    In the film Luhrman uses costume and makeup to portray characters’ personalities. Such as Shirley Hastings. Shirley’s costume and makeup shows the audience a great deal about her personality. Shirley always wears pink, puts ‘over the top’ makeup on and wears a lot of jewellery. This tells the audience that she is ‘over the top’ and maybe insecure about herself or her past.

  • An Expository Insight Into The Field of Fashion using Bourdieu’s Concepts.

    1443 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fashion is an organisation of knowledge based on restricted access to goods and services. The fashion industry provides a functionalist perspective into Bourdieu’s field theory and the critical divisions reproduced therein. With reference to three cases studies, an expository insight into the field of fashion, particularly in terms of the participants within hierarchical boundaries, the culture required to join the field and the marks of distinction associated with clothing, will be empirically argued to further understand this macro-structural concept that exists within society. Ultimately, the usefulness of Bourdieu’s with regard to contemporary fashion will be shown.
