"We never forget the clothes worn by the most iconic film characters: Dorothy\u2019s blue-and-white gingham pinafore in \u201CThe Wizard of Oz,\u201D Indiana Jones\u2019s fedora and leather jacket, Holly Golightly\u2019s floor-length Givenchy gown with necklace, gloves, and tiara in \u201CBreakfast at Tiffany\u2019s.\u201D The costumes bring their personalities to life. The upcoming fall exhibition at London\u2019s Victoria &amp;amp; Albert Museum, \u201CHollywood Costume,\u201D seeks to reunite moviegoers with the costumes of the characters they once connected with onscreen.For the past five years Deborah Nadoolman Landis, former costume designer, current head of UCLA\u2019s David C. Copley Center for Costume Design, and senior guest curator of the exhibition, has been procuring more than 100 costumes for the show \u2014 which opens on October 20 \u2014 from collectors, motion picture studios, costume houses, and museums. In addition to the outfits from \u201CThe Wizard of Oz,\u201D \u201CBreakfast at Tiffany\u2019s,\u201D and the original \u201CIndiana Jones\u201D trilogy, the comprehensive exhibition will include pieces worn by Charlie Chaplin from the era of silent film to a dress worn by B\u00E9r\u00E9nice Bejo in the 2011 hit \u201CThe Artist.\u201D Set across three galleries, \u201CHollywood Costume\u201D will show movie clips along with videos of conversations between the directors and costume designers, like Martin Scorsese and Sandy Powell. Other segments feature Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep explaining the role costumes play in film. \u2028\u2028\u201CCostume design is an intellectual pursuit, it\u2019s more about the conversation than the clothes,\u201D said Nadoolman Landis, who, along with Academy Award-winning costume designer Ann Roth, spoke at a press preview in New York to promote the exhibition. The two discussed the process behind a job, from reading a script to meeting with directors to acquiring and creating pieces in order to help build a character. \u201CThe character happens and there\u2019s no controlling it,\u201D said Roth. \u201COnce that happens, you know what to do.\u201DClick on the slide show to see pieces that will be featured in \u201CHollywood Costume,\u201D opening at the V&amp;amp;A October 20.[content:advertisement-center]&amp;nbsp;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
