Taare Zameen Par and 3 Idiots, among many others. His popularity soared with a television show that he produced and anchored, called Satyameva Jayate (SMJ) — a talk show around social problems such as inequality, abused women, child trafficking and such others. SMJ was Aamir’s first turn on a political stage and the three seasons, that it played for, resulted in donations pouring in from the public, for a number of causes TOP 10 CELEBRITIES IN PRINT BY NEWS BUZZ National Celebrity % PR Share in Bollywood Industry Rank Jan - Oct ‘14 Jan - Oct ‘15 Jan - Oct ‘14 Jan - Oct ‘15 1 Salman Khan Salman Khan 4.8 6 !" 2 Shah Rukh Khan Amitabh Bachchan 4.0 4 # 3 Amitabh Bachchan Shah Rukh Khan 3.3 3 $ 4 Deepika Padukone Deepika Padukone 3.0 3 !" 5 Priyanka Chopra Ranbir Kapoor 2.6 2 # 6 AAMIR KHAN Akshay Kumar 2.5 2 # 7 Ranbir Kapoor Priyanka Chopra 2.3 2 $ 8 Akshay Kumar AAMIR KHAN 2.2 2 $ 9 Hrithik Roshan Kangana Ranaut 2.1 2 New 10 Kareena Kapoor Anushka Sharma 2.1 2 New Sometime towards the beginning of last year, things began to unravel for Aamir Khan.
