Dress Code: Fashion and Film North By Northwest (PG)

Thursday 7th July 2022

PAC and The Box Plymouth will be exploring the world of film costumes as part of the exhibition ‘Dress Code—Fashion Stories from The Box’. From the early days of cinema, through the golden age of Hollywood, to the pared back looks of contemporary films, costume plays a vital and integral part in how we engage with films. Iconic images are burned into our collective memories of what cinema is - think of Marilyn Monroe's white dress billowing up, Audrey Hepburn's black gown and pearls, Cary Grant's perfect grey suit - film costumes are identifiable and aspirational.

Terah Walkup, Curator of Dress Code, and Anna Navas, Director of Plymouth Arts Cinema, will introduce a special film night at Plymouth Arts Cinema with a screening of archival fashion footage from The Box’s collection, an iconic Hollywood classic film and a post film Q&A about vintage fashion, cinema and costume with special guest, Shekinah Vintage shop.

North by Northwest (PG)
Dir. Alfred Hitchcock, US, 1959, 136 mins. Cast. Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Martin Landau.
