Edith Head

Edith Head. What a wonder. costume designer for Paramount picture put her working for some of the most famous stars of the time. Such a Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Shirley MacLaine, Anne Baxter, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor. Some of her best costumes are from the GREAT films 'To catch a thief'  'Roman Holiday' ( a favorite) 'sunset Blvd' and 'All about Eve'. She recieved eight Oscars in her career, being the only woman to do so. She had no experience when she first started at Paramount and learnt drawing from the talented Travis Banton. Clara Bow was Ediths first project and she created the costumes for her movie 'Wings'. With her signature look of a dark bob and 'i can see you, but you cant see me' sunglasses she became famous for being famous. If your not a fan of Vintage movies, I assure you her costumes will convince you. X
