Happy birthday, #ClareWest! One of Hollywood's earliest costume designers, she was beloved by #CecilBDeMille for her designs with "outlandish sexual elegance" that "made people gasp." Clare made an immediate and lasting impact on fashion with films like WHY CHANGE YOUR WIFE? (1920) starring #GloriaSwanson, which is one of The Style Essentials on GlamAmor (link in bio). #TCM #oldhollywood #classichollywood #styleinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/COsn7qonXMK/?igshid=15n55b1h3oxuc

Happy International Women's Day! Costume design is such an important factor in filmmaking and I constantly show how vital it is to the legacy of film. Women made enormous contributions to the art form. Here are just a few of the greats of Old Hollywood - #ClareWest, #DollyTree, #GwenWakeling, #BonnieCashin, #LeahRhodes, #VeraWest, #IreneLentzGibbons, #EdithHead, and #HelenRose. #TCM #oldhollywood #classichollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKdBoylWZ6/?igshid=1k08tj9xykjl6
