  • Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) showcases the glamorous “revolution in dress” that exploded during the roaring ‘20s. The costumes, designed by Oscar-winning costume designer Jean Louis, also highlight the resurrection of the flapper style in the 1960s with shorter dress hemlines, cropped hair and a less modest, more experimental style of dress. This era in fashion continued to be prominently showcased throughout the next few years in films such as The Boy Friend (1971) and The Great Gatsby (1974).
    From the Packard Humanities Institute Collection at the Academy Film Archive, "A Thoroughly Modern Wardrobe for Thoroughly Modern Millie" is a featurette released as part of the promotion of the film. Showcasing costumes and sketches from the motion picture, the featurette offers an inside look into Jean Louis’s process for creating the wardrobe for Thoroughly Modern Millie.
    The Packard Humanities Institute Collection is the largest known acquisition of theatrical trailers on film, deposited at the Archive by David Packard in 2009. This historically significant collection contains over 60,000 media items and has transformed the Academy Film Archive into the world’s foremost repository of motion picture trailers.

    Costume wise, Hollywood always used to interpret earlier eras in terms of the present. So, the hair, makeup, shoes and undergarments in this movie clip are of the 'sixties, not the 'twenties -- which is why every look feels "off". For authentic acclaimed 'twenties costume recreations, see the TV series "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries".

      In 40 years Miss Fishers styling will look intolerably "Twenty Tens" I remember when 60s and 70s period costumes were so authentic looking - now they're totally dated.

      Oh I know! I think the same thing for hairstyles and fashion portrayed in movies. I may not be a total expert obviously, but I’ve done enough being alive and looking at old photos and such to know that they are often so modern/present day and it drives me crazy! It’s like half the time they don’t even do research for the hair and clothes, etc and don’t care at all. It makes it hard to just tell from a glance or a scene what time period movies are taking place in because they are becoming so inauthentic and so modern and “politically inclined”. Just tell a good old fashioned story with a good amount of research behind it so we don’t have to focus so much on those flaws and can pay attention to the actual story message and plot!

      At least the costumes fall to the mid-knee or below ;I’ve seen many 1920’s -set movies where the women are practically wearing mini-skirts🙄

    • @ROBYNMARKOW
      @ROBYNMARKOW Před 8 měsíci +3

      it’s bcuz they felt that they have to make the clothes & hairstyles look “appealing “ to a contemporary audience. 🙄

    The problem with the costuming, is that the skirts are to short. In the 1920's, the length would be mid-calf to below the knee.

    Loved the Twenties fashions, but the movie was set in 1922 and the "Flapper" look didn't happen until the late 1920s (more like 1927 as evidenced by the films of Louise Brooks).

      R Cruz thank you!! The Broadway production of the stage version had the same issue! I guess flapper fashion is found to be more excited than early 20s looks :(

    I've always loved this movie, and the costuming was tres chic, as they say.
    I only wish they had better color-guided the print before digitizing it, or repairing it before showing it.
    The narrator describes colors that don't match the screen, and for something like this, that's fatal!

    • @Danielevanssmith
      @Danielevanssmith Před 5 lety +1

      The colors are fine.
      This is a Technicolor print and it retains the color correctly throughout the life of the film.
      Compare it to the DVD if you have access to it. I also own a Technicolor 16mm print of the film. It has the same colors.

    A very 60s color palette and dress lengths. Flapper clothes are a bit of a myth and not what your average woman wore - it was the late 20s that hemlines were a bit higher. Knee-length or above was quite shocking for the time and not at all the norm. But the costumes are extremely fashionable and exciting to behold, my goodness. I love Millie's accessorizing and the elegance of all the boudoir/pajama costumes, as well as Carol's handsome knickerbocker suit. That suit would be what the kids today would describe as "very gender"!
