With the 85th Academy Awards fast approaching here's the perfect opportunity to have a closer look at a previous Oscar-winning Costume Designer's work, in this instance from Stanley Kubrick's 1975 period drama, Barry Lyndon.
Costumes from Barry Lyndon on display at LACMA
Milena Canonero and
Ulla-Britt Söderland shared the
Oscar for
Best Costume Design on
Barry Lyndon and these 18th Century period costumes from the film were photographed on display at the
Stanley Kubrick exhibition at the
Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on January 10, 2013.

It's always a pleasure to be able to see movie costumes up close, especially when they are not surrounded by a display case.

Many of the costumes used in
Barry Lyndon were genuine antique clothes, whilst other were custom-made for the film based on clothing represented in period paintings.
Milena Canonero drew inspiration for the scenes in
England from such works by
Thomas Gainsborough and
Joshua Reynolds, whilst for the movie's candlelit scenes the
Italian designer was influenced by the
German painter
Adolph Menzel.

milena often uses antique lace and trim for her costumes.The lace trim on that gown definitely looks antique.
