😘😘

👏❤️

She also inspired a song by They Might Be Giants! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoHp...

What a pioneer in costumes, sewing and women's rights. I still have several of her books. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_H...

How positively Elonlike. 🐀

NO CAPES!

My favorite character- and so cool to know that Edna was based on Edith!

One (if not the last) of her films was “Dead Man Don’t Wear Plaid,” which blends classic movie film clips and new costumes into seamless [pun intended] style. She was a star all her own in the classic Hollywood firmament!

Back in highschool I knew a girl, not too simple and not too kind. We both grew up but I heard she changed from a new wave fan to another kind.

Edith Head measures Jerry Lewis' gold llame costume on the set of "A Visit to a Small Planet" (1960).

Edna Mode vibes.

She said her proudest achievement was when her submission for the US Coast Guard women's dress uniform was selected above all other entries by the Dept of Defense.

What an artist. Magnificent. Thanks for sharing. ✌️

She created fabulous outfits!

She also guest starred in a Columbo episode with Peter Falk and Anne Baxter "Requiem for a Falling Star" Season 2 Episode 5

During the Fascist period of 1947-57 in Hollywood (i.e. when the US-government violated the 1st Amendment rights of directors, writers, actors, etc.), Edith Head (i.e. apolitical) had to tread carefully with actresses she was close to (e.g. Elizabeth Taylor) who spoke out against the Fascism.

Also appeared as herself in a #Columbo episode.

Aha! Now I see who Edna Mode was based on - excellent!!

Edith is who she is based on.
