Fashion Spotlight: Adrian

Like many designers before him, Adrian Adolphe Green started on the stage fresh off of transferring from the New York School for Fine and Applied Arts to Paris's. In 1922 while in Paris, he was hired by Irving Berlin to costume the off-broadway "The Music Box Revue." When his next employer, Cecil B. DeMille, temporarily moved into Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Adrian became chief costume designer. There he would craft some of his most well known creations, including Judy Garland's ruby slippers in "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) and all the gowns in the deleted fashion show scene in "The Women."
