Costume Geekout
Feb. 12th, 2008 09:50 pmHeads up to anyone in Southern California who likes a good time with imaginatively arranged cloth:
Check out the Art of Motion Picture Costume Design exhibit at FIDM* in LA ... VERY COOL. There are actual costumes from several of this year's biggest movies including the ones nominated for Best Costume Design. And, for some reason, Beowulf... which was ... entirely CG? Oh well, someone made some very nice costumes anyway. My deep abiding love for the Sweeney Todd wardrobe has been heightened by closer study and realization of how the clothes are practically character design – I mean, even more than you'd expect. I only wish they'd have listed some of the materials used.
Other movies represented off the top of my head: Atonement, 300, Marie Antoinette, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,** Enchanted, Youth Without Youth, Stardust, Hairspray, Lust Caution, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and 3:10 to Yuma. Also something Indian whose title I forget.
*Fashion Institute ... of ... Danger Mouse?
**Hey Makani, I saw Lucius' Death Eater robes! A-hahahahaa! The HP costumes are also much more awesome in person, especially Tonks'.
