Gowns by Adrian

Joan Crawford as "Letty Lynton" in 1932 in a gown designed by Adrian (Adrian Greenburg), who was married to Janet Gaynor, with whom he had a son. The film became mired in a copyright dispute.





Here are "The Women" in gowns by Adrian; Norma Shearer, Joan, and Rosalind Russell. (click pic to enlarge)





The "ruby slippers" on the feet of Judy Garland, Adrian designed the costumes for "The Wizard of Oz," and over 200 other films.





He even made a monkey look good. Note the detail in Margaret Hamilton's costume.





And Adrian himself, with the signature that became his label.





Adrian died of a heart attack at age 56 in 1959, while designing costumes for "Camelot" on Broadway, for which he won a posthumous Tony.
