Event Details

About the Fashion: Drawing influence from the Bauhaus artistic movement that originated in Germany, costume designer Milena Canonero’s work on this film helped popularize gothic fashion to a mass audience upon its release. Costuming in THE HUNGER is a combination of new wave, ‘40s noir, and the burgeoning goth subculture that would become more prevalent throughout the ‘80s. A muted color palette and stark lighting compliments the characters’ black and white clothing. David Bowie’s look is a combination of goth and new wave clothing with leather coats and round sunglasses. This look is paired with a fedora ripped straight from a film noir. Catherine Deneuve’s look was crafted by Yves Saint Laurent. She sports the quintessential ‘80s silhouette of padded shoulders mixed with a daring combo of fishnets and leather. Both characters also sport either silk garments or sheer black fabrics to help accentuate the sensuality between the two vampiric lovers.
