Science fiction movies often depict futuristic fashion, which is sometimes iconic and sometimes ridiculous. In the Imaginary Worlds podcast episode ‘Sci-Fi Walks the Runway," host Eric Molinsky talks with fashion historians and authors Raissi Bretaña and Thèresa Winge about “the influence of Paco Rabanne on ‘Barbarella,’ the work of Jean-Paul Gaultier on ‘The Fifth Element’ and the way Alexander McQueen was influenced by dystopian sci-fi, which informed the McQueen style in ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’. Each of these collaborations left a lasting impact on cinema and fashion, from the runway to the shopping mall.”
