1940s Fashion: a Journey in Photographs Through the Forties

Cinema has captured the pulse of the '40s in many a film. Movies such as 'The Notebook', 'Allied' ( you can't ignore Marion Cotillard's wardrobe, even if you try), 'Coco Before Chanel' and 'Seabiscuit' give us a sartorial peak into the trends of the times. And, who can forget Kristin Scott Thomas aka Katherine Clifton's one-woman homage to the flying jacket as she channelled Amelia Earheart's androgenous, modern style in 'The English Patient'.
