The importance of fashion in film.



Fashion has its own importance in the world. One can express their personality and emotions just by the apparel that they wear. The colors of the apparel bring out the mood of the person.
Fashion is not a new thing in the world. 
Fashion is an old thing and it is found every where and at all times.
Yes, from time to time fashion changed but it has shown its existence in all ages.
There are different eras of fashion. The sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties showed many transformations in fashion. And soon enough, like repetition, today styles from the sixties of high waisted skirts has come around again today. 

Fashions relation to film is paramount. 
Fashion, in this context is referred to as the apparel worn in films by the characters in the films.
Imagine if the actors and actresses in films were to wear black and white clothing. The emotion of the movie would not be felt. The actors and actresses would appear characterless and would appear to have no personality.
However, if the characters were to wear bright dresses, we would be able to infer that the mood of the film is a happy and joyous one. On the other hand, if they wore grey cardigans and ash black coats, we would then infer that the mood of the film is an unhappy depressing mood.
Thus, we can decipher that without fashion, film would be nowhere.
Hence, we can say film is fashion and fashion is showcased by film.
