Beauty in the Details

When we prepare our annual Art of Outstanding Television Costume Design exhibition, we have the opportunity to closely examine garments as we condition, dress, and place ensembles around the galleries. Though these costumes are meant for the small screen, we are continuously amazed at the beautiful and intricate details that designers incorporate into their work. It is these thoughtful additions that help the audience understand and interpret characters, giving vibrancy and authenticity to the programs we love to watch. The exhibition officially opens to the public on August 2, but we couldn't wait to share a few of our favorite costume details with you below.
