The 2nd biennial Fashion in Film Festival kicks off today. A five-venue extravaganza “‘If Looks Could Kill’ explores the compelling links between cinema, fashion, crime and violence”. Aganovich provided a catalogue illustration for the film ‘Leave Her To Heaven’, the tale of an immaculately groomed and murderous wife with a suspiciously strong attachment to her dead father. Rare films dating back to 1908 will be shown over the next 3 weeks across London.
The blurb:
“Founded in 2005 by curators Marketa Uhlirova and Christel Tsilibaris and costume designer and stylist Roger K. Burton, it quickly established itself as a leading forum for research and the retrospective exhibition of international film in which fashion and clothes play a significant part. Drawing on a rich film history from its beginnings to the present, and a wide variety of genres ranging from feature and documentary film to artist video, animation shorts and newsreels, FFF investigates how the moving image has represented and interpreted fashion as a concept, industry and cultural form.”
