Making of the 'New Fashion for the New Woman 1900–1950' Exhibition

About This Movie

So, this documentary, directed by Ray Fairhurst, dives into the 'New Fashion for the New Woman' exhibition that runs from 1900 to 1950. It's quite the interesting exploration, really. The footage, shot by students from the University of York, lends a sort of raw, authentic feel to the whole thing. You can really sense the atmosphere of the era through the styles and the narratives presented. Fairhurst's editing weaves the different pieces together nicely, even if it feels a bit uneven at times. The pacing keeps you engaged without dragging on, and the themes of empowerment and identity shine through. Definitely a unique way to look at fashion history, and you can tell there’s a genuine passion behind it all.
