The Extremes of Fashion: Women’s Couture and the Media

Fashion show runways, photo shoots, the playgrounds of the chic and stylish: this program illustrates the cycles of women’s couture through the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s—and the portrayal of women in the media as they progressed through the postwar decade, the civil rights movement, Beatlemania, the Vietnam War, and the era of women’s lib. Plenty of designer names are dropped, both from then and now, as viewers are presented with a kaleidoscope of relentlessly captivating creations from Europe and the U.S. Whether covering everything or baring all, fashion liberates even as it objectifies. Contains nudity. (53 minutes)
