Eye on the Oscars: Art Direction, Costume Designers & Makeup
FIDM’s Meghan Hansen installs Peppy Miller’s dress from ‘The Artist.’
For 20 years, costume designers, some of whom were nominated for an
Oscar on Jan. 24, have found their work on display at the Fashion
Institute of Design and Merchandising in downtown Los Angeles. The
groundwork for securing the costumes starts a year in advance as FIDM
Museum director Barbara Bundy and her staff curate the display after
watching movies and trailers. Some of the costumes have been rented,
some recycled for other productions and with so many projects from
around the globe meriting inclusion, the staff has to move early before
costumes are scattered to the winds once production ends.
