Costumes in Film

Through their creations, costume designers have left lasting impressions on cinema audiences from the early days of Hollywood. Marilyn Monroe made history with her performance in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) on account of the famous pink dress with a big bow in the back designed by William Travilla. Hubert de Givenchy immortalized the "Little Black Dress" with a single opening scene showing Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). Meanwhile, Dorothy’s ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland are amongst the most valuable items of The Wizard of Oz (1939) memorabilia! In this class, we will take a close look at some of the most memorable moments of costumes in film, and the role of the designer to bring characters to life through costumes, focusing on classic moments from film favorites and the untold stories of the creative talent working behind the scenes to dress the stars. Instructor: Lena Borovci
