This book steers attention toward two key aspects of German culture--film and fashion--that
shared similar trajectories and multiple connections, looking at them not only in
the immediate postwar years but as far back as 1939. They formed spectacular sites
of the postwar recovery processes in both East and West Germany. Viewed against the
background of the abundant fashion discourses in the Berlin-based press, the films
discussed include classics such as The Murderers Are among Us, Street Acquaintance,
and Destinies of Women as well as neglected works such as And the Heavens above Us,
Martina, Modell Bianka, and Ingrid. These films' treatments of fashion during times
of crisis offer subtle reflections on the everyday lives, desires, careers, and self-perceptions
of the women who made up a large majority of the postwar public. Costume--in films
produced both by DEFA and by West German studios--is a productive site to explore
the intersections between realism and escapism. With its focus on costumes within
the context of the films' production, distribution, and reception, this book opens
up wider discussions about the role of the costume designer, the ways film costumes
can be read as intertexts, and the impact on audiences' behaviors and looks. The book
reveals multiple connecitons between film and fashion, both across the temporal dividing
line of 1945 and the Cold War split between East and West--back cover
