Recognizing Disney Costume Designer Alice Davis

Art & Object: In 1962, a new hire for WED Enterprises, later known as the Disney Imagineers, was given her first task: to create and design over one hundred and fifty costumes for a new ride and project called it’s a small world. The catch? She had to do it in one year. So began the legacy of famed Disney costume designer, Alice Davis, who recently passed away in November 2022.
