Some of the 47 Ronin costumes designed by Penny Rose are included in the 22nd Annual Art of Motion Picture Design Exhibition at the FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design Merchandizing) Museum. The exhibition runs February 11 – April 26.
Frock Talk has a photo of some of the costumes (half way down the page) and said the following about Penny Rose:
Just about anything designer Penny Rose does turns out beautifully… so it is no surprise, therefore, that the costumes for ’47 Ronin’ are stunning. Look at the colors, the embroidery, the fabrics – it’s lovely. I’m sorry that the film wasn’t more widely seen – the costumes are truly breathtaking, in particular the Rinko Kikuchi witch costume (not pictured here) – the pleating and the piecing of the bodice are amazing.
For any readers in the LA area who are interested visiting the exhibit, additional information on the exhibit is here.
