A Jean Louis Costume Design for Julie Andrews
A Jean Louis Costume Design for Julie Andrews
Watercolor, pencil, and gouache on paper, alternate costume design for Julie Andrews as Millie Dillmount in Thoroughly Modern Millie (Universal, 1967), depicting a yellow, black, and grey flapper dress with pleats at front, signed 'Jean Louis' in ink (lower right), framed. 18 x 13 1/2 in.
The wardrobe designed by Jean Louis for Thoroughly Modern Millie was so fantastic that a short documentary was produced showcasing the extravagant costumes. Louis perfectly captured the Roaring '20s in all its magnificent decadence with colorful costumes accentuated by lavalieres, drop waists, fringe, pleats, cloche hats, and other accoutrements of the Flapper style. This particular design is likely an alternate to the yellow and black costume Andrews wears in the film.ProvenanceThe Estate of Robert Street
