screen comes about in two ways
either designed from scratch or,
more frequently, bought off-the-rack
from stores with the aid of costum-
ers and personal shoppers.
Still, even with the studios'
current financial constraints, movies
continue to have the power to start
fashion trends. In the not-too-distant
past, the films Bonnie and Clyde and
Annie Hall had a significant fashion
impact.
"The 1930s look of long skirts
and slinky sweaters was easy,
inexpensive, and modern as well,"
says Schreier. "The Bonnie and

Annie Hall fashions became
popular because they were
inexpensive, easy to adapt and were
comfortable for women of all age

Schreier makes the point,
though, that not all movies with
great looking clothes will change
what's in our closet. "You have to

potential for a 'look' there," Schreier
observes, "but the designer didn't
have the budget and the film wasn't
a success except here in Detroit
because of the automobile industry"
