Good news fashion lovers. James Nolen has curated a stylish on-screen program for the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), which coincides with the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival (VAMFF).

This year's Fashion on Film season will present a carefully selected program of fashion documentaries. This is your opportunity to admire Alexander McQueen's last collections, get to know the almighty fashion great Hubert de Givenchy, and celebrate the art of Italian millinery.

See the following films from 25 February to 14 March 2016:

BORSALINO CITY Unclassified 15
When: 25 February, 5, 6 & 11 March


The Borsalino aka fedora is not just any old hat, but is a highly sought after brand born in Italy in 1837. BORSALINO CITY celebrates the ultimate Hollywood hat, worn by Hollywood legends Charlie Chaplin, Robert Redford and Humphrey Bogart. By the 1920s, Borsalino hats could be found in prestigious stores of every major American city. Find out what makes Borsalino so special in this Australian premiere, exclusive to ACMI.


Running in conjunction with: One Morning in Italy (3 mins, USA, 2015) from filmmaker Oscar Boyson (Frances Ha). Shot on location in Pisa, the short film features some clothes in-the-making of Sleepy Jones from the United States.
