Lana Turner should be remembered for many things, among them her unparalleled ability to somehow pull off the un-ironic crop top, high-waist shorts and turban combo, as seen here in a still from The Postman Always Rings Twice.
Come spring, San Francisco is on track to have its very own fashion film festival. Dubbed FashFilmFest, the inaugural year of this new film festival plans to offer classic, documentary and contemporary film screenings alongside panels and Q&As and is headed up by San Francisco style bloggers Adelle McElveen, Kimara Mitchell Stokes and Annie Wilson.
Screenings will take place at San Francisco’s Roxie Theatre. So what can you expect to see hitting the silver screen for this event?
Says the group: “FashFilmFest aims to feature films that have inspired trends, beauty, design, and culture, and give attendees insight beyond the usual standard bearers of Hollywood and grant access to the creators. Some of the best examples of costume, set design, storytelling, and cinematography will be explored in the dramatic film category. Stories of the designers and artists who shape the world of fashion and style will be showcased through documentaries.”
Submissions from independent filmmakers are being accepted through Feb. 3, 2012, and the event itself is planned for spring.
In the meantime, you can help the festival meet its fundraising goal and score some fun perks along the way by donating a little or a lot via FashFilmFest’s Kickstarter campaign.
