The seamlessly fabulous Sandy Powell

Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles 1994

(yes she is wearing a sparkling barret, and yes she is oh so fab with all of her accessories...even though she could shed some. But I do admire her bold choices. Oh so bad ass fab...)
Some FUN facts
- she has costumed Leonardo DiCaprio at least 4 times...I counted!
-She is British and studied Theater Design at London's Central School of Art
-Oh, and she has 3 Oscars. No biggie...
And to top it off an inspiring quote which reveals a lot about her design:
"Unless of course the film requires it, I'm not interested in an exact replica of the period. I look at the period, how it should be, how it could be, and then I do my own version." [Time, 22 Feb, 1999]
