Period Costumes for the Screen
Titanic. Pride and Prejudice. Evita. Out of Africa. Gosford Park. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom . Give life to these memorable films right in your museum! Show film stills alongside 36 original costumes made for these and other recent films, and many singled out for Academy Award and other nominations for costume design!
Created for beautiful films by award-winning directors and filmmakers, and elegantly worn by the likes of Madonna, Anjelica Huston, Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, this exquisite selection of costumes comes from a stock of nearly 100,000 costumes and accessories made by the renowned British costumer, Cosprop. Founded in 1965, Cosprop specializes in creating costumes for film, television and theater pieces set in the period 1700 to 1960.
Having mostly been made for film adaptation of classical novels, the costumes in this exhibition closely follow original models in the cut and materials used. Their high quality and authenticity derive from the period-drama-in-films made in recent years under directors such as James Ivory, Jane Campion and Ang Lee. The 36 costumes selected for this exhibition are accompanied by black and white stills and film posters.
