Edith Head passed away 31 years ago today but the costumes she designed for film and particularly the movies of Alfred Hitchcock are immortal.  Assembling these screenshots (from the 1000 Frames of Hitchcock project), I noticed the frequent use of purple (especially its ironic use in Topaz), that older characters who are typically dowdy in film have a sense of style and sophistication in her work and how she was able to add little touches to even the minor characters to make them distinct and memorable.
