R.I.P. Julie Harris (1921-2015)

Julie Harris
When it comes to the look of the film, very few people notice how hard it is to design the wardrobe. Whether it is the simple use of a shirt and jacket combination or a period piece costume with elegant sequins, there's something important about putting effort into it. It creates iconography and makes a story more interesting visually. Among the costume designers who have made an impact is Julie Harris, who passed away today at the age of 94 in London, England. With a career spanning 50 years, she was responsible for a lot of the iconic looks ranging from A Hard Day's Night to The Great Muppet Caper. Her work continues to stand the test of time with their magnificence and beauty.
