Pretty Little Liars: Costumes by Costume Designer & FIDM Grad, Mandi Line. Join us in celebrating the work of television costume designers at the 6th Annual Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design exhibition. Featuring costumes from a variety of television genres, the exhibition spotlights the role of costume design in creating believable onscreen characters. See costumes from favorite television shows, including Pretty Little Liars, Downton Abbey, Once Upon a Time, Sons of Anarchy, Hemingway & Gelhorn, Great Expectations, The Fresh Beat Band, Pan Am, Magic City, and more. The exhibition features over 75 costumes from 16 shows, six of which have been honored with an Emmy nomination for best costume design in a series or miniseries, movie, or special. The range of costumes in the exhibition is spectacular. The glorious 1920’s fashions of Boardwalk Empire, the Medieval garb of Game of Thrones, the hourglass Marilyn Monroe-inspired sequined gowns of Smash, and the Rubber Man Suit in American Horror Story, are all a testament to the creativity and style, skill and talent, the research and the imagination of the countless designers who further the visual art of storytelling. Here’s a look at some highlights from the opening night gala.
