Inspirations: Film Costume

The 1940's Howard Hawks film His Girl Friday starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell features one of my all-time favorite costumes: a fabulous chevron striped coat and matching hat worn by Russell in the scene where she arrives back in the newsroom.  It was designed by Columbia Pictures' resident costume designer Robert Kalloch.
