DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

Federico Fellini Italy

His surrealist masterpieces like 8½ and La Dolce Vita treat costume and dress as expressions of identity, fantasy, and the performative nature of human existence.

Pedro Almodóvar Spain

His films celebrate costume, fashion, and drag as powerful forms of self-expression and liberation, particularly in All About My Mother and The Skin I Live In.
