On October 16th we're watching Sofia Coppola's MARIE ANTOINETTE as part of our Fashion in Film Series! Throughout the year, not only will we highlight the work of iconic designers like Edith Head and Coco Chanel, but we will also exhibit films where the costumes are given a starring role. See the 7pm screening on November 7th. ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐๐ at countytheater.org/fashion๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฒ: Sofia Coppola created a period drama that stands apart from the rest, presenting a daring take on the life of the doomed queen of France. Coppolaโs vision of lavish costumes and production design is charged with an indie rock soundtrack set to The Cure, Bow Wow Wow, and The Strokes (just to name a few). Initially panned by some critics upon release due to its loose interpretation of historical events, MARIE ANTOINETTE has been reevaluated over the years for its stylistic approach. Starring Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette and Jason Schwartzman as Louis XVI.

๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐จ๐ง: Ever since the age of 15, when she interned with Chanel, Sofia Coppola has always had one foot firmly planted in the world of fashion. With MARIE ANTOINETTE being a period piece, Coppola worked closely with costume designer Milena Canonero, who recalls being handed a box of pastel-colored macarons as inspiration for the filmโs vibrant ensembles. The candy-like costumes showcase Antoinetteโs exuberant lifestyle and are historically accurate but with a fantastical twist to them. Antoinetteโs journey in the film begins in pale yellows and blues, reflecting her youth and innocence. During her wilder years, her look changes into brighter pinks until the final act, where her gowns take on darker tones. Canonero won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design, and MARIE ANTOINETTE would retroactively be regarded as a staple fashion film due to its eye-catching visual aesthetic.
