In & Out of Fashion

Director in Person
Screening on Film
Directed by William Klein.
France, 1994, 35mm, color, 85 min.

This montage film mixes excerpts from Klein’s feature films with imagery from his fashion photography, books, and paintings, and even includes rare footage he shot of Yves Saint Laurent’s very first runway show. The title suggests not only the centrality of fashion to Klein’s work, but also the shifts in taste that have by turns cast him in the spotlight or relegated him to the wings. Given the current revival of attention to nearly all aspects of his career, Klein’s now classic work remains very much in fashion.
