The Young Victoria Takes Oscar For Costume











Sandy Powell costume designer for 'The Young Victoria' picks up her third Oscar (her previous awards were for Shakespeare In Love and The Aviator, illustrating her range). Her advice for young designers is to go and look at actual dresses, rather than relying on the internet. She was lucky enough to be able to get access to study Queen Victoria's clothes, even her wedding dress. Times article here.
