Museum Curators on Fashion Design and Costumes for the Theater // Chagall: Fantasies for the Stage

In this video Kaye Spilker and Clarissa Esguerra (Costume and Textiles curators at LACMA) reflect on the differences between fashion design and costuming for the theater. They discuss the fantastical qualities and larger-than-life scale of Marc Chagall's costumes, as well as the joys and challenges of installing them at LACMA. This interview was produced in conjunction with the exhibition "Chagall: Fantasies for the Stage" on view at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art July 31, 2017–January 7, 2018.
