Austen film costumes exhibited in Huntsville
This fall the Hunstville Museum of Art is the national debut venue for the exhibition entitled Fashion in Film: Period Costumes for the Screen. Thirty-five costumes from period movies are part of the exhibit; among those movies are PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and SENSE AND SENSIBILITY.
This costume worn by Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy is featured on the preview page. However, having scanned through the movie just now I couldn’t spot the scene where he wore it. I saw his stripey waistcoast several times, did a slight swoon over his grey greatcoat, and found he favored light-colored waistcoats for formal evening events. But I didn’t see his blue waistcoat with brass (I believe) buttons anywhere.
Perhaps someone else will have better luck than I.
The exhibit will be displayed until January 23, 2005.
More information about the exhibit is available here.
