The Fashion Icons
JOAN
CRAWFORD
I'm not sure if it's the eyebrows, the Gilbert Adrian designs she wore so well,
or her notorious reputation, but Joan Crawford is an undeniable fashion force
who demands our attention with her striking presence.

VIVIEN
LEIGH
LEIGH
Unlike her complicated, very tragic life, Vivien Leigh's wardrobe was based on elegant simplicity.
In contrast to the roles she played, she wore chic, understated clothing with strong sophistication.
INGRID
BERGMAN
Another understated fashion icon with incredible style that appears effortless. The Casablanca style seemed to fit her naturally

OLIVIA
DE HAVILLAND
DE HAVILLAND
For many people, it is hard to see Olivia De Havilland beyond the character of Melanie Wilkes.
The vivacious beauty had another side that was nothing less than Hollywood glamor girl.

GINGER
ROGERS
ROGERS
She could dance, she could act, and she knew how to make a dress move! I recently sold a dress that belonged to Ginger Rogers and I loved imagining her wearing it and sliding across those shiny dance floors with Fred. I was a little sad to see it go!

THE DESIGNERS:
GILBERT ADRIAN
I know I mentioned Gilbert Adrian on Day 1, but the designer who brought us Glinda's pink dress and the ruby slippers deserves two days of recognition!

"Few people in an audience watching a great screen production realize the importance of any gown worn by the feminine star...
the fact that it was definitely planned to mirror some definite mood, to be as much a part of the play as the lines or the scenery, seldom occurs to them." Gilbert Adrian
Gilbert Adrian created the1940s Shoulder pads we all know so well.
