81: Edith Head; Or, Dressed To Impress

Since it's almost spring, it's the perfect time to throw out those ratty rags from last year and add some fresh looks to your wardrobe. So, to inspire your inner fashionistas, we’re taking a look back at the work of an unsung hero behind the outfits of Hollywood's early movie stars: costume designer Edith Head.

Ray teaches Rob about how Edith went from substitute teacher to Mae West’s costumer and confidante in only a few short years; Rob’s new Dorothy Lamour-inspired sarong; Pixar's homage to Head’s superhuman capabilities; and the hundreds of films through which Edith's work continues to be celebrated.
