the costume designer: edith head and hollywood giveaway

Costume designers. They’re an incredible lot, making the acting folk we gaze at on screen look extra-exquisite, or ghoulish, or curmudgeonly… whatever the story requires, really. And one of the greatest costume designers of all time is Edith Head, a lady who nabbed eight Academy Awards over the course her career. She dressed the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Shirley Temple and Veronica Lake, and now, thanks to the good folk at the Bendigo Art Gallery in Victoria, the very duds she designed are now on show.
