For decades, Edith Head was the mastermind behind the glamorous costumes that defined Hollywood's Golden Age, dressing countless stars of the screen from Grace Kelly to Audrey Hepburn. Who was the woman behind the iconic glasses, and how did she create a legacy that endures to this day? It's time to uncover the story of Hollywood’s most influential designer who transformed stars into screen legends, one stitch at a time.

Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the fascinating life and career of Edith Head, the trailblazing costume designer who revolutionized the world of fashion on the silver screen between the 1920s and '80s.

Led by esteemed costume designer and fashion historian Jolene Marie Richardson, our fashion-forward virtual experience surrounding the eight-time Academy Award winner will include:

• The early years of Edith Head, from her unexpected start as an art teacher to her transition into the world of costume design despite having no formal training
• Edith's rapid rise at Paramount Studios where she went from an assistant in the costume department to one of Hollywood’s most sought-after costume designers
• An exploration of how Edith's designs shaped the on-screen personas of iconic actresses like Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn — and how she became a fashion celebrity in her own right by the 1940s
• The behind-the-scenes drama of the famous feud with Hubert de Givenchy over Audrey Hepburn’s wardrobe in Sabrina, and the impact it had on Edith’s career and reputation in Hollywood
• How Edith managed to sustain her career after the dissolution of the studio system
• A deep dive into how her work has left a lasting imprint on Hollywood, including her continued influence on countless designers, modern fashion, and pop culture to this day

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Jolene — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
