Oscar Winning Fashion Spotlight #AcademyAwards #BestCostumeDesign Edith Head

For being a graduate in letters and sciences with honors in French, this isn't the usual beginnings for the legendary Oscar winning costume designer Edith Head. Getting her first job with 1924 as a costume sketch artist with Paramount Pictures, she barely knew how to draw or design. Head ended up working there for 43 years until going to Universal in the '60s. During that time, she had won six of her eight legendary Oscar nominations while being loaned out to Universal. Edith Head remains the only woman to have won the most Academy Awards.

All About Eve (1951)

Roman Holiday (1953)

Sabrina (1954)
