What Darth Vader would be without his legendary black cape and helmet ?

More than a simple accessory, cortumes allowes an actor to become someone else, to become the character he playes. This exhibition is not only about beautiful Middle Ages's style dresses, as we can used to see. There are also the James Bond's black suit or the clothes of Matt Damon in Bourne Identity. The more casual costume has a very useful role. That is this exhibition seems to want to show to the public.

In a technical point of view, it needs five years to the organizers to gather all of the costumes. Indeed, the Hollywood costumes exhibition recounts the history of costumes design from the all last century, from The Wizard of Oz (1939) to The Blues Brothers (1980), from The Seven Years Itch (1955) to Brokeback Mountain (2005).
