For National Dress Day, just a little piece of advice from one of Hollywood's leading costume designers: "Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a lady."—Edith Head #lucilleball #edithhead #costumedesigners #factsoflife #1960sfashion #bealady #tightdress https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdMb96O3tG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is #kidlitpostcard day and I have a question for you… What would you want to know about my work? For example, I could tell you that I LOVE adding tiny meaningful details to my illustrations. This is a fragment from my last picture book: DRESSING UP THE STARS, The Story of Movie Costume Designer Edith Head (written by #JeanneWalkerHarvey and published by @simonkids). Once, when Edith was starting out in Hollywood, her boss asked her to organize thousands and thousands of buttons. While this anecdote didn’t make it into the book, I drew this jar of buttons as a little wink to what was to come. Editors & art directors, I’m looking for new projects that ask readers to slow down, pour over details and soak up the mood of the story. ❤️ Agents, write me if you want us to work together! I’m looking for a new agent and excited to find just the right partnership. To learn more about me and my work, visit my website! — Link in profile. • #hornedtoad #dressingupthestars #DianaToledano #kidlitart #picturebook #picturebookillustrations #manifestingdreams #kidlitartist #ilustradora #ilustracioninfantil #picturebookbiography #edithhead https://www.instagram.com/p/CjYW_MLJE3O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The lovely Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina Fair in her iconic Givenchy gown (or is it Edith Head?) in Billy Wilder’s classic 1954 Sabrina (forget that awful 90s remake). This is one of my favourite Hepburn movies by far.

💝Throughout February, I’ll be posting 28 unforgettable outfits from film and television that I love. I even made an original logo for this series! My seventh FebruWEARy pick: Edith Head’s brilliant and beautiful costumes for Kim Novak in Vertigo really elevated the story, with each outfit having a clear narrative objective that it effortlessly embodied. While the gray skirt suit is iconic and important to the plot, it’s this green ensemble that she wears as Judy Barton is first introduced that has always stayed with me. And ironically, this look is supposed to be unattractive—a downgrade. It serves as a dramatic shift in tone that the entire film hinges on. Without any context, this look is really charming, I think— I’d absolutely wear this! However, in the film, it abruptly divides Novak’s duel roles of Judy Barton and Madeleine Elster (it is no secret that Novak plays both). She doesn’t get enough credit for how impressively she pulls off something most actors would find impossible to so subtly convey. Alfred Hitchcock always has a very particular vision for every aspect of his films, especially when it comes to his precious “blondes,” as he feels the audience finds them more trustworthy and therefore more devastated if they are deceitful and or the victim. Novak gets the distinction of living on both ends of the spectrum as a blonde and a brunette in Vertigo. Judy’s first outfit is sadly domestic and frumpy compared to Madeleine’s chic and sleek looks. Judy’s polka dots, monochromatic green tones, and commercial garments are so mundane compared to Madeleine’s sophisticated, classic silhouettes in black, white, and gray that are modest yet sexy. Plus, Hitchcock famously associated green with… maybe I should stop my analysis before some of my insights about this look accidentally give something away for those who have yet to see it. Is there such thing as “spoiling” a movie that was made in 1958? It’s a masterpiece and I wouldn’t want to give anything too big away incase you want to see it. 💘 #februweary #fashion #puns #myart #vertigo #classicfilm #kimnovak #judybarton #hitchcock #alfredhitchcock #edithhead https://www.instagram.com/p/CorI6x0u5Zd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blu Christmas Holiday Movie Asplosion 2022! ⛄ Chapter 26: Christmas in Connecticut 🦌 Jumping back into a couple more golden era/classic stars, whatever you wanna call 'em, entries here, first with Christmas in Connecticut, a romantic comedy with Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, and Sydney Greenstreet. A fun, ridiculous little romp (whatever a romp is), with some of the most enjoyable bits coming from supporting characters (though everyone does a pretty good job), that said, I must say Sydney Greenstreet is particularly notable in his blustery nonsense, and weirdly jovial final moment in the film. 🌲 ❄️ 🎄 🎅 #ChristmasInConnecticut #1945 #SydneyGreenstreet #BarbaraStanwyck #DennisMorgan #UnaOConnor #SZSakall #DickElliott #RobertShayne #FrankJenks #JoyceCompton #EdithHead #PeterGodfrey #BluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2022 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon . https://www.instagram.com/p/CmVUuj1OEKcj5rHcV1LuuETn-DVbEZRrj5MxQQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Have you ever wished you could visit a bookstore in a movie?? 
While the fictional #EmbryoConcepts of #FunnyFace did not exist on the fabled #BookRow of Fourth Avenue, which has itself disappeared since, you can certainly visit #WeinbergModernBooks in downtown New York!  (📧 or dm for your appointment today!)
Our book-lined #Tribeca loft houses subjects in #VisualCulture and #IntellectualHistory, with a distinct #NewYork character, as many of them came out of the collections of local artists, scholars and collectors. 
For those of you home and abroad who can’t make it to lower Manhattan just yet, we encourage you to explore our website (link in bio👆) — while it only represents a tiny fraction of our collection, it’s an Alice-themed book wonderland into whose #RabbitHole you may disappear. 
And now, please enjoy a fantasy ballet sequence in the grand tradition of #GoldenAge musicals, starring our own #JoStockton, the ballerina and designer, #XiaoxiaoCao.

I took a few pics at Elvis Exhibition in Bendigo. Things I thought a tad interesting. Everything from Elvis’ clothing and jumpsuits (most made of wool, how hot!) through to his red MG (used in film Blue Hawaii) and dresses from King Creole, made by Hollywood legend and costumer, Edith Head. Note the cheque and keys to Graceland, where Elvis lived for 20 years. Enjoy 😊 #king #kingpin #elvis #elvispresley #elvispresleyfan #elvisforever #edithhead #hollywood #kingcreole #bluehawaii #elvisfilms #gracelands (at Bendigo Art Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgBVE1ZLEUG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'The Facts Of Life' opened just in time for holiday theater-goers on November 14, 1960. The movie was nominated for Academy Awards in the categories of Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Original Song and Best Screenplay. Edith Head and Edward Stevenson took home the Oscar for Best Costume Design. The blu-ray edition of this movie would make a great stocking stuffer! #lucilleball #bobhope #thefactsoflife #oscars #academyawards #edithhead #merrychristmas #santaclause #santasuit #bestcostume #bestscreenplay #bestoriginalsong #bestcinematography #artdirection #waynelvslcy #ilovelucy #xmas #stockingstufferideas #stockingstuffer https://www.instagram.com/p/CmPemk8vGrL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
