About

The Institute for Costume and Screen Culture produces rigorous critical analysis of on-screen costume and wardrobe in film and television, treating clothing as a primary storytelling text rather than a secondary production detail. Through a freely accessible digital publication illustrated with original drawings, the Institute builds a public archive of costume criticism that sits between academic scholarship and cultural journalism. The long-term program includes public exhibitions and the development of a permanent institution dedicated to screen costume as cultural artifact.
