From Blade Runner to The Hunger Games, this book explores costume and dress in science fiction cinema and their impact on fashion and popular culture far beyond the films themselves. Theresa Winge considers not only the films’ stylistic choices but also their representations of technology and their socio-cultural, political, and philosophical ideologies in order to trace their significant influence on popular trends, culture, and consumption. Fashion Adventures in Science Fiction Cinema looks at sci-fi films such as Barbarella, Mad Max: Fury Road, Dune, and The Matrix in order to understand the intersections between this eclectic genre and society and culture at large. Giving an incisive account of the complex relationship between dress in science fiction and broader culture and society, Fashion Adventures in Science Fiction Cinema is essential reading to all those interested in cinema, popular culture, fashion, and identity.
