The Golden Age of Hollywood
Thursday, May 25, 1 p.m.
Fashion on the silver screen during the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s was not only glamorous and influential but was enjoyed as an “escape” from the problems of each decade. In the Depression era, folks could attend the movies as a way to forget their current circumstances, while the films served as both escapism and news reporting during the long years of World War II. Finally, 1950s movies continued to show elegant fashions that were inspiring to the audiences of that period, but the advent of television caused fashion influence to be split between the silver screen and the smaller TV in America’s homes. Attendees will travel through the decades and enjoy a glimpse into the glamor of that golden age. This program is presented by Ren Antonowicz of Spirit of Fashion.
