The aim of Clothes on Film is to examine costume and identity in movies, featuring detailed articles on outfits, reviews, news and exclusive interviews. Got a costume question? Please refer to the ‘Note’ section below.
Chris Laverty. I created Clothes on Film and write most of what you read on here. I’ve been featured on HBO television, BBC radio, live for Orange Film Night, plus written for countless mags and websites including MR PORTER, Moviescope and Empire (see Press page). My favourite drink is a Gibson, if you’re buying. Contact: chris@clothesonfilm.com to say nice things and, assuming you’ve got money to spend, offer commissions.

If you would like to contribute an article to the site about your favourite costume(s) in a movie, please contact editor chris@clothesonfilm.com – hopefully we can put something together.
Generally we cannot go searching for ‘that blue tie Brad Pitt wears’ in such-and-such, simply because a) it’s not really the point of the site and b) there are not enough hours in the day. ‘We’ for the most part means ‘I’ – as in site editor Chris Laverty. However, if it is a big ask, send an email or leave a comment. I will do what I can. Just saying please goes a long way.

Launched mid 2009, Clothes on Film has since been selected as Internet Pick of the Week by The Guardian, endorsed by Ralph Lauren, nominated as Total Film Blog of the Year and Cosmopolitan magazine and is currently one of Channel 4′s Best Fashion Blogs. Author and vintage stylist Naomi Thompson describes Clothes on Film as ‘The best website I have found for cinematic referencing’. Grazia Italy quite likes us, too.
Clothes on Film’s creator and editor was recently interviewed by Lauren Laverne for her BBC 6 Music radio show and on HBO television chatting about Boardwalk Empire. We broke that Black Swan costume credit story with our exclusive interview. Also featured on Paris Vogue, GQ, New York Times, Forbes, The Guardian, New York Magazine, Elle, NBC, Huffington Post, Empire, Harper’s Bazaar, The Daily Telegraph, Nylon magazine, CHUD.com and The Independent.
Here are two delightful reviews of Clothes on Film by Real Men Real Style (video) and à la mode, plus an interview with the editor by Deena Appel for The Costume Designer.
