The Beatles and Martin Scorsese

THE BEATLES AND MARTIN SCORSESE

The new documentary Beatles ’64, produced by Martin Scorsese and now available on Disney+, delves into the historical and cultural events that transformed the Beatles from an emerging band into a global phenomenon. Thanks to their historic appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, “BeatlesMania” came to life, transforming a local British phenomenon into a cultural event of global resonance. Through archival footage, interviews, and rare images, the film explores their rise to fame, capturing the magic that made them timeless icons. Rock is more than just a music genre; it’s a cultural movement, and the Beatles were at its forefront. Their influence extended far beyond music, inspiring generations of fans, artists, and designers. John, Paul, George, and Ringo were not only musical pioneers but also style icons. Their evolving looks throughout the 1960s from tailored suits to psychedelic jackets reflected the era’s shifting styles. Even today, the Beatles’ appeal continues to inspire major brands. Vans has launched a sneaker collection celebrating the band’s legendary albums, such as Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, featuring iconic psychedelic graphics. The Japanese brand Comme des Garçons has reimagined their 60s aesthetic with a clothing line that includes t-shirts, sweatshirts, and accessories showcasing famous graphics and logos from Yellow Submarine and Sgt. Pepper’s. Through garments and accessories celebrating the Fab Four’s legendary iconography, Sabor revitalises the Beatles’ revolutionary style and spirit, bringing them to the forefront of contemporary fashion.
