Bendigo Art Gallery is celebrating the most significant costume designer in film history by holding an exclusive exhibition on Edith Head. The Costume Designer: Edith Head & Hollywood is currently on display until 21 January, 2018.

The Costume Designer: Edith Head & Hollywood exhibition has more than seventy costumes on display. They were designed by Head from the 1930s to the 1960s and they've been borrowed from the archives of Paramount as well as from the Collection of Motion Picture Costume Design and other private collections.

The exhibition features beautifully tailored suits, day dresses, glamourous evening gowns, period dresses and performance costumes.
