Hollywood Costume (20 October 2012 – 27 January 2013), The Victoria and Albert Museum’s (V&A) major autumn exhibition, will gather together over one hundred of the most iconic costumes designed for unforgettable cinema characters over a century of film-making.
For the first time, Hollywood Costume will unite classics from the Golden Age including Dorothy’s blue and white gingham pinafore dress designed by Adrian for The Wizard of Oz (1939), Scarlett O’Hara’s green ‘curtain’ dress designed by Walter Plunkett for Gone with the Wind (1939) and the ‘little black dress’ designed by Hubert De Givenchy for Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), with the latest Hollywood releases including Consolata Boyle’s costumes for Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady (2011).
Hollywood Costume will explore the central role of costume design – from the glamorous to the very subtle – as an essential tool of cinema storytelling. It will illuminate the costume designer’s creative process from script to screen and reveal the collaborative dialogue that leads to the invention of authentic people in the story.
The exhibition will also examine the changing social and technological context in which costume designers have worked over the last century.
The exhibition is a three-gallery journey from early Charlie Chaplin silent pictures to the motion capture costume design for Avatar (Deborah L. Scott, Mayes C. Rubeo, 2010) and John Carter (Mayes C. Rubeo, 2012).
From Joan Crawford’s blue gingham waitress uniform in Mildred Pierce, (Milo Anderson, 1945) to the sensational bugle-beaded ruby gown she wore in The Bride Wore Red, (Adrian, 1937), these costumes are united by their one purpose of serving the story.
Using montages, film clips and projections, the clothes will be placed in their original context, alongside interviews with key Hollywood costume designers, directors and actors talking about the role costume plays in creating a character.

Internationally distinguished haute couture fashion designers Mandali Mendrilla is dedicating her newest atelier collection “Slave2Love” (S2L) to her husband who died in a car accident in January.
Croatian born New York (USA) based stylist, designer and artist Mandali, who has several award winning collections to her credit, was working on S2L when an auto accident took the life of her husband Elisha Nitai Drury, 31; who was an artist, visionary, director of the Krishna Kitchen and founder of non-profit Food for Life Experience.
Mandali says that S2L is an “expression of the fragile nature of the human form versus the eternality of indwelling spirit”. “Inspired by Chuang Tzi’s butterfly metempsychosis and the eternal wisdom of the ancient scripture Bhagavad-Gita, the fluttering organic hand painted cloth expresses a longing for attainment of undying worlds within”, she adds about S2L.
This new collection, which was originally scheduled to be premiered at the Fall/Winter 2012 FashionWeek, was instead silently launched on her website.
Meanwhile, Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA), applauded Mandali for exploring ancient Hindu civilizations and reinventing ancient Indian dressing codes and artistic traditions for her collections and getting inspiration from Sanskrit epics. Creating clothing lines appeared to be a spiritual exercise for her, Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, added.

Cho Cho Design House announces the debut of its high fashion Smartphone bag. With its revolutionary high-fashion-meets-high-function design, it is the first bag of its kind that is customized to hold smartphones.
The bag features a secret window on the back, making it easy to check phone calls and messages without having to take the phone out of the bag. It also features a pair of adjustable and removable gold chain straps, which secure the smartphone at your side for easy access and offers three different ways to wear the bag.

The Cho Cho smartphone bag was created by Canadian-born, Miami-based fashion designers and international recording artist, Aasha.
