Join us for this special screening at DCA to celebrate our exhibition Tartan.

Written and directed by Amy Heckerling, and loosely based on Jane Austin’s Emma, Clueless is the story of shallow, rich and socially successful Cher. Seeing herself at the top of her Beverly Hills high school’s pecking order, Cher sets about playing matchmaker, first coaxing two teachers into dating each other and then, emboldened by her success, giving hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover. But when Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher begins to question everything she once held to be important.

As well as influencing many coming-of-age teen comedies that came after, Clueless had a strong influence on cultural fashion trends and Cher’s yellow tartan suit remains an iconic costume within the history of modern film.
