Over 100 Hollywood Costumes to be Displayed at London's V&A Museum

Good news for all you London city dwellers...a fabulous exhibit is to be hosted by the V&A this October 2012 for all movie costume lovers. Ever wanted to see the infamous LBD worn by Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'? Or Judy Garland's pinafore frock from 'The Wizard of Oz'? 
A large 'Hollywood costume' exhibition will showcase more than a hundred of the most memorable dresses, accessories, suits and wares for the first time.

The exhibit boasts items such as Indiana Jones's fedora and jacket, Scarlett O’Hara’s green ‘curtain’ gown worn in Gone with the Wind and the red jacket worn by Michael Jackson in the music video for 'Thriller'. All these iconic costumes will be displayed alongside costumes from more recent releases including The Iron Lady, Batman and Spiderman.

Every costume and each piece of clothing has been sourced from across the globe and has been loaned from costume houses, museums, film studios and private collectors.
'This landmark exhibition will provide a once in a life-time opportunity to explore the most beloved characters in Hollywood history and gain insight on the role of the costume designer and their vital contribution to cinema storytelling.' 

- Guest curator and designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis.

The V&A anticipates that Hollywood Costume could be one of its most popular exhibitions of the year and tickets have already gone on sale. Click HERE for more information on tickets and dates.
