Book: Fashion in Film by Christopher Laverty

- "Fashion in Film... offers an intriguingly holistic examination of the multi-faceted role of a garment on screen. Through a focus on fashion designers who’ve lent their talents to the silver screen – from the well-known (Gucci; Prada; Giorgio Armani) to the less well-known (Azzedine Alaïa; Banton; Diane von Fürstenberg) – Laverty presents a much wider assessment. His interest lies not simply with how costume elicits character and tone – or, equally, how character and tone reflects costume – but also how movies have influenced fashion trends just as much as fashion trends have informed movies." - The Independent

Film: The Great Gatsby (2013, dir. Baz Luhrmann)

- "Self-appointed protectors of the novel and your "history buff" neighbor will swear Luhrmann gets it wrong, but there is no "wrong" in an interpretation, old sport. And I know that Luhrmann's camp cared about the historical details, because as an academic who writes about Fitzgerald-era fashion, I sat in a room with production designer Catherine Martin. She asked me pointed questions about period clothing." - The Atlantic
