‘Sandy Powell’s Dressing the Part: Costume Design for Film’

Recipient of the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship, Sandy Powell is a formidable force in the filmmaking industry. Her work is continually recognized and celebrated among her peers, earning the highest honors for achievement in costume design, including three Academy Awards. Her longstanding collaborations with directors Martin Scorsese, Todd Haynes, and Neil Jordan and actors Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, and Cate Blanchett have encouraged Powell to design costumes that become characters of their own and vehicles of discovery for those who embody them.

In the debut exhibition of her work, visitors bear witness to Powell’s 40-year career of storytelling within a series of vignettes featuring more than 70 costumes from nearly 30 films, including Shakespeare in Love, The Wolf of Wall Street, and How to Talk to Girls at Parties. Experiencing Powell’s practice across an array of genres, periods, and realities, viewers are immersed in her legacy of worldbuilding.

Sandy Powell’s Dressing the Part: Costume Design for Film is curated by Rafael Gomes, creative director of SCAD FASH museums.
