Edith Head, born Oct. 28, 1897, was one of those designers and is considered one of Hollywood’s best costume designers of all-time. With a signature look of dark hair in a tight bun and dark glasses, Head costumed top stars such as Grace Kelly, Gloria Swanson, Audrey Hepburn and Bette Davis. She was recognized for her work too—from 1949 to 1978, Head was nominated for an Academy Award for costume design 35 times and won eight Oscars.
