A special “style lounge” will be opened at this year’s Venice Film Festival to showcase short films made by fashion designers and design houses.
The films to be featured include Designer-turned-director Tom Ford’s very first movie A Single Man.
Tom Ford’s movie, starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode and Nicholas Hoult, will premiere on Sept. 11, closing the festival as the final film.
The other fashion films to be screened at the Venice Film Festival include Edoardo Winspeare’s Les Noces de Papier for Louis Vuitton; La Scarpa by Andrea Rovetta for Ferragamo, and Paris-Moscou by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel.
Though Tom Ford’s first feature film will be screened in the main competition, the others won’t be entered for the festival’s main The Golden Lion Award prize. They will be shown alongside the film industry’s most promising Oscar contenders.
Tom Ford’s film is set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the peak of the Cuban missile crisis, and tells the tale of a British professor struggling after the death of his longtime partner. According to Ford’s production company, “The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.”

Fashion and cinema always had strong ties… While films often offered the perfect way to showcase strong designs, from the spectacular gowns by Adrian of the Hollywood golden age to the latest silhouettes from the runway on the red carpet today, fashion takes inspiration by the characters, actresses or just the general mood of a movie.
Starting on May 10, Film and Fashion lovers in London will be able to go to the movies with style!
“If Looks Could Kill: Cinema’s Images of Fashion, Crime and Violence” is a fantastic program that includes rare movies by Dario Argento, Louis Feuillade or Mario Bava.
This extensive series of screenings and special events takes place across five major London arts venues between 10 – 31 May, 2008.
Programme Curator: Marketa Uhlirova
Associate Curator: Christel Tsilibaris
If Looks Could Kill: Cinema’s Images of Fashion, Crime and Violence is also the title of a forthcoming illustrated catalogue, co-published by Fashion in Film festival and Koenig Books in May 2008, and featuring thirty newly commissioned essays.
Fashion in Film is a collaborative research project based at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and supported by numerous cultural and educational organisations internationally. Its wide-reaching biennial festivals showcase films in which fashion and costume play vital roles.
