FIDM's 24th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition
Tyranny of Style: Every year, the FIDM Museum presents its impressive showcase of the past year's most memorable moments in film costume design. This year's exhibition, which opens to the public on Tuesday, February 9, is another stunning example of the fine work the museum's curators. On display you’ll view a huge variety of costumes, ranging from lavish fantasy period pieces like Cinderella to the modern chic of Pitch Perfect 2. In addition, all five of this year's Academy Award nominees are included, as well as many of the Costume Designers Guild award honorees.

To look at a year in film strictly through the lens of costume design is something I already do in my mind's eye, so to see it happening in 3D is more than fulfilling. In the framework of film it can be easy to become absorbed in how costumes help to tell the story and thus forget the story they tell for themselves. Looking at them as narrators of a character's inner monologue is something I always try to do, and I think this exhibit makes it abundantly clear how telling that can be. Every little detail makes a big difference and adds to an actor's performance, and all the designers' whose work is displayed are a prime example of the dedication that takes. More so, the fact that these garments continue to tell their characters' stories even after they've finished filming is a testament to the talent and work that went into their creation. I could daydream for hours about the kinds of films I hope to design for one day, but looking at these photos I don't have to. The work I hope to do is already being done, and can only grow more exciting with time. I can't wait to see where things go next.
