Costume Designer - Edith Head





While exploring the relationship between fashion and cinema, at the moment, looking closely at Haute Couture in film, I have become interested in the work and life of (the late) costume designer Edith Head. She has designed for films such as 'Anthing Goes' - 1956, 'Sylvia' -1965 and 'The Yellow Rolls Royce' - 1965, to name a few.

Many of the famous Hollywood stars for over four decades have been dressed by her and she has been recognised as a hard working, adaptable designer - winning 8 academy awards for her work and given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

As well as her work, it is her personal style which is very much a source of inspiration
