These influential industries offer representations of ideas, values, and beliefs that shape and construct cultural identities. In \u003ci\u003eFashioning Spanish Cinema, \u003c\/i\u003eJorge Pérez analyses the use of clothing and fashion as costumes within Spanish cinema, paying particular attention to the significance of those costumes in relation to the visual styles and the narratives of the films. The author examines the links between costume analysis and other fields and theoretical frameworks such as fashion studies, the history of dress, celebrity studies, and gender and feminist studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFashioning Spanish Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e looks at instances in which costumes are essential to shaping the public image of stars, such as Conchita Montenegro, Sara Montiel, Victoria Abril, and Penélope Cruz. Focusing on examples in which costumes have discursive autonomy, it explores how costumes engage with broader issues of identity and, relatedly, how costumes impact everyday practices and fashion trends beyond cinema. Drawing on case studies from multiple periods, films by contemporary directors and genres, and red-carpet events such as the Oscars and Goya Awards,\u003ci\u003e Fashioning Spanish Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e contributes a pivotal Spanish perspective to expanding interdisciplinary work on the intersections between film and fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Fashion, Costume, and Spanish Cinema \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
