• Costume Couture Curator Talk

Join us for a special opening day talk with exhibition curator Keith Lodwick. Explore the iconic world of Cosprop with an opportunity to see behind the scenes of this celebrated costume house.

Founded by Oscar and BAFTA-winning costume designer John Bright in 1965, legendary London based Cosprop specialises in period costume for film, television and theatre. Through his work as a costume designer, a costumier, maker, advisor, collector and historian, Bright’s intelligence and eye for detail is in thousands of film, television and stage productions.

Cosprop is synonymous with dressing iconic characters in award-winning films and television, including Helena Bonham Carter in A Room with a View, Meryl Streep in Out of Africa, Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey, Colin Firth as Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, and Leslie Manville in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.
