The Costume Designer

1950·Documentary·9m
7.1
This short focuses on the job of the costume designer in the production of motion pictures. The costume designer must design clothing that is correct for the film historically and geographically, and must be appropriate for the mood of the individual scene. We see famed costume designer Edith Head at work on a production. The Costume Designer was part of The Industry Film Project, a twelve-part series produced by the film studios and the Academy. Each series episode was produced to inform the public on a specific facet of the motion picture industry. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2012.

Is this like an ad? Maybe. But seriously, Edith Head is one of the people who made me fall in love with movies. Her designs are so magnificent that I can’t watch a movie without paying attention to the clothes at all times.
Fashion is in everything, everywhere.
