Sketch Girl

Hollywood Costume designer Edith Head was known for dressing some of old Hollywood's leading ladies, from Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren to Grace Kelly...

Head started her career in the early 20's as a sketch artist for Paramount studios costume department. Not long after Head became head of the costume department and stayed for 44 years.

Her designs were always classic and timeless.
 






Head was awarded 8 academy awards throughout her long spanning career and had over 30 nominations.

Her iconic designs in "To Catch A Thief" with Grace Kelly are my favorite. The entire film Kelly is dressed perfectly not a line out of place...

The gloves, cat eye sunglasses and of course the draped silk chiffon gowns  worn by Kelly were perfection...
