Alexander Golovin - Costume Designs For “The Firebird”, 1910

During an interview about her incredible costumes for the film Crimson Peak (2015), Kate Hawley mentioned two paintings that particularly inspired her design of the leading female cast’s iconic attire. Proserpine by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1874, top left) was taken into consideration for the character Lucille Sharpe, otherwise known as The Moth (top right). For Edith Cushing (bottom right), thought of as The Butterfly in contrast, The Bridesmaid by John Everett Millais (1851, bottom left) was said to have greatly influenced the character’s hauntingly beautiful look of cascading hair and the bridal-esque nightgown attire.

Phyllis Dalton was robbed of an Oscar for “Lawrence of Arabia” because nobody even entered her name in the competition. Her work was incredible, she designed hundreds and hundreds of costumes, went shopping in bazaars for fabrics, researched every army uniform, even found Allenby’s old tailor and had to make sure every costume was ready in time and in various variants.
