Just as the
Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in
Downtown L.A. showcased the past twelve months of movie costume design earlier this Spring, they're currently shining a spotlight on TV wardrobes with their
10th annual Art of TV Costume Design exhibit which runs until October 15, 2016. Included in the exhibition of over 100 outfits from over twenty shows are these
Emmy nominated costumes from
George R.R. Martin's medieval fantasy epic,
Game of Thrones.

These five fantastic costumes are credited to
Costume Designer Michele Clapton, Assistant Costume Designer Chloe Aubry and
Costume Supervisor Sheena Wichary and were photographed on display on August 9, 2016.
