I deliver perfection...
and don't brag about it! :D
:00:01
I'd like to introduce
our guest commentator for today,
:00:05
world-famous designer Miss Edith Head.
:00:09
The most famous designer in movie
history was the legendary Edith Head.
:00:14
I deliver perfection...
and don't brag about it! :D
:00:14
In over four decades of a 60-year career,
:00:17
Edith brought magic to the screen
:00:19
in her unforgettable costumes
for Paramount Pictures.
:00:52
Edith decided Paramount
would be a good place to get a job
:00:56
because she saw women working there.
But she couldn't draw at all.
:01:01
Howard Greer was
the costume designer at Paramount,
:01:04
and he taught her to draw like he drew.
:01:07
But quickly she started being very useful
all around the wardrobe department.
:01:13
In 1925, another designer,
Travis Banton, came out from New York.
:01:17
Eventually, Howard Greer left because
all the big stars were asking for Banton.
:01:23
Banton was enormously talented.
:01:26
Yes, this is Sunset Boulevard,
Los Angeles, California.
:01:27
Without Greer there, he started handing
some of the lesser assignments to Edith.
:01:30
It's about five o'clock in the morning.
:01:32
Banton didn't get along
too well with Clara Bow.
:01:33
That's the homicide squad, complete
with detectives and newspapermen.
:01:36
Clara Bow was Paramount's biggest star.
:01:39
A murder's been reported from one
of those houses in the 10000 block.
:01:39
The public adored her
but she had very poor taste in clothes.
:01:43
She liked to wear bangle bracelets
with all of her costumes,
:01:44
You'll read about it
in the late editions.
:01:47
she wanted belts on dresses
that weren't supposed to have them,
:01:47
You'll get it over your radio
and on television,
:01:51
she even wanted to wear
high-heeled shoes with ankle socks.
:01:51
because an old-time star is involved,
one of the biggest.
:01:54
And so Banton turned Clara Bow
over to Edith to dress.
:01:56
But before you hear it all distorted
and blown out of proportion,
:01:59
The most famous picture
they did together was "Wings".
