• Costume Couture Exhibition Preview

Be the first to see Costume Couture: Sixty Years of Cosprop in a special exhibition preview event before it opens to the public. Join the Dovecot team and the exhibition curator to celebrate the arrival of this pioneering exhibition to Scotland in style.

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.

This exhibition is a celebration of sixty years of Cosprop’s creativity and an opportunity to see behind the scenes of this celebrated costume house. Through stunning costumes, accessories and sketches, the visitor will learn the design and making process from script to screen. Leading costume designers and actors will share their thoughts on favourite costumes, showing how Cosprop brought these magical moments to life.
