If you love style in the movies, you are invited to join me to learn all about THE STYLE ESSENTIALS: HISTORY OF FASHION IN FILM. The Style Essentials are 50 films with iconic costume design that immediately impacted fashion at the time they premiered and continue to influence fashion today. You can see the list of films covered in each talk in the link.

There is one talk for each decade - from the 1920s to 1980s - and each includes stills from the movies along with images from today's fashion accompanied by a conversation about film history, costume and fashion designers, and fascinating backstories of the stars.

The third event of the series focuses on the style icons from Hollywood during the 1950s - including Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Doris Day, Brigitte Bardot, and Marilyn Monroe.

Tickets are $15 for both the talk and screening. Click here to purchase tickets through the American Cinematheque and Fandango.
