Artistry and History: Costume Design & Film

Join film historian Max Alvarez for this special program on the craftsmanship behind some of the greatest films and filmmaking talents of all time. The motion picture costume designer must navigate the internal studio politics of glamour in addition to designing clothing accurately reflective of film characters and narratives. Complicating matters are films set in previous decades or centuries. This stylish journey through six decades of film costume design (featuring rare archival photos and design illustrations) focuses primarily on such outstanding Hollywood artists as Edith Head, Irene Sharaff, Milena Canonero, Cecil Beaton, William Travilla, Theodora Van Runkle, and Orry-Kelly.
