Edith Head

“My motto is that the audience should notice the actors, not the clothes.”

“Every different director has another language - for instance, Hitchcock does not like any bright color ever, unless the story says 'there goes the girl in a red dress.'”

“You can lead a horse to water and you can even make it drink, but you can't make actresses wear what they don't want to wear.”

“If you hunger for certain types of clothes, for which you have little use, put yourself on a diet. Just as you resist too much whipped cream and French pastry to keep your figure in shape, you can say no to those yearned-for but unneeded purchases that lead to a wardrobe that is shapeless and without form.”
