Film Fashion Fête


What may be the most impressive showcase of iconic movie attire ever assembled opens on October 20 at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. Curated by Academy Award-nominated designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis, Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, and Keith Lodwick Hollywood Costume brings together more than 100 garments worn by a host well-known characters such as Scarlett O’Hara, Jason Bourne, and Harry Potter as well as Batman, Spider-Man, and the Addams Family. More behind-the-scenes highlights here. The exhibition continues through January 27, 2013.

One side note: we’ve seen the original cane used by Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp on display at the main house of George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch, so we’re curious if the one appearing in this exhibition was kept by Chaplin as a backup. If anyone finds out, please let us know.
