Will you have a slide show or digitized version of the costume sketches and illustrations? That would be wonderful.
Hello Christian,
Unfortunately, we don’t have plans to digitize the images. I hope you’ll be able to make it to the show!
Will there be a catalog? My daughter was away at college until the 20th — she’s a costume designer and her birthday’s coming up. 🙂
Thanks!
Hi Susan,
Sadly, no. Join us January/February 2011 when we will have our annual show of Hollywood Costumes. The dates aren’t set yet, but it usually opens in late Jan. or early Feb.
thanks for collecting all these inspiring illustrations!
