Hollywood Costume

V&A Museum, London

Hollywood Costume occupied three galleries at the V&A in 2012, delivering a star-burst of evocative movie characters. From Dorothy, Scarlett O’Hara and Elizabeth I, Indiana Jones and Jake La Motta, it presented the iconic outfits - the sparkly red shoes, Indy’s jacket, Jack Sparrow’s hat - which made those characters mythical. Matt black stage environments and studio lighting evoked a movie set. Visitors followed the journey from script to screen, playing an integral part in the process of creating characters. They could read scripts, see sketches and listen in on conversations between the director, actor and designer. Music, animation and a wealth of detail created an unforgettable visitor experience.

"Casson Mann rose to the challenge of creating a truly 'wonder full', compelling and inspirational new design befitting the Hunterian's extraordinary collections. It has been a stimulating and rewarding process working with the Casson Mann team. Their creative spirit of enquiry is infectious and their attention to quality and the visitor's experience is second to none."  

Dawn Kemp, Director of Museums and Special Collections at the Royal College of Surgeons of England

“The Casson Mann agency took up a huge challenge by conceiving a resolutely modern and creative scenography, perfectly meeting the requirements of our unique demand. A very successful sensory immersion in the heart of the Champagne region. A big thank you for your creative work and your follow-up from the beginning to the end of the project.”
