My costume designs inspired by Garbo

[Visage d'art]

I’ve just updated my idea of dress for Garbo inspired by the movie « Susan Lennox”.





The front is like in the movie except that I have given her cuffs with studs and a necktie in the back, and the colour is blue navy. The idea is to wear whether the front opened and the back closed whether the opposite with the necktie in the back.

You can use the template I created below to let your imagination goes too! I hope you will reconnoitre the silhouette of your divine .



Surely this dress is already existing since the designers created almost everything...

Kind regards,

I'm also trying to imagine a new costume of "Mata Hari".

In the movie, Garbo had a kind of "Robin hood" velvet costume very nice:



I have imagined a melting of chinese and Middle East style of garment, letting appear her left shoulder blade or a side of the back.

Here is the trial:



The blank template:


= it could be good all in white with a veil in the back as a cape.

I understand why the costume designer of Garbo in “Mata Hari” put shining details on her costume because when I try similar clothes in black, it doesn’t look very “couture” (rather floorcloth or hard rock). Only a true designer could make it look good. I’ve got a few options to try again and will let you know.

She had a diagonal dress in "The Mysterious Lady" showing flowers on a side:

Moreover, our member and designer David Lee sent us those wonderful Garbo’s paper dolls, which he colorized himself:


= Garbo in “Inspiration”


= Garbo in “The Mysterious Lady”


= Garbo in “The Temptress”


= Garbo in “Romance”

And many others…………
