Heroes and Villains: The Art of the Disney Costume @ Museum of Pop Culture
“In film, television, and theater, costuming is a tremendously powerful tool for storytelling and character development,” said MoPOP Executive Director Alexis Lee. “Disney in particular is a master of the art and sets a standard for using wardrobe as a device for creative expression.”
The exhibit includes costumes from some of Hollywood’s preeminent designers, past and present, including Academy Award winners Colleen Atwood, Sandy Powell, and Tony Walton, as well as Emmy winner Ellen Mirojnick and Emmy nominees Eduardo Castro and Penny Rose.
Visitors will experience “Cinderella’s Workshop,” a gallery featuring the beloved fairy-tale character’s dresses from her numerous Disney incarnations, including 1997’s Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella; 2014’s Into the Woods; the 2015 live-action reimagining of the animated masterpiece Cinderella; and the ABC hit series Once Upon a Time.
The main gallery will be divided into three sections: “Disney Heroes,” “Disney Villains,” and “Spaces Between,” reserved for the antiheroes whose fascinating journeys make them among Disney’s most complex characters. There will also be interactive elements and plenty of chances for photo ops.
On exhibit until April 2022 at the Museum of Pop Culture
One year ago we watched as Chris Cornell’s children unveiled his statue at MoPOP in Seattle. This is a snippet of a video I shot that includes the kids (Lily, Toni, and Chris Jr), Kim, Ben, and Matt. You can also see Jeff Ament in the background. So many SOMMS memories. I was lucky to attend with some of my best friends that I met because of Soundgarden’s music. I made some new friends, too. 🤘🎶
