Colors are important for the fashion world. They can always give designers endless creativity and inspiration. We can hardly imagine the black and white movie era when we have got used to the colorful world at present. In this post, I will select 4 classic black and white movies and show how the talented fashion designer let the ladies in the films to show their charm in the black and white world.

“It happened one night” is an important black and white movie in American film history. The actress Claudette Colbert left us deep impression when she lifted her dress and ask for a ride with her legs in this film. This wealthy lady showed us her innocent, sexy and romantic temperament. The film's costume design in this movie was relatively conservative, but it did not lack the extravagance of high society.


Vivien Leigh was British national treasure movie actress. This beautiful and talented woman still perfectly acted a sadly women in the film “Waterloo Bridge” when the film producer changed the male lead suddenly. At that time when romantic film and mystery film occupied the black and white film world, we can see so many beautiful women wearing beautiful dresses in the films. But the MGM designer Gilbert Adrian designed a uniform style windbreaker for Vivien, successfully shaped the classic woman image of World War I.


Among film director Hitchcock’s favorite actress, Joan Fontaine was a very special one. She won the Oscar awards when she first cooperated with this world famous director. “Rebecca” was a mystery film, the plot was rather terrible and thriller. However, the costume designer Joan Ellacott used the most gorgeous styling to build the frightened beautiful young woman in the film.



Edith Head was definitely the leader among all the movie costume designers. Edith had designed for thousands of films. She first cooperated with Hitchcock in the film “Notorious”. Her model was Swedish beauty Ingrid Bergman. Since Ingrid was a big-boned lady, Edith designed a long sleeve black dress with shoulder pads. This black dress not only aptly showed the charm of women, but also met the personalities of people in war era.
