Fashion in Film

Fashion in Film (often abbreviated as FF) is an exhibition, research and education project based at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. Founded in 2005, Fashion in Film curates a biennial festival: the Fashion in Film Festival (often abbreviated as FFF).
History
Fashion in Film was founded by Marketa Uhlirova, Roger Burton and Christel Tsilibaris in 2005 as a way of encouraging critical response to the use of fashion, clothing, jewellery, make-up and accessories in film, and addressing current practices in the context of film’s long history.
Dedicated to promoting new ideas and experimentation, Fashion in Film commissions new public projects, bringing together artists, designers, photographers, filmmakers, performers and musicians. Drawing on a wide variety of genres, from feature and documentary film to artist video, animation shorts and newsreels, Fashion in Film present a mix of popular culture, art and the underground which shows how the moving image has represented and interpreted fashion as a concept, an industry and a cultural form.
In addition to the biennial touring Fashion in Film Festival, Fashion in Film's curators also collaborate on smaller projects including special screenings, conferences and exhibitions.
