Goldie Hawn and Walter Matthau in Cactus Flower via Clothes on Film.
We hope NYWIFT’s Designing Women Awards prompted a new interest in the hardworking women and men whose choices help bring characters to life with the flick of a scarf or a swish of a skirt.
To keep your costume senses tingling until Designing Women 2014, stop by the blog Clothes on Film. It features sneak peaks of costumes for upcoming blockbusters as well insights into designers’ work, such as Ellen Mirojnick and her work on Behind the Candalabra. The blog also has throwback features such as their post, “Goldie Hawn in Cactus Flower: Mini Skirts and Mini Suits," with stills from the vintage campy classic Cactus Flower, seen above.
