The Girl on the Magazine Cover (from Easter Parade)

Fashion fans who are stretching yesterday's celebrations until Easter Monday (today) and who are on the lookout for some fashion-related film should opt for Easter Parade (1948).

Directed by Charles Walters this musical film relates the story of dancing team Don Hewes (Fred Astaire) and Nadine Hale (Ann Miller) who break up when Nadine decides to go solo. Don finds a new partner, Hannah Brown (Judy Garland), but they will need some time to be able to perform absolutely perfect dancing routines and songs.

The film is characterised by many shades of pink, from soft to bright, and features lovely costumes by Irene (women's) and Valles (men's). The movie has strong connections with fashion in one song – "The Girl on the Magazine Cover" (Richard Beavers singing, Miller dancing) – that features an ingenious choreography with a series of dancers and models framed by covers of various magazines and a triumphing Nadine stepping out of Harper's Bazaar.

Guess it wouldn't probably be possible to replicate the same choreography in our days as you may end up infringing too many copyrights while some magazines would try and tell you which celebrities/stars you should include in the number…
