Oscar-nominated costumes spotlighted at FIDM’s film exhibit
A new film will be joining their ranks this weekend during the 95th Academy Awards, and you can see some of its costumes on display at the “Art of Costume Design in Film” exhibit at the Fashion Institute & Design Merchandising (FIDM) Museum through May 6, 2023. All five Academy Award nominees for Costume Design will be featured at the free exhibit alongside dozens of designs from 18 of the hottest films from this season.
Is the purple dress that Angela Bassett wears in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” on display?
It’s one of my favorite costumes actually and I think it’s also one of the costume designer Ruth E. Carter’s favorite costume.
The dress is purple velvet — purple is the color of royals — and it has golden embroidery. It features a 3D printed isicholo, which is a Zulu headdress that married Zulu women wear. It was made by architect Julia Koerner.
