How television and film costumes are rewriting history for women
In a piece for Elle, Fawnia Soo Hoo takes a look at how onscreen fashion is giving several well-known female figures in history a chance to reclaim their narratives. "Along with memoirs and documentaries, dramatized film and TV projects give us a reintroduction to these narratives through a fresh lens, and an opportunity to reassess those one-note perceptions nailed into our consciousness." Costume designers Clint Ramos and Meredith Markworth-Pollack weigh in on what they are doing to sartorially flip the script. {Elle}
