Gilbert Adrian (1903-1959)
Adrian was a costume designer and fashion designer who dressed the "Golden Age" of Hollywood stars. He began designing costume for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studio in 1925, and created costumes to develop the individual personas of film actresses including Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Jean Harlow, Katherine Hepburn, and Judy Garland. In 1942, Adrian opened a design studio and showroom in Beverly Hills under the label Adrian Ltd. He stated in 1950, "Clothes should be functional, with a flattering grace that makes them un-dated and timeless in their charm."
