Happy Birthday Edith Head

"A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes" ~ Edith Head

One of her most iconic sketches for the film A Place in the Sun, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.

Costume designer at work. I love this fabric, I wonder what film she was working on here.

Last but not least, her sketch for Sabrina. Every girl dreams of owning a dress like this one day.
