Edith Head
by an individual woman. She was a phenomenal costume designer. With Edith Head her costumes inspired a lot of new fashion of the time. When Edith worked with Hitchcock, she came up with perfect costumes for the 'perfect women' to dismantle. She succeeded with this task. She set trends with her signature sraong in Jungle Princess and a strapless evening gown in A Place in the Sun.
Costuming has came a long way. With the technology of our time, we are changing the way costume design has been perceived. Costuming is very important for movies. It sets the mood for the rest of the movie. To be honest, we probably don't care about the people who come up with the costumes that the actors wear. We might not realize it but costumes really make or break a movie. It really comes into play with superhero movies were costumes are stasis. When Man of Steel came out, it really took a toll on faithful Superhero fans as they strayed from the red underpants over the tights look for the similar to Spiderman look in Man of Steel. Fans weren't too happy, but it gave it a more masculine look.
Overall, costuming is important.
I always wondered who decided super heroes should be wearing leotards & briefs.
