Love how she breaks down the scene of the girl going on her date, a fascinating look at the storytelling aspect of costume design that audiences typically wouldn’t give much thought to!

I miss the style and fashion back then!! They were soo elegant, beautiful, respectful and handsome

That's quite understandable consider most fashion nowadays is quite more wild (not all of them though, just generally). I think is either because of the cut in materials, which later makes some style of short skirt/ pants, the hole leggings, uncover backspine style in gown, etc. or it may affects by pop up or abstract experiments for "something new" (unlike some mainstream design/ style) to be an Avant-Garde look (or maybe the reason is both). But here's a fact: even before this looks (on the video) compare to now, people always extravagant themselves (mostly high class though) indulge in glamour and fair beauty or flash light show look. Like in Greek era most of them wear like a cloth while on Byzantium later wore too much jewels & heavy garments. Samething happens in Italy when if I remember Louis (forgot which 1, sorry) banned using jewelry that the men wore scarf instead for accessories til Louis then starting to put diamonds on his clothes that men follow his extravagants. This also happen when women wore petticoat or kryloin (the under dress shark cage for skirt) that later they wore chemise...Italy (I may be wrong sorry), which is so thin that most women wore them die during winter (but people back then believed their pale skin is beautiful). So just you know, humans are always like that (& yes I have to ackknowledge that I have potential to be wasted like them...so can you & everyone though) cause there are possibility we do good or bad. It always about themselves if they wanna change for better than worst. I still have hope though not just fashion but in every part of life we human still gonna be...good at least...or if possible (& even better) be the "better of ourselves".

I admired Edith's work as well as her contemporaries.Walter Plunkett and Helen Rose. These creative people need a higher recognition for their hard work and dedication in Costume Design.

I love the part where the narrator describes the extensive qualifications a costume designer typically has but the truth for Edith Head was she had very little experience, certainly didn't have a fashion line of her own, but what she did have was heaps of gumption.

Plus, EH stole designs from other designers and young designers working under her without giving them credit.

Haha! hope you meant "she *was* amazing!" Finally got enough doe to hunt down her big Biography Book displayed at the California Mart in Downtown L.A. years back. It's a coffee table sized book with plenty of pictures of Edith Head in Costume action! Wish to help an FX Prop Buddy #RobertMiller locate any pic instance of his Mom who used to work for Edith Head probably throughout the '60's (she was Japanese).

@@men_del12 Hi! No worries! Edith Head was a fine Costumer! I was just teasing *Margot's* Grammer there. She had said Edith is Amazing. Edith Head died in 1981. I worked on a student independent film with her distant creatively talented cousin, *Steve* *Head* . He too has passed. I still have some sketches of his showing he too had a brilliant mind.

@@designertjp-utube Ah I see. That's quite a relief because I read from another video a commenter said she had discredited several copyright ownership from her students or workers by stating the idea sketches are from her (is that true?). Also where do you have any suggestions for a long documentary about her since youtube mostly shown a short video.

@@men_del12 Well, Costumer *Edith* *Head* was no stranger to _"drawing in the shadows"_ of bigger named Designers like #TravisBanton and #HowardGreer and #Adrian while coming up. As she got older and saw the _twilight of her years_ approaching, I bet she willingly succumbed into "doing some shadowing" of her own to her young upstarts in her own Design/Fitting Room. Perhaps one of the last big pictures Edith worked on was, _"Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid"_ Starring *SNL* Comedian *Steve* *Martin* - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmPIl3ekgb-dqc0 -- Sure hope you heard the mostly true humorous "comeback" story of how Edith Head got up and accepted her *Oscar* for Best Costumes for _"Breakfast at Tiffany's"_ at the *1962* *Academy* *Awards* and didn't say a dang thing about *Givenchy's* Gown involvement in the picture (which apparently got corrected approx 8 years later). Short Hair Actress *Audrey* *Hepburn* wasn't thrilled with any of the wardrobe Edith was sketching out for her, and secretly jetted to Paris France to get into some threads by Givenchy. And didn't tell our Edith until after the fact. Thus Edith Head shot back a cool revenge move by _snubbing out Givenchy_ at The Academy Awards (𝕍𝕖𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕚𝕤 𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕖 𝕤𝕒𝕪𝕖𝕥𝕙 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕝𝕠𝕣𝕕). I'd say don't worry about locating super long Edith Head Docus here on KZbin, and instead let's locate her big *Biography* *Book* . Heard that, at the time of her death, Edith was steadily compiling Bio-Material on herself into a big box. I personally saw a big "Coffee Table Display Size" Docu Book on her at the L.A. Downtown *California* *Mart* somewhere between 2005 and 2014. I think it retailed for approx 90.00 to 110.00 in a high end Bookstore over there. Really thought this was The Bio Book that Edith wanted to do herself, and that maybe these Authors actually "found her big box!". Never achieved a big enough Freelance Paycheck to grab it yet.

I really like the work of Charles Le Maire My favorite costumer designer whatever the picture, this is why I enjoy 20th Century Fox dramas, musicals, comedies, westerns and epics.

She was amazing. And also lucky enough to have been around in such a glamorous era. Very different to today. Another great costume designer was Australian Orry Kelly.
