Hollywood Costume occupied three galleries at the V&A in 2012, delivering a star-burst of evocative movie characters. From Dorothy, Scarlett O’Hara and Elizabeth I, Indiana Jones and Jake La Motta, it presented the iconic outfits - the sparkly red shoes, Indy’s jacket, Jack Sparrow’s hat - which made those characters mythical. Matt black stage environments and studio lighting evoked a movie set. Visitors followed the journey from script to screen, playing an integral part in the process of creating characters. They could read scripts, see sketches and listen in on conversations between the director, actor and designer. Music, animation and a wealth of detail created an unforgettable visitor experience.
