#TheJourney: It took Hollywood Costume Exhibit Curator Deborah Nadoolman Landis five years to assemble more than 150 film fashions and craft the collection into a multimedia spectacular (on display in Los Angeles).
The styles range from an antebellum Abe Lincoln suit to the dystopian future designs worn by Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games series. The exhibit shows that a great costume can change history, or, at the very least, inform our perception of it. Case in point: Best Picture nominee Bonnie and Clyde was set in the '30s, but '60s women went crazy for the beret and body-skimming midi skirt that designer Van Runkle created for Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway). ''Fashion trends are never made by bad movies,'' says Landis, who counts Van Runkle as one of her mentors. ''She was one of the greatest, if not the greatest costume illustrator of all time. Her sketches are incredible.''
