We are thrilled to partner with the Cornell Fashion + Textile Collection to recognize the work of Edith Head, one of the most celebrated and prolific costume designers in Hollywood history.

“Costumes by Edith Head” will highlight a selection of the Academy Award-winning designer’s many memorable collaborations with the leading actors and directors of the day. Introductions before each film will examine on-screen costume design decisions and highlight related ensembles from the CF+TC.
