This week we are discussing the 1969 Movie Musical Hello Dolly starring Barbara Streisand. Costumes are designed by Irene Sharaff, who Coleen has dubbed the queen of musicals. She did not design costumes for Dolly on Broadway, but she did get an Oscar nomination for her film designs. We also discuss the 6 Hello Dolly costumes in the collection, and the Sharaff illustrations that inspired the acquisitions. Lots to discuss and we hope this could inspire an Irene Sharaff costume exhibition in the future!
