I love film and am an aspiring designer, so inevitably I take an interest in costume design. Costume designers are rarely recognised for their talent. Think about it, you know the names of the actors and director of your favourite film but not the name of the costume designer.
Here are some of my favourite style moments in film. Interestingly all of these films are set before my time. Evidently I have a love for 20s, and 40s style.
The more films I watch, the more I consider studying Costume rather than Fashion design, the whole process of research, especially for period films, would be inspiring. Also you get to work with loads of different people from writers to actors and overall the final product is rewarding.
